Generally speaking, as you grow older, your body will harden, such as narrowing the range of motion of joints, reducing the amount of muscles, and failing to stretch tendons and ligaments.
Many young people ignore that their bodies harden prematurely.
How to judge whether your body is stiff? Today, practical yoga teaching teaches you a way to test the forward flexion of the sitting body: sit on the floor with your legs straight, your toes vertical to the floor, and try to touch your toes with your hands.
Generally speaking, if your hand can exceed the distance of 1 palm of your toes (1520 cm), it means that your body is soft enough; If you can only barely touch your toes, or the distance beyond your toes is less than 6.7 cm for women and less than 0.5 cm for men, according to the data of the 2010 National Physical Fitness Monitoring Bulletin, your body softness is only equivalent to that of an elderly person aged 6569.
What’s more terrible is that some people’s toes are too far away to touch at all.
Don’t underestimate this question.
The answer to this question has a lot to do with your health.
Judging whether a person’s body is soft enough, time not only steals our age, but also steals the softness of the body.
Softness and hardness are important signs of human youth and aging, health and unhealthy.
Realize that your body is hardening.
When you wake up every morning, you will feel that your whole body is hard, difficult to stretch, and even lazy to get up.
Soft and hard determine a person’s physical age.
Some people are in their 70s, but their whole body seems to be elastic, and their movements can maintain gentle continuity.
When walking, they swing their arms and stride widely, which makes them look heroic.
Many young people in their 20s lack continuity when walking, and their limbs are very stiff.
They often stoop and can’t even keep the upright position for a long time.
Six hazards of rigidity the main reason for modern people’s rigidity is lack of exercise.
Exercise is not only physical exercise in the general sense, but also various muscle and joint activities.
Modern people go out with cars instead of walking, and go home with washing machines and vacuum cleaners.
It is difficult for the body to get full activity.
If muscles are not used frequently, their working range will continue to shrink and become hardened, rigid and aging.
Stiffness will at least bring the following hazards to the body: 1 Easy to be injured.
When the thigh muscle hardens, first, it will increase the load of the knee joint, which is easy to cause knee pain and movement disorder; The second is to make the related psoas major muscle and femoral joint movement difficult, so that people can’t walk and are easy to fall.
Gobo said that at the moment of falling, if the body is flexible, it will respond quickly and will not cause too much damage.
But people with stiff bodies can cause more serious injuries and even fractures.
2.
Physical pain many young people often have low back pain, shoulder and neck pain, which is closely related to the stiffness of the body.
Hardening of the body can lead to slow blood circulation and cold body.
Touching those painful parts is usually cold and hard.
3.
Fear of cold.
About 40% of the heat of the human body is produced by muscles.
When muscles decline, harden and blood circulation worsens, the amount of heat generated will be reduced, resulting in hypothermia.
4.
Frequent fatigue.
When the muscle hardens, the capillaries distributed in it will also harden, resulting in the failure of normal blood flow.
An important role of blood circulation is to transport nutrients and oxygen and recover waste materials that lead to fatigue and fatigue in the body.
If the blood circulation function becomes worse, the body is easy to feel tired.
5.
Weight gain the energy and fat consumed by the human body need to be burned through muscle exercise.
Once the muscle is stiff and unable to move fully, it will lead to the decline of metabolic function and the accumulation of fat.
6.
Rough skin.
When muscles or blood vessels harden, it will also affect the blood circulation of the skin, resulting in dryness, spots, dullness, wrinkles, relaxation and other problems on the face.
