Many people like to soak their feet with hot water in cold winter, which makes them feel warm and comfortable. It is precisely because the feet are soaked in hot water and affected by high temperature that the blood vessels in the feet dilate and more blood flows back to the feet, which may endanger the health of some people. So there are five kinds of people who are not suitable for soaking feet.

First, diabetics.

After diabetic neuropathy and angiopathy, the feeling of temperature, pain and vibration in hands and feet will become more and more ineffective. Normal people will feel very hot water, but they can't, so it's easy to soak their feet with overheated water, causing burns. Moreover, once the diabetic foot is burned, if it is not handled properly, it may lead to foot infection, ulceration, and severe amputation.

Second, patients with varicose veins or thrombosis

People with varicose feet soak their feet with hot water, and the temperature of their feet rises, which makes blood vessels dilate and accelerate the deterioration of blood vessels. After soaking your feet in hot water, you will feel swollen and heavy. Therefore, patients with varicose veins should pause when soaking their feet, lift their legs to help blood return, and then continue to soak until they are relieved.

Third, patients with heart disease and low blood pressure.

Patients with heart disease or hypotension may feel dizzy at ordinary times. Soaking feet in hot water for too long may lead to cardio-cerebral ischemia and hypoxia, and increase the risk of illness.

Children before the age of four or seven

Before school, children's expression ability or tolerance for hot water is not as good as that of adults. Maybe adults think the temperature is right, but it may burn children, but the expression is not clear, so it is still not suitable for children to soak their feet before the age of 7.

Five, too hungry and too full

Too hungry to soak your feet. Hot water can speed up the whole body blood circulation and make people dizzy. Don't soak your feet within half an hour after a meal, so as not to affect the blood supply to your stomach and cause indigestion.

Note that it is advisable to soak your feet for 30 minutes each time, because the blood return and heart rate will accelerate after soaking your feet, and too long will increase the burden on your heart. Don't fall asleep. You have a cold. Besides mastering the time, we should also pay attention to avoid falling asleep easily. In winter, the temperature of cold water drops rapidly, so it is necessary to soak in cold water for a long time to prevent colds.
