When it comes to losing weight, it can be as challenging as a "Long March," and few people can stick to it. Especially when it comes to exercising for weight loss, although this method is good, many people cannot stick to it. Below, I will teach you the simplest weight loss method - foot massage weight loss method.
Method 1: Tapping the soles of the feet
Every night before bed, use your fists to tap the soles of your feet. This can eliminate fatigue, promote blood circulation throughout the body, enhance the detoxification function of the internal organs, ensure smooth excretion of blood vessels, and accelerate fat burning.
Method: Tap the soles of the feet rhythmically, focusing on the center of the foot. Tap each foot about 100 times, for a total of about 2 minutes.
Method 2: Shake both feet
If the overall blood circulation is poor, it can lead to dysfunction of internal organs and endocrine disorders. This can result in the accumulation of toxins in the body, slow metabolism, and obesity. Simple local stimulation of the feet can promote blood circulation and accelerate metabolism.
Method: Lie on your back on the bed or floor, first let both feet shake in the air, and then rotate them as if pedaling a bicycle. Continue for 2 minutes to improve blood circulation, burn fat, and help improve sleep.
Method 3: Walking barefoot
The biggest advantage of this method is that it provides an opportunity to exercise the palms, which is an important part of maintaining balance during massage. During walking, try to stimulate the palms as much as possible. You can try walking on a pebble road or prepare a mat with rounded protrusions at home.
Method: Separating the toes is also a major advantage of walking barefoot. For the purpose of weight loss and physical health, try to free your feet from shoes and socks as much as possible and walk barefoot at home. Hold for 2 minutes.
Method 4: Massage the toes
Massaging the toes not only helps with weight loss but also enhances memory.
Method: You can use both hands to hold the big toes and massage them in a circular motion. Massage several times a day for about 2 minutes each time. You can also use your hands to rub the outer side of the little toe in a circular motion. Since memory is related to the cerebellum, and the little toe is the reflex area of the cerebellum, massaging the little toe helps enhance memory. Massage for 2 minutes.
Method 5: Rubbing the feet
Rub the feet together to promote blood circulation and enhance the detoxification and fat-burning effects within a short period of time.
Method: Lie on your back on the bed or floor, lift your feet and rub them against each other. It is more effective if you rub them with both hands at the same time. Rub vigorously about 20 times, for about 2 minutes. This method also helps with sleep.
Precautions for foot massage:
Soak both feet in hot water for 15 minutes before foot massage, or use a hot towel to wash to enhance the effectiveness. The temperature in the massage room should be maintained at 24°C to 25°C, and the room should be relatively closed without airflow. It is not suitable to do foot massage when overly full or hungry, and it is not suitable to do it half an hour before a meal or within an hour after a meal.
During foot massage, there are five reflex zones that need to be strengthened at the beginning or end of the massage: the first reflex zone is the abdominal nerve; the second reflex zone is the spleen; the third reflex zone is the kidneys; the fourth reflex zone is the ureter; and the fifth reflex zone is the bladder.
When massaging the feet, flexible techniques should be used. When pressing on a certain area, moderate and continuous stimulation should be applied. It is best to have a normal tenderness. The most sensitive part in the reflex zone should be the focus. When there is a disease in the internal organs, there may be a tingling sensation in the corresponding reflex zone of the feet.
Patients with bleeding tendencies or blood disorders may experience local tissue bleeding during foot massage treatment. Female patients should avoid stimulating the reproductive gland reflex zone during menstruation. When doing foot massage, avoid the bony protrusions and areas with less subcutaneous tissue to avoid unnecessary injury to the bone membrane.
Patients should drink 300-500ml of warm water within half an hour after the massage. This is beneficial for the circulation of qi and blood, and it can achieve a good massage effect. Patients who receive foot massage for a long time often experience dull pain in their feet. Soaking the feet in salt water for half an hour can increase sensitivity to pain and improve the treatment effect.
