      The method of finger exercise is very simple. If done regularly, it will help smooth blood flow in the brain. This will not only strengthen the brain but also prevent the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease.

      1. Bend your little finger inward every morning, then pull it back, and repeat flexion and extension exercises 10 times.

      2. Use your thumb and index finger to grasp the center of the base of your little finger, and knead and stimulate this acupoint 10 times in the morning and evening.

      3. Press your little finger on the table and stimulate it with your hands repeatedly.

      4. Interlace the fingers of both hands, hold them firmly, and then suddenly pull them apart to give the muscles the necessary stimulation.

      5. Stimulate the center of the palm (palm), pinch 20 times each time, which not only helps blood circulation, but also promotes stability and self-discipline nerve efficient.

      6. Rub the tip of your middle finger often for 3 minutes each time, which is very good for blood circulation in the brain.
