However, due to work, we usually sit for long periods of time and work at our desks, and we don’t have much opportunity to exercise. If this continues for a long time, the body’s own metabolic level will gradually decline.

In addition, high-intensity work and pressure make the body and mind exhausted, and the brain nerves are in a tense state for a long time, which is also an important factor leading to slow blood circulation and poor peripheral circulation, which in turn causes cold hands and feet.

During the exercise, the muscles and bones of the whole body can be stretched well, the blood circulation of the whole body can be faster, and the circulation of qi and blood can be promoted. It is very helpful for warming the whole body and expelling the cold. Therefore, the feet can warm up quickly during the exercise.
