Raising your legs is a simple move but has many health benefits. When the leg is lifted, blood will easily flow back to the heart, helping to circulate blood, supporting the liver and kidneys in the detoxification process. At the same time, this also stimulates the body to secrete hormones, improving detoxification and excretion.
Raising your heels also helps regulate breathing in the groin, reduce heart-brist pressure, relieve stress and support stable blood pressure. In this position, the spine is kept straight, the muscles of the whole body are relaxed, contributing to protecting the spine and preventing osteoarthritis.
How to do it: Lie flat on the bed (not too soft), bring your legs together, place your arms lightly on your lower abdomen. Raise your legs high and then bend your knees to create a 90-degree angle, feet facing the wall. Hold this pose for about 15 minutes.
Note, before and after exercising, you should drink a glass of warm water about 300 ml to support bowel movements. During the exercise, breathe naturally, do not hold your breath, keep your breathing relaxed and use the strength from your waist - footrest to increase pain relief and reduce fatigue in the lower body.
