Living to be a hundred years old is probably the greatest wish in everyone's heart, but aging and death are natural laws that no one can break. However, today I want to give you a health benefit - stimulating these 5 areas can actually increase your lifespan!
1. Massage the chest to enhance the body's immune system
Scientists have discovered that the thymus in the chest is one of the most important immune organs in the human body's entire immune system. The immune active substances secreted by the thymus can monitor abnormal cells in the body and mercilessly eliminate them. At the same time, it has the function of resisting infection and disease, and also has a certain role in delaying aging. Rubbing the chest with your palms up and down every day, from the acupoint above the mustache to the acupoint below the heart, about 100 to 200 times, can activate the thymus and play a role in preventing disease, improving fitness, and prolonging life.
2. Massage the spine to nourish the body's organs
The spine is an area that health experts pay great attention to. It is the place where the governor vessel, one of the two largest meridians in the human body, passes through. The relationship between the meridians on both sides of the spine and the internal organs is very close. Regularly massaging the spine can stimulate the smooth flow of meridians, promote the circulation of qi and blood, nourish the body's organs, and improve fitness.
3. Massage the armpits to promote blood circulation
The armpits are the areas with the most blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and nerves. The secret behind its fitness benefits is that it can make people laugh when stimulated. Laughing can exercise all organs, promote blood circulation, and allow organs to fully exchange nutrients and oxygen, benefiting the brain, heart, and lungs. That's why experts call it the "armpit exercise".
4. Massage the soles of the feet for disease prevention and longevity
There are more than 70 acupoints and 6 meridians on the soles of the feet. Scientists also believe that the soles of the feet have thousands of peripheral nerves that are closely connected to the brain and heart, as well as various organs in the body. That's why the feet are called the "second heart" of the body, highlighting the importance of foot health. Bending the toes, walking, stepping on pebbles, soaking feet in warm water, etc., can all promote blood flow in the feet, pushing the blood towards the heart and the whole body, regulating the balance of yin and yang, preventing and treating diseases, and improving fitness and longevity.
5. The navel
The navel is often regarded as a "fortress" for health. The navel is a vital acupoint in traditional Chinese medicine, and it is commonly used to treat angina pectoris, indigestion, and other diseases. Regularly massaging the navel has a preventive and therapeutic effect on strokes, and can promote health and prolong life.
