Italian term or phrase: calcare la mano su qualcosa
Texte:
"E per finire, è stato dimostrato che questo stato di inattività abbia dei collegamenti con pressione alta, colesterolo in eccesso e con, pensa un po’, l’umore, eh sì, il nostro stato d’animo.
Ti ho voluto raccontare questo buffo e triste scenario, non per ****calcare la mano su**** possibili conseguenze di salute ma per chi, al contrario di quelle persone che vedono troppi difetti, non ne vede.
Se hai cinquant’anni e la pelle delle braccia cade, non è l’età è la mancanza di tonificazione.
Se hai sessant’anni e fai fatica a fare le scale, non è l’età, è solo il peso in eccesso."
