In the ancient East, there are many health-preserving methods that are not only simple and easy to do, but also effective. The following are two exercises for nourishing the liver and kidney, and 10 health-preserving tips.
Close your eyes to nourish the liver
Ancient method says: When you close your eyes, you nourish the liver. Because “the liver is responsible for storing blood” and the liver is responsible for the eyes.
Dry eyes, tears in the wind and other eye diseases are actually related to liver disease. Tears in the wind are caused by insufficient liver astringency, and dry eyes are caused by insufficient liver essence and blood.
Close your eyes and lower your qi method: Press your index finger lightly on the eyelid and rub your eyeballs slightly, and you will feel much more comfortable. You can also close your eyes and eliminate distracting thoughts.
Standing on tiptoes can nourish the kidneys
Standing on tiptoes is an aerobic exercise that not only promotes blood supply to the myocardium with enough oxygen, but also protects cardiovascular health, exercises calf muscles, and enhances ankle stability.
Walking on tiptoes: Stand on tiptoes, walk 30 to 100 steps each time, take a short break, and then repeat a few sets according to your physical condition.
The speed can be adjusted by yourself, so that you feel comfortable and relaxed. Initial practitioners can hold the wall, and they don’t need to use external objects after becoming proficient.
In addition, men can strengthen the kidneys by standing on tiptoes to urinate. When women sit and squat, they can put the first and second toes on the ground and stand on tiptoes, which can also have the effect of nourishing the kidneys and promoting diuresis.
