The old man insists on soaking his feet every day. He 100 years old is still very healthy. Soaking feet is really amazing. Especially now, there is a trend of keeping in good health. Many people rack their brains for health, such as eating scientifically and doing aerobic exercise. Many people use foot baths to keep healthy.

There is an old saying: "The rich take tonic and the poor soak their feet", which can stimulate the acupoints of the feet and promote peripheral blood circulation. It can not only relieve fatigue, but also be beneficial to sleep and health.

The function of soaking feet is to promote blood circulation in the body. Some people have cold hands and feet when the weather is cold, because the blood circulation of feet is blocked, so soaking feet with hot water every day can dilate blood vessels and promote blood circulation of feet.

Second, it can drive away cold and keep warm. As the saying goes, cold comes from the soles of the feet, because the soles of the feet are at the lowest end of human blood circulation, which is prone to poor blood circulation. Especially in insufficient blood gas, when the resistance and immunity decline, the body is prone to cold invasion. Soaking feet with hot water often helps to improve the blood gas circulation of soles, and has the effect of driving away cold and keeping warm.

Third, it can relieve people's pressure. White-collar workers, drivers, and stressed people lack certain exercise after work, which easily leads to poor blood circulation in the lower body. Insisting on soaking feet with hot water is conducive to speeding up blood circulation, improving and relieving congestion of lower limbs, relaxing people and relieving fatigue.

Fourth, clean feet. Some people have beriberi. Soaking your feet with hot water can not only clean your feet, but also add a spoonful of salt to the water to play an anti-inflammatory and bactericidal role. Prevention of beriberi is beneficial to exfoliation and makes the skin of feet smoother.

Fifth, it can relieve foot fatigue. Especially those who do heavy work for a long time, or stand for a long time, or walk for a long time, the foot muscles are in a state of tension, which leads to foot fatigue. At this time, soaking feet in hot water for half an hour can help them relax and relieve their whole body.

It should be noted that patients with serious diseases or people with varicose veins of lower limbs are not suitable for soaking feet with hot water.
