This easy self-massage exercise will give you instant energy, says acupuncturist Jeff Zimmerman, OMD, of Westport, Connecticut. When seated, use your thumb to massage the center area of the foot that is slightly depressed and just below the ball of the foot (but before the arch). Called the “bubbling spring,” this acupuncture point stimulates the kidneys, promoting the flow of body fluids which, in turn, revitalizes energy. After massaging each foot for about 10 to 30 seconds, stand up. You won’t believe how energized you feel.
