Although there are many benefits of soaking feet, it is not suitable for everyone. Reminder: these four types of people try to soak their feet as little as possible.
1 class: patients with hypertension
Because soaking feet will speed up blood circulation, increase the speed of blood flow, and exert greater pressure on the blood vessel wall, leading to an increase in blood pressure. However, patients with hypertension themselves need to control their blood pressure. At this time, soaking feet will lead to an increase in blood pressure, thus inducing diseases such as stroke.
Type II: Varicose veins
Most people with varicose veins are caused by vascular diseases, such as vascular blockage, vascular wall sclerosis and so on. Soaking feet will increase the blood flow speed, especially the venous pressure, which will lead to more serious varicose veins.
The third category: diabetic patients.
Why can't diabetics soak their feet? This is due to the complications of diabetic patients, because diabetic patients will have microangiopathy more or less, which will reduce the sensitivity of nerves and thus reduce the sensitivity of feet to temperature. Therefore, it is best for diabetic patients to have their families test the water temperature when soaking their feet.
The fourth category: gout patients.
Gout hurts terribly, so many people will use hot compress to compress the joints, thinking that this can promote blood circulation. In fact, gout is not caused by congestion, but uric acid precipitates at joints, causing damage to joints and blood vessels, thus causing irritation. Therefore, when soaking feet, it will increase the pressure on blood vessels, which will lead to the more painful it is.
Although soaking feet has many advantages, not everyone can try it. If you belong to patients with hypertension, varicose veins, diabetes and gout, try not to soak your feet, so as not to aggravate your condition.
