How long is it appropriate for the elderly to soak their feet for health care?
Recently, many friends learned from variety shows and interviews with different stars that soaking feet is not only for health, but also for stovepipe. Presumably, many friends rushed to buy a foot bath bucket to soak their feet. Do you know some precautions for soaking feet? I soak my feet every day. What do you know about soaking feet?

Good foot bath health care benefits: help the body's blood circulation and regulate body functions.

When winter comes, many people will feel cold hands and feet. It is often said that cold begins with the feet. It can be seen that it is very important to keep warm with multiple feet. Because there are many acupoints and veins on the foot, the foot is also called the second heart. Soaking feet can be said to be the key to health, which can not only promote blood circulation, but also regulate the body. Especially in winter, people with cold feet can soak their feet every night. After running, they will feel relaxed and their feet will always be warm.

Benefit 2: It helps to sleep and prevent diseases.

Many acupoints on the feet are related to human nerves. For friends who have the habit of insomnia, soaking their feet and sweating every night can not only relieve the fatigue of running around with their feet all day, but also relax the nervous spirit of the day. So it is easy to find the feeling of sleeping at this time, and it is also easy to fall asleep.

How much do you know about soaking feet? 1, the best time for soaking feet is 20-30 minutes.

Many people think that since soaking feet is for health, it is better to soak for a while. In fact, the foot bath time should not be too long, generally about half an hour, and the foot bath time for the elderly is 20 minutes. It is best to soak your feet one hour after meals or before going to bed.

2. The temperature of soaking feet is not as high as possible.

Most people misunderstand the temperature of soaking feet, thinking that the hotter the water, the more effective it is. The temperature of foot bath water is about 43 degrees, and the highest temperature should not exceed 45 degrees. When the water is cold, you can add some hot water, and the water level is slightly hot. Too high water temperature will not only soak feet, but also easily cause skin burns.

3. Replenish your body with water in time after soaking your feet.

You sweat when you soak your feet. Generally, your feet will get hot all over, and you will feel soaked when you sweat. It is best not to exceed half an hour, so as not to sweat too much and make people weak. Therefore, drink plenty of water and warm water after soaking your feet, and replenish the water that your body lacks in time. It is worth noting that don't soak your feet on an empty stomach, otherwise people will be dizzy and feel uncomfortable.

Soaking feet can be done all year round, and it is also a very convenient way to keep fit. I suggest you soak your feet more, especially for women with cold body. As the old saying goes, "the rich take tonic and the poor soak their feet", it can be seen that soaking their feet is still very beneficial to their health, but we should also soak our feet reasonably and scientifically according to our own situation. I hope what I said above is helpful to you.
