Soaking feet is a very popular fitness method, but not all people and occasions are suitable for soaking feet:
1, don't soak your feet before and after meals, don't be too full, too hungry or eat, because foot massage will speed up the blood circulation of the whole body, which is prone to dizziness and discomfort. It is not advisable to soak your feet within half an hour after a meal, which will affect the blood supply to your stomach.
2, special people soak their feet for a long time and cause syncope. It is no problem for healthy people to soak their feet in hot springs, but special people should pay attention. For example, patients with heart disease and cardiac insufficiency, people with low blood pressure and frequent dizziness should not soak their feet with too hot water or soak in hot springs for a long time. Because soaking feet in hot water or soaking in hot springs will dilate blood vessels, and the whole body blood will flow from important organs to the body surface, which will inevitably lead to ischemia and hypoxia in important organs such as the heart and brain. For people with heart disease and low blood pressure, it will increase the risk of illness.
3. Diabetic patients should pay attention to the water temperature. Diabetic patients should pay special attention to the water temperature, because the peripheral nerves of these patients can't sense the external temperature normally, even if the water temperature is high, they can't feel it, and they are easy to burn, which will lead to very serious consequences.
4, athlete's foot, foot injury athlete's foot patients, when the condition is serious enough to blister, it is not appropriate to use hot water to soak the feet, because it is easy to cause wound infection. Foot inflammation, dermatosis, trauma or skin burn are not easy to soak.
5, the elderly should not soak their feet for too long. If they soak their feet for too long, they will cause symptoms such as sweating and palpitation. Therefore, it is better for the elderly to soak their feet for 20 minutes before going to bed every day.
6, infants and young children do not need to soak their feet. Children are "the body of pure yang", prone to fever and love fire. If you soak your feet in hot water and sweat again, you will get hot. Especially for infants, the feeling of temperature is different from that of adults. Adults think the water temperature is a little hot, which is already very hot for children. But they are not very expressive, so it is easy to burn the soft skin. From this point of view, it is not recommended to soak your feet with hot water. Just wash your feet with warm water every day. After washing, you can gently pinch your feet and relax your muscles.
