Soaking feet is a popular way to keep fit. Many people have developed the habit of soaking their feet with hot water or traditional Chinese medicine before going to bed. Many stars also like to soak their feet. Recently, Karry soaked his feet in a variety show, but the way he soaked his feet was somewhat different. He soaked his feet in hot water with plastic bags, but I didn't know he soaked them with plastic bags. Soon, a health care expert came out and said that Karry's foot-soaking method was ineffective for health care and was easy to harm health. The reason is that plastic bags that are not resistant to high temperature will release harmful chemicals when exposed to hot water, which will affect physical and mental health. In addition, the plastic bag is sealed, and the ventilation effect is poor, which is not conducive to the blood gas circulation of the feet.
The principle of foot bath is that there are 62 basic reflex zones on the soles of our feet, and proper stimulation of the reflex zones is conducive to regulating the physiological functions of various organs of the human body. Soaking feet can improve local blood circulation, relieve fatigue, dispel cold, promote metabolism, dredge meridians, regulate qi and promote blood circulation, and finally achieve the purpose of health care. Soaking feet looks simple, and there are many problems to pay attention to. The water temperature and duration of soaking feet should be appropriate. The correct foot bath should be a wooden bucket or enamel basin with a deep bottom area, which can make your feet comfortably flat, and it is best to let the water soak all the way to your calves. When the water temperature is about 40~50 degrees Celsius, the water should be heated at any time to keep the temperature uniform, and each soaking time is 15~30 minutes.
There are many foot bath shops outside now, but most of them put plastic bags on foot baths and then heat water to soak customers' feet, which is not conducive to the blood gas circulation of feet and is easy to cause harm to the body. Therefore, if possible, you should try to soak your feet in your own home to avoid cross-infection of some foot diseases to the greatest extent, so as to achieve the purpose of effective health care.
