What Is the Fifth Toe?

The toe is a Chinese vocabulary. The Chinese pinyin is jio zh, which is located at the forefront of the foot. It normally bends upward and forms an angle of 12 ° ~ 15 ° with the plane of the sole of the foot. During the movement, there is a forward movement, a downward pedaling, and a displacement to both sides.

Toes

Big toe: The thickest one, so it is called the big toe.

Two-toe: The second toe of the foot.

Three-toed: The third toe of the foot.

Secondary toe: Also known as the small toe secondary toe, the name of the body part, that is, the fourth toe of the foot. There is a corresponding record in "Lingshu · Jingjin": "foot

In order to make walking easier, the elasticity of the toes allows people to have more time and strength when walking or running, resulting in stronger power and helping to run faster. Toes have great flexibility during exercise. They mainly adjust the relationship between the metatarso toes and other parts of the foot to play a balancing role to adapt to the changes in the foot. It also has a stable effect on some sports. Toes are human or some animals

Human toes play no less important role in physiology than hands, which is very important in the research of chemistry. Most of the feet of modern people can only be used for walking, and the toes are only suitable for stable pace when walking. However, physiologically, the function of the toes is not static, and simple actions can be performed, or some functions of the hands can be replaced informally and slightly. The big thumb toe structure of human feet is more independent than the other toes, and it is the soul part of the foot and the center of gravity of the foot. Therefore, as long as it can cooperate with the toe (the second toe), it can make an action similar to that of the hand.

Toes are not structurally good for gripping, with some exceptions. Those who have lost their hands can develop the functions of their toes into the functions of their hands through subsequent training.

The tactile sensation between the toes and the toes is quite sharp. If you touch it, you can have a gripping response. If the toes are long enough, the function may not be as good as that of your hands.

Fingernails and toenails are attachments to the skin. They keep growing and protect hands and feet. According to the well-known South African health website "Health24", researchers have found that some substances in toenails can reflect human health, and if they grow too slowly, they also indicate some diseases.

A research team led by Dr. Weir of the University of California, USA, observed and tested the toenails of 62641 women and found that some of the contents of toenails are related to the incidence of hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease. Among them, 905 patients with confirmed heart disease had double their nicotine levels in their toenails, which was related to their smoking habits. The researchers analyzed that toenails grow more slowly than fingernails, and some of them are more stable and can be used as a measurement method.

In addition, researchers also pointed out that the growth rate of toenails is affected by health, seasons, and sports. Generally, it is faster during the day than at night, and faster in summer than in winter, with an average length of about 0.05 mm per day. People with slower toenails may be less active, and some trace elements may be inadequate, so they may be at higher risk for cardiovascular disease.

Poor maintenance of both feet can easily lead to various diseases. Because the toes are farthest from the heart, some people's hypertension is caused by microcirculation disorders in the toes or ankle joints, and even colds start from the feet. The Yongquan point in the center of the foot can not only exhaust turbid gas underground, but also absorb clear gas from underground.

People rarely move their toes consciously. Therefore, many diseases are caused by less toe activity, such as pain in the feet, numbness of the toes, sweating, corns, foot pads, heel pain, heel cracks, phlebitis, and varicose veins.

Exercise methods are as follows:

1. One leg is independent, the other leg is flat, and the lower leg naturally sags. With the ankle joint as the axis, the toes are tilted upwards, and at the same time, the feet are tilted upwards, and then pressed downwards to return upwards once. Repeat this action 16 times. Then change the other leg to stand on its own, flatten the other leg, and repeat the same action as above, or do several times on the left leg.

2. Swap the other leg independently, lift the other leg flat, the lower leg will naturally sag, take the ankle as the axis, kick the shuttlecock with the foot inward, and then turn outward and return to the inward turn once. Do this 16 times.

3. With the ankle joint as the axis, use the foot to rotate the foot inward 16 times.

4. The action is the same as above, just change the direction and rotate outward. After the independent stability is enhanced, you can do the first action and the second action together. With the exercise of independent movement, the stability will be stronger, you can do three movements or four movements together. With the increase of stability, you can also increase the forward or split pedal.

5. Choose shoes or insoles designed with scientific arches to allow the arches to be stressed at three points and reduce the reaction force from the human body on the ground, so that the toes have a comfortable growth space.
