1, what are the misunderstandings of female pedicure?
Myth 1: Pedicure can be done at any time.
It is best to do pedicure after meals 1 hour. Drink 300 ~ 500ml warm water within half an hour after massage, and don't drink tea, wine or other drinks. Because the blood vessels in the foot dilate, the blood volume increases, and the blood in the gastrointestinal tract and viscera decreases, which affects the digestive function of the gastrointestinal tract. Foot bath before meals may inhibit the secretion of gastric juice, which is not conducive to digestion; Foot bath immediately after meals will reduce the blood volume of gastrointestinal tract and affect digestion.
Myth 2: Pedicure is suitable for everyone
Pedicure has a long history in China, and it can cure diseases by stimulating the reflex zone of the foot. Even so, people still have many misunderstandings about pedicure, and not everyone can do pedicure.
During menstruation, women had better not massage. People with bleeding tendency may cause local tissue bleeding during foot massage.
When massaging, you should avoid the bone process and the reflection area with less subcutaneous tissue, so as to avoid crushing the periosteum and causing unnecessary damage. In addition, people with high blood pressure and heart disease and pregnant women had better not have foot massage to prevent accidents, especially pregnant women. Improper massage may lead to miscarriage.
Myth 3: The longer the foot massage time, the better.
In fact, the human body has a certain tolerance to any stimulus, and excessive use often backfires. Generally, the time of foot massage is controlled at about forty or fifty minutes. If the time is too long, the joints, ligaments and soft tissues of the human body are easily damaged. In addition, the number of pedicures is not as much as possible. Usually, health pedicure can be done once or twice a week.
Myth 4: The greater the intensity of foot massage, the better.
Many people think that the heavier the foot massage, the better. Often when doing foot massage, the masseur should press harder. As everyone knows, if the massage is too heavy, the loss will outweigh the gain.
Moderate foot massage can prolong life and be beneficial to health, but everything should be moderate, not too much. Foot massage is mainly divided into two parts, the first is foot bath, which is foot massage, and then foot massage.
Foot massage takes up the most time and is the most effective in pedicure. Among them, strength is an important factor to achieve curative effect. If the intensity is too small, it will have no effect, otherwise it will be unbearable.
Foot massage should use different strengths according to different people, not just more strength. Therefore, people with weak endurance should exert moderate and even force according to the range that the body can bear. The so-called moderation refers to the principle that the massage place feels sore, that is, "getting angry." The so-called uniformity means that the intensity of massage should be gradually infiltrated and lifted slowly, with a certain rhythm, not fast and slow, sometimes light and sometimes heavy.
Myth 5: I can.
For the sake of hygiene and convenience, many people will choose to do pedicure at home or massage with a foot bath. Pedicure can only be effective through a certain amount of strength, and the massage place is not allowed and will not be effective, so it still needs professional people to do it.
If you want a pedicure at home, you might as well buy a wooden bucket and soak your feet before going to bed. You can choose a big, high and deep bucket, so you can completely soak your calves in water when soaking your feet, which is more comfortable.
When massaging, you should avoid the bone process and the reflection area with less subcutaneous tissue, so as to avoid crushing the periosteum and causing unnecessary damage. In addition, people with high blood pressure and heart disease and pregnant women had better not have foot massage to prevent accidents, especially pregnant women. Improper massage may lead to miscarriage.
Myth 6: Ten minutes a week is enough to stay healthy.
Although this view or similar statement is common, it is not correct. Remember: there is no shortcut to health. If you want to be healthy, you need to keep exercising. This is the only correct way.
Usually the standard of pedicure exercise is to exercise 3-5 times a week for 20-30 minutes each time. However, persistence is the key. It doesn't matter if you don't exercise for a day or two. Don't try to make up for it by doubling your exercise, because it can easily damage your health.
Many people think that only high-end people can enjoy pedicure. Actually, it is not. Pedicure can also be done by yourself. As long as the method is proper, the comfort obtained will not be bad.
2. What are the benefits of pedicure for women?
1, promoting blood circulation. Generally speaking, body temperature is closely related to blood circulation. When the body temperature is low, the blood circulation is low, and when the body temperature is high, the blood circulation is also vigorous. Soaking feet with hot water can improve the blood circulation of feet, and the warming effect of water can dilate the blood vessels of feet and raise the skin temperature, thus promoting the blood circulation of feet and whole body; At the same time, hot foot bath also increases the blood flow rate and flow rate of the foot, thus improving the heart function and reducing the heart load.
2. Promote metabolism. This is one of several benefits of female foot bath health care. Hot foot bath promotes blood circulation of feet and whole body. Due to the increase of blood circulation, regulating endocrine glands to secrete various hormones, such as thyroid hormone secreted by thyroid gland and adrenal hormone secreted by adrenal gland, can promote metabolism.
3. Eliminate fatigue. When the human body is tired, the blood circulation of the foot is poor, and substances such as metabolic end products, calcium salts and lactic acid microcrystals are deposited first. When an organ of the human body is abnormal or sick, due to the influence of pathological reflection, the blood circulation of the foot is worse and deposits are more likely to be produced.
4. Improve sleep. The foot is rich in nerve endings and capillaries. Soaking feet with hot water has a mild and good stimulating effect on nerves and capillaries. This kind of warm stimulation is reflected in the cerebral cortex, which has an inhibitory effect on the cerebral cortex and is the smooth transformation from excited sympathetic nerve to parasympathetic nerve. After the parasympathetic nerve is excited, people are in a state of quiet rest, thus improving sleep and eliminating insomnia.
5, health and beauty, brain health and brain protection. Through hot foot bath, you can regulate meridians and qi and blood. At the same time, the blood vessels in the foot dilate and the blood volume increases, thus accelerating the blood flow in the head and supplementing the oxygen and nutrition needed by the brain in time.
