Actor Kim Young-ok (86) announced that she is climbing stairs and standing on tiptoes to improve her bone health.

 

On the 9th, during the broadcast of MBN's 'One More Check Time,' Kim Young-ok went to a cafe with her manager. After placing the order, the manager took the elevator, while Kim Young-ok climbed to the third floor via the stairs. Kim Young-ok stated, "I walk up to about the third floor," and "I exercise intermittently in daily life to maintain strong bones and live a long life." The manager, who took the elevator instead of the stairs, arrived later than Kim Young-ok, which also brought about some laughter.

 

Kim Young-ok said, "In my current apartment, I walk up to the 7th floor once or twice a week and then use the elevator," and "I not only climb stairs but also do tiptoe exercises while watching TV to maintain bone health." Let's learn about the benefits of the 'stair climbing' and 'tiptoe exercises,' which are the bone health management secrets of the oldest actress, Kim Young-ok.

Climbing stairs to prevent arthritis, avoiding overexertion is important

 

Climbing stairs consumes more energy than walking on flat ground, thereby increasing exercise effectiveness and improving cardiovascular function. It is also effective in strengthening lower body muscles, including the thighs. This helps increase overall muscle mass and prevent arthritis. Additionally, stair climbing is beneficial for increasing basal metabolic rate, enhancing endurance, and improving balance.

 

 

The advantage is that it does not require any special equipment like walking exercises and can be done anytime and anywhere. Climbing stairs should be done only until you start to sweat a little and can still converse comfortably. If your thighs or calves hurt or you become extremely short of breath, take a rest, and after resting for about 5 minutes walking on flat ground, resume climbing. When elderly or disabled individuals use stairs, they must hold onto the handrail and be accompanied by a guardian. If you have heart disease or anemia, it is better to avoid climbing stairs. Climbing stairs vigorously with weakened heart function can put strain on the heart. For anemia patients, climbing stairs may suddenly cause...

 

Shortness of breath or mental fog may occur. Anemia is a condition caused by a deficiency of red blood cells in the body, leading to decreased oxygen supply. If fatigue persists while climbing stairs, there is a risk of respiratory distress. Furthermore, mental fog can make falling easier.

 

 

Calf raise exercise that is good for building calf muscles and preventing varicose veins

 

The tiptoe position involves standing on tiptoe, keeping your back straight, and slowly raising and lowering your heels. This movement should be repeated for about 5 seconds. At this time, you must absolutely avoid letting your heels touch the ground. If your heels touch the ground, the effectiveness is reduced and it can instead shock the muscles and bones.

 

The tiptoe exercise is particularly effective for developing the calf muscles among lower body muscles. Strengthening the calf muscles can prevent the dilation of leg veins, thereby preventing the worsening of varicose veins. The calf muscles are called the "second heart" because they are a vital part of cardiovascular health and play a key role in blood circulation.

 

The calf muscles pump blood that has traveled down to the lower body. Near the calf muscles, veins gather, and the blood flow returning to the heart through these veins flows relatively weakly. The calf muscles need to contract and relax repeatedly to effectively push blood back to the heart. The calf muscles especially help prevent varicose veins, which cause the leg veins to bulge and become uneven.

 

=============

 

I watched this program last night.

This person's management is amazing.

They said osteoporosis was cured in six months.

It was a tail fracture last year.

Now, everything is fully cured.

 

It seems like you are also taking good care of your bone health.
