We in China have always attached great importance to health care. We believe that the way of health care should vary from time to time, from place to place and from person to person. We should follow heaven and tunnel. Heaven and tunnels are natural ways. Man is the product of nature, so we should conform to the changes of nature and the heaven, that is, to the ups and downs of Yin and Yang in the four seasons, to the natural movement of all things, and to keep fit and rest. The authentic method is to examine the superiority of the terrain, the bias of yin and yang, the richness of five flavors, and nourish the form and spirit at the same time.

In addition, China's traditional theory of keeping in good health holds that the way of keeping in good health should conform to human nature and not violate the law of human growth and survival. We should raise our feet and hands, which are both ends of the human body, so that people will be healthy and live longer. Here, I will focus on soaking feet and raising feet.

You may have this question: Why do people in China pay special attention to washing their feet, while westerners especially like taking a bath? In fact, this is related to people's living habits. Foreigners like to eat big fish and meat. In the view of Chinese medicine, "fish makes a fire, and meat produces phlegm." This way of eating leads to heavy moisture in their bodies, and people with heavy moisture are generally fatter. So most westerners are fat, which is why westerners have so much hair. They want to use the catharsis of their hair to metabolize damp evil, but China people are different. They eat whole grains, but they eat whole grains. Therefore, there is not so much moisture in China's body, there are not so many fat people, and the body hair is not so serious. However, some people in China still like to eat meat, which makes them wet and obese. Therefore, we should follow the traditional diet in China and eat more whole grains, so as to be healthy.

Westerners are keen on taking a bath because they want to take a bath to solve the problem of excessive body discharge, while China people don't have to solve this problem, just take care of their bodies by washing their feet, because their feet are under great pressure every day, not only bearing the full weight of the human body, but also running around and being busy, so take good care of them; At the same time, the foot is a very special and important part of the human body. There are six meridians and more than 70 acupoints on the foot. If we take good care of it, our whole body will be great. Therefore, China people especially know how to raise their feet, and advocate soaking their feet every day and persevere.

In fact, washing feet in spring, summer, autumn and winter is the best, and different seasons have different functions. Washing feet in spring can "generate yang", that is to say, it can not only generate yang, but also avoid excessive dispersion; Washing feet in summer can dispel moisture and metabolize summer dampness, but it is better to pay attention to using warm water. Washing feet in autumn will moisten the human body, especially moisten the lungs; Soaking feet with hot water in winter can make our lower abdomen feel warm and make our body's qi and blood circulate smoothly. There are so many benefits to washing feet, so why not?
