I recently read a research article that suggested
that people that have Achilles tendon injuries
have problems with their hearts later on. Can
you explain the connection with that? Yeah, so
the calf muscles or the lower leg which connect
to the Achilles tendon is considered kind of
like the second heart of the body. Obviously,
we have our main heart in our chest. But the
same way the blood has to go out into the system
or into the body to reach different tissues,
whether it's your muscles, your organs, or even,
who knows, like a ligament of some sort, that
same blood has to come back, right? And so the
way the lower leg or the calf and the Achilles
work, they work as a pump, right? So the heart
is a pump. You can watch this video on Rumble,
YouTube, Apple, Spotify, Amazon, and many other
