1, the water temperature should not be too high.
For many middle-aged and elderly people, the higher the water temperature, the better the actual effect of health care. This cognitive ability is wrong. Generally speaking, if people soak their feet in water with too high water temperature for a long time, although it will accelerate the metabolism of body sweat, too high water temperature will cause obvious damage to somatic cells on the skin surface of feet.
Excessive water temperature will continue to stimulate the blood circulation system of the foot, causing a certain burden and pressure on the capillaries of the foot. For people with soft foot skin, soaking feet with water with high ambient temperature is also easy to cause burns and blisters on foot skin.
If you want to achieve the purpose of health preservation by soaking your feet, you can generally keep the water temperature at about 40 degrees, which is not suitable for overheating.
2. The time is not suitable for too long
If you want to achieve the goal of health and wellness according to the method of soaking feet, the time period of soaking feet should also be adjusted. Many people will subjectively think that soaking feet for more than 30 minutes will have practical effect. This view has no scientific proof. It is not that the longer the soaking time, the better the health care effect.
Generally speaking, soak your feet with warm water 15 minutes before going to bed. If you soak your feet for too long, it will speed up the circulation of goods in your blood circulation system, which is not only not conducive to caring for your physical and mental health, but also may directly affect your normal sleep quality and make it difficult for you to sleep at night.
3. Soaking feet not only soaks the soles of the feet.
When many people soak their feet, the water level line is only above the soles of their feet or just above them. This method of soaking feet does not have a good health effect. Although the purpose of soaking feet is to stimulate the acupoints on the soles of feet, if only soaking feet, when the acupoints on the soles of feet are stimulated and blood keeps coming up, the capillaries in the calves are still tight, which will make people feel sore or tight when soaking feet.
Over time, it will also cause great working pressure on the capillaries in the calf, and even cause certain damage. When we soak our feet, we don't have to soak only the soles of our feet. We can put a few more drops of water and soak our calves at our feet.
