    This exercise is taken from Baduanjin qigong, which is over 2,000 years old. It's the last of the eight exercises. You slowly raise your heels all the way, but you do not drop back down until until you slowly lower yourself half way so you're not slamming your heels on the ground with excessive force. There's no need to put your hands behind your back. They are traditionally held at your sides, and there's no need to do it for several minutes. Seven iterations is recommended by the Chinese Health Qigong Association.

      Every variation has a different purpose. Qi gong has different versions and a tiny variation serves a different purpose such as leaning a little bit forward, position your hands or fingers at a certain ankle. I've been doing this for years, dropping my heels wherever I have to stand and never has osteoporosis or osteopenia. The point is to do it daily and for at least half an hour.

      @@happyday868 May I ask where the prescription for a half an hour practice comes from? That seems like a LOT of time for this one exercise. It's not excessive? In other words, there's enough, not enough and too much of any exercise. Also, sometimes, the length of time can vary depending on the individual.

    If you slap the bottom of your feet, about as hard as when you are clapping, when you are putting on your socks it stimulates the nerves in your feet and helps your entire body "wake up". Up and down 4 times. If you take the time to give yourself a good foot massage with your favorite lotion every night before you go to bed you will sleep better. Doing that relaxes the muscles and nerves in your feet which helps relax your entire body. I also soak my feet in Epsom salt (1 cup)/vinegar (1/4 to 1/2 cup) in water that just covers my toes as warm as I can stand it for at least 20 minutes a couple times a week before hand then spend 3-5 minutes rubbing my lavender/ylang ylang lotion into each foot. Self-care is one of the most important things we can do for ourselves.

If there is anything left after 5 minutes wipe your feet gently with a kitchen dishcloth that you use expressly for that purpose. I keep a stack of the cheapest ones I can find on hand to use for cleaning around the house because it's cheaper than keeping paper towels around. I also wipe down my hands if there is still lotion left when I'm done. You might try an oil too. Baby oil might work for you, just a little goes a long way, and there are different aromas available now too. Wipe your feet down after. Any of the oils used for massage are an option as well.

    I formally studied chi gung for several years with my Taiwanese sifu who learned directly from masters both in China and Taiwan. This is a movement from the chi gung exercise 8 Pieces Of Brocade. Although I did not know about the calf muscle info, the main idea imparted was the concussive manner of the heels hitting the floor. Concussive exercises are a significant part of Chinese medicine and also for martial arts training. And yes, in Oriental medicine, strong legs equals strong heart. Thank you, sir.

    A Chinese acupuncturist told me that osteoporosis is so common among Western women because they give birth with no rebuilding of the body afterwards. The traditional Chinese woman will spend a month (or more?) recuperating, eating especially nutritious foods, in order to replenish the body for all the things that the baby has been feeding on, and that is why osteoporosis is so rare in China.

      @@brianedwardsu7404 Ok here's what I know, it's surface-level but it might serve as a starting point for research:
      - The lymphatic system - that moves around the liquid your cells bathe in (that liquid and its "freshness" is important for cells to receive the nutrients they need, and for them to get rid of cellular waste) doesn't have a "pump", that would act on it the way the heart acts on blood. Rather, lymph only circulates due to muscular activity that acts on lymphatic channels. Since the calves have strong muscles, that are often activated and are at the lower end of the body, they're one of the most crucial muscle sets for lymph circulation, they kinda send it back up.

      @@brianedwardsu7404 The lymphatic system is involved in cancer spread and its cure, because, as I understand (?) it serves as a channel through which cancer cells can go from the primary site to other sites, where they metastasize. When, say, breast cancer is found, doctors will often seek out associated lymph nodes that look like they've been affected by the cancer through imagery, and remove them in surgery (not in all cases though).
      There's also a holistic medicine theory that breast cancer is caused/facilitated by lymphatic stagnation, itself caused by bras, because bras cut off lymphatic circulation. That theory isn't official or agreed upon. However, statistically, in countries where women don't wear bras, they have the same rate of breast cancer as men have (from memory, I think it's under 1%).

      Lymphatic system and ketosis: for context, we're talking about ketosis as a desirable state that people who fast want to get to and stay in, it's a whole thing. Ketosis is basically a metabolic "mode", I'm pretty sure you could spend your entire life researching it. There's another concept called ketoacidosis, that's a dangerous state that diabetics can get into, it's not what I'm talking about.
      There's a science-minded fasting influencer (I think it was Thomas DeLauer, but I might be wrong here) who mentioned in a video that people who fast but have a hard time getting into ketosis might be having that issue because their lymphatic system isn't stimulated enough. (3/3)

    Pressure on the ball of the foot stimulates kidney energy. The energy that rises. According to the Chinese, the ankle contains the second pump that increases energy, blood and other fluids (return flow to the heart). The pressure on the heel causes the declining energy. The exercise is done to strengthen the immune system. The exercise is repeated 8 times or a multiple of that. Physically (Western) it naturally strengthens the musculature (calves) and the lympfe flow. The pressure on the ball of the foot also restricts the mobility of the neck. And indeed, the exercise should be done on a soft surface.
