WALK WALK WALK

 *Did you know ?* ▪️Both  the   legs together  have  50%   of the   nerves    of   the  human  body,  50%   of  the   blood  vessels  and  50%  of   the   blood   is flowing  through   them. *Walk* ▪️ It  is  the  largest  circulatory  network  that connects  the   body.  *So Walk daily* ▪️Only when  the feet are  healthy then  the convention current  of blood  flows ,  smoothly,   so people who  have  strong  leg muscles  will  definitely have  a strong  heart. *Walk* ▪️Aging  starts  from  the  feet  upwards. *Walk* ▪️As  a   person  gets older, the  accuracy & speed  of  transmission  of instructions   between the  brain and   the  legs decreases, unlike  when a  person  is  young. *Please Walk* ▪️In   addition,   the   so-called   Bone  Fertilizer Calcium will  sooner  or later  be  lost  with  the passage  of  time,  making  the   elderly  more  prone  to   bone fractures.  *WALK* ▪️Bone  fractures  in  the  elderly   can  easily  trigger  a  series   of complications, especia
