Amazing ‘Push-up Laurus’ effect, which lifts and releases heels while sitting
According to the 2015 national health statistics, men spend an average of 8 hours a day and women spend an average of 7.8 hours a day sitting. All age groups of adults in their 20s and older answered that they spend more than 7 hours in a sedentary life after waking up. A long-term sedentary life is dangerous. This is because it can cause various diseases, such as putting a burden on the spine and pelvis, causing metabolic syndrome such as obesity, and causing cardiovascular disease due to reduced blood vessel function.
Not long ago, the website of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) presented a sitting exercise that researchers at the University of Houston published in the international academic journal ‘iScience’. Dr Marc Hamilton, professor of health and human performance at the University of Houston, presents the ‘push up the floxus’. “No one has ever studied how to use the sole for health.”
Where is the flounder?
The soleus muscle is a muscle inside the calf. The calf muscle protrudes in two bulges at the back of the knee and extends to the Achilles tendon, and the broad muscle that extends from the inside to the inside of the heel bone is r soleus muscle. It got its name from the flat shape attached to the calf which resembles a flipper. The calf muscles affect the movement of the ankle and knee joints, and the soleus muscle is closely related to foot circulation and fatigue.
The soleus muscle is also known as the ‘second muscle of the heart’ because it plays a role in pumping blood from the lower extremities back to the heart. Using a lot of soleus muscle improves blood circulation. If you lift your heels while standing, your calf muscles will get stronger, and if you sit and lift your heels, your soles will get stronger. A ‘floccus thrust’ is a repetition of sitting and lifting the heel and then slowly lowering the entire sole of the foot. At this point, spread your legs moderately and place your heels behind your knees.
Reduces postprandial blood sugar levels by 52% and insulin requirements by 60%
Researchers at the University of Houston gave 15 participants a glucose drink and then asked them to do ‘push-ups’ for three hours. After exercise, participants’ postprandial blood sugar levels dropped by 52% and their insulin requirements by 60%. In particular, when exercising on an empty stomach, the rate of fat metabolism was twice as high, leading to a significant reduction in blood fat and lower cholesterol levels.
Dr said. Hamilton, “If you do other muscle exercises, you tire quickly and there is a restriction. But the ‘slap push’ can be done for hours without tiring.” During muscle exercise, we usually use glycogen in muscle cells or liver as an energy source, because during soleus muscle exercise, blood glucose and fat are used as energy sources instead of glycogen.
Professor Hamilton said, “There is no drug with a better oxidative metabolism than this.” “Exercise by moving the soleus muscle, which is only 1% of body weight, can double and sometimes even triple the oxidation of carbohydrates.”
