Calcium can affect digestion and sleep, causing inconvenience to daily life and work. However, sometimes the lack of calcium is not due to insufficient calcium, but because calcium has not flowed to the places where it is really needed. So the key is to let calcium flow to the right places. Traditional Chinese medicine teaches you to massage the acupoint "Dadu" to supplement calcium!
【Harm Caused by Calcium Deficiency】
1. Osteoporosis
When women lack calcium, the density and quality of their bones will greatly decrease, leading to frequent pain in the heels, lumbar and cervical pain, decreased height, loose teeth, hunched back, and difficulty in walking. All these are caused by calcium deficiency.
2. Digestive Problems
Calcium deficiency also has a great impact on the digestive system. People lacking calcium often experience constipation, loss of appetite, or gastrointestinal ulcers.
3. Poor Mental Health
After women lack calcium, they often feel very tired, drowsy, and weak. Even after calcium deficiency, the complexion becomes unsightly, and people are prone to irritability, anger, and poor mental state. Resistance decreases, making them prone to illness, and the whole person appears sickly.
4. Poor Sleep
After calcium deficiency, the quality of sleep is greatly reduced. There may be insomnia, frequent dreams, and leg cramps during sleep.
5. More Weight Gain During Weight Loss
In order to shape a beautiful figure, some people may excessively diet, but in doing so, they may miss out on many high-calcium foods. This is also why some people gain more weight during weight loss. In fact, calcium has the function of inhibiting "fat-storing hormones". The calcium content determines whether the energy in your body is burned and released or stored as fat. In other words, during the process of dieting, if you do not consume enough calcium that "inhibits fat", the fat will be difficult to burn off.
A high-calcium diet can increase the rate of fat metabolism by 1.4 times. Lactic acid calcium has the greatest effect on fat metabolism, so milk is a good choice. In fact, calcium metabolism and human fat metabolism are complementary to each other. Insufficient intake of unsaturated fatty acids can also reduce the body's ability to absorb calcium. Calcium is the secret to your weight loss success, so don't give up on delicious food and fail to achieve your weight loss goals.
【Massage Technique to Supplement Calcium at Dadu Acupoint】
The Dadu acupoint is located on the side of our big toe, near the root and the base of the big toe. It is an acupoint with a strong sensation, and its location is easy to find.
Every night, soak your feet in hot water for 20 minutes, then vigorously massage the Dadu acupoint with your thumb 50 times.
Massage the Dadu and Shangqiu acupoints on the Spleen Meridian for 3 minutes each day. After 3 days, leg cramps will disappear.
In addition, people with cervical spondylosis should also regularly rub the Dadu acupoint and massage the most painful point next to this acupoint. Combining these treatments can produce better results.
