But what we didn't expect was its only remaining benefit. Let me give you a summary.
In fact, shaking your legs is good for your health. A recent study by the University of Missouri in the United States found that the casual movement of shaking legs can actually reduce the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The researchers selected two groups of healthy young people, one sitting quietly, the other shaking his legs at a certain frequency. After 3 hours, the blood vessels in the legs of the shaking group were much better than those in the static group. Researchers say that shaking legs can increase blood supply to legs and protect blood vessels, but it cannot replace exercise.
Although many people don't like people who love to shake their legs, some people think that people who shake their legs are frivolous and selfish, but Bian Xiao wants to tell you today that you will never think of the benefits of shaking your legs. Imagine what would happen if you were allowed to sit on a stool for hours without moving. The answer is yes, it will be stiff and numb. This is a manifestation of poor blood circulation and long-term oppression of nerves, so the benefits of shaking your legs come at this time.
Just as you need to stretch after sitting for a long time, shaking your legs can move the muscles and joints of your legs, make them contract and enhance the mobility of your joints. Proper shaking can also promote blood circulation and prevent thrombosis and varicose veins of lower limbs. In addition, if you are sleepy at work, shaking your legs can relieve some fatigue.
The leg-shaking family also summed up a wealth of "leg-shaking experience": shaking your legs when you are bored increases your interest; When depressed, shake and worry; When you are happy, shaking it can make you happier. Of course, most of our daily leg shaking occurs when we are anxious, questioning or highly nervous. At this time, shaking your legs is a way for the human body to release stress, which can effectively relieve tension and anxiety. Just as someone will subconsciously rub their hands and bite their nails when they are nervous, it is a kind of emotional release.
But there is a kind of leg trembling, which is not out of habit, but a disease called "leg trembling syndrome" or "restless leg syndrome". This is a central nervous system disease with genetic tendency. Patients often shake their legs irrepressibly, and feel uncomfortable without shaking, accompanied by ant-like walking feeling, burning pain and soreness, and the symptoms are aggravated at night, which seriously affects the normal life of patients.
After talking so much about the benefits of shaking your legs, you must not be too reckless. First, shaking your legs in public is really indecent, and it will also affect others; Secondly, shaking your legs is only a local exercise, and the intensity is not great. If you really want to keep fit, you need to exercise hard. Thirdly, shaking your legs has psychological dependence. Although it can relieve anxiety, it will become a psychological burden if you don't shake your legs. Therefore, shake your legs properly and pay attention to the degree on different occasions!
