Soaking feet is one of many people's favorite ways to keep fit. As long as the container can hold water, it can be used to soak feet. Because of the benefits of celebrity publicity, many people have gradually joined the foot bath team. Is it really good to soak your feet every day? In fact, not everyone is suitable for soaking feet. Pay attention to the appropriate water temperature and time for soaking feet.

First, soaking feet is a disaster for patients with venous thrombosis. Although soaking feet is beneficial to the body, it is very unfavorable for patients with varicose veins and thrombosis, because when soaking feet, the blood vessels in our lower limbs will open and the blood in the arteries will flow to the lower limbs quickly, but the blood reflux force of patients with venous blood column is not smooth, and venous blood will be blocked when soaking feet, and then the capillaries will rupture, and little red dot will appear on the skin. Soaking feet for a long time will lead to pigmentation and blackening of lower limbs.

Second, soaking feet will aggravate the situation of arterial occlusion. The arterial occlusion of our lower limbs is mainly reflected in the state of lower limb ischemia. Soaking feet with hot water can't improve the situation of vascular occlusion. The opening of blood vessels can only promote blood flow, but the ischemia will be more serious because of soaking feet. Because the increase of temperature will cause the oxygen consumption of blood vessels, which will lead to the deepening of ischemia.

Third, soaking feet will put diabetics at risk of amputation. Because of illness, the nerves of the body are not very sensitive. Therefore, many diabetics always think that the water temperature is not hot enough, and they keep heating water and get burned. I don't know. The wound healing ability of diabetic patients is much worse than that of ordinary people. It is not easy to recover after scalding, and it is also easy to be infected by bacteria, which makes the condition more serious. If it is ischemic diabetes, arterial occlusion in the foot will also lead to the risk of amputation.

Soaking feet can improve the quality of sleep, relieve physical and mental stress, enhance the blood circulation of the body and so on, but not all people are suitable for soaking feet. You can soak your feet 3-4 times a week, not too long, just 20 minutes, and the water temperature should not be too high, so as not to hurt your body.
