1, four groups of people who cannot soak their feet
1, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases
In life, many people will say that the biggest disease affecting health is cancer. After all, many people will say that when cancer happens, they will face death. In fact, the biggest disease that leads to death in life is actually cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases had better not soak their feet at ordinary times, because when soaking their feet, the water temperature of soaking their feet will continuously expand the capillaries. Such a temperature will continue to accelerate blood flow, which will put a great burden on the heart and blood vessels and greatly increase the risk of illness. Therefore, patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in life had better not soak their feet with too hot water.
2. Diabetic patients
As far as the water temperature of soaking feet is concerned, many people hope that the higher the water temperature, the better. They think that such water temperature helps the blood circulation of the body. In fact, it is not easy to burn your feet by soaking your feet in hot water often. As far as diabetes is concerned, nervous system diseases are very easy to occur. This is because our peripheral nerves can't sense the external temperature normally, and such neuropathy is a very hidden disease.
The patient himself is not easy to detect. Patients with peripheral neuropathy are very easy to be scalded if they don't try the water temperature. Moreover, the higher the water temperature when soaking feet, the easier it is to cause foot infection and accelerate the deterioration of diabetic foot. Therefore, in life, if there are diabetics at home, it is best for family members to adjust the water temperature when soaking their feet, and then let them soak their feet at 37 degrees.
3. Children
When soaking feet, there is another place to pay attention to, that is, the choice of the crowd. Children who are developing in life, it is best not to soak their feet often. Even if they wash their feet at night, the water temperature should not be too high. This is because soaking feet often will make the ligaments of our soles deform and relax due to heat, which is not conducive to the development of arch. After a long time, it is easy to induce flat feet. It is very important for the normal development of children's feet.
4. People on an empty stomach
In order to lose weight, many people don't eat, thinking that it will be easier to lose weight and thus have a slim figure. If you soak your feet without eating, the blood vessels in your feet will continue to expand, further increasing the blood volume, resulting in the continuous decrease of gastrointestinal and visceral blood, which will affect the gastrointestinal digestive function. At the same time, if we soak our feet before meals, it will continue to inhibit the secretion of our gastric juice. It has a great influence on digestion. Therefore, in life, even if you lose weight, you must eat. Soaking your feet after meals is effective for health care.
2. Three benefits of soaking feet
1, foot bath for insomnia
The trouble of sleeping is very painful, which not only leads to listlessness during the day, but also leads to the decline of physical condition. It is recommended to soak your feet to improve your sleep quality. Adding pebbles to grind feet can improve the effect of foot bath, promote the connection of human blood vessels, achieve the effects of communicating heart and kidney, soothing liver and regulating qi, invigorating spleen and calming nerves, and better improve sleep. Adding pebbles to the foot bath can play a role similar to acupuncture. Soaking feet before going to bed can relieve insomnia.
2, soaking feet helps blood circulation.
Many people will feel cold hands and feet in autumn and winter, but it is actually poor blood circulation. Soaking feet with hot water can promote blood circulation, relieve fatigue and improve sleep. In addition, in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, soaking feet is also good for other systemic diseases, such as rheumatism, arthritis, colds and other common diseases. As long as you insist on soaking your feet every day, you can play a health care role in slowing down symptoms.
3, Chinese medicine foot bath is equal to taking medicine.
Soaking feet can stimulate acupoints, reflex zones and meridians of feet. Many people have done pedicure. When the masseur presses our feet, they will feel pain and soreness, which basically shows that there is something wrong with the viscera in the corresponding reflex zone. Therefore, when we finish the foot massage, we will feel relaxed all over.
3. Matters needing attention in foot bath
1, the water temperature should not be too high
(1) In life, some people are used to soaking their feet in very hot water, thinking that the higher the water temperature, the better. In fact, the foot bath water should not be too hot, and about 40℃ is appropriate. If the water temperature is too high, the blood vessels in both feet are prone to over-expansion, and more blood in the human body flows to the lower limbs, which is tantamount to adding insult to injury to patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
(2) If the water temperature is too high, it is easy to destroy the sebum membrane on the skin surface of the foot, making the cuticle dry or even chapped.
2, the time should not be too long
(1) It is best not to soak your feet for more than half an hour at a time, because soaking your feet will speed up blood circulation and heart rate, and too long will increase the burden on your heart.
Because blood will rush to the lower limbs, some people will feel dizzy because of insufficient blood supply to the brain, especially patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and the elderly.
3. Be sure to test the temperature by hand.
When soaking feet, when you are not sure about the temperature of water, it is recommended to try with your hands instead of your feet, because your hands are more sensitive to temperature than your feet. For patients with diabetic foot, measure the temperature with a thermometer when washing feet to avoid scalding.
4, with massage soles
Soaking feet with hot water before going to bed is especially suitable for cold syndrome, such as always being afraid of cold, cold hands and feet, accompanied by chronic diarrhea, dysmenorrhea, coronary heart disease, dysuria and other diseases. After soaking feet, you can also massage the reflex areas related to the soles of your feet, such as chronic prostatitis or prostatic hyperplasia, and massage the reflex areas of prostate and urethra.
5, patients with fever should not be.
For patients with fever, it is not suitable for soaking feet, such as high fever, bleeding, hot mouth and dry tongue. It should be noted that some people are not sensitive to temperature, or suffer from diabetes and varicose veins of lower limbs. Therefore, we should pay special attention to the water temperature, because such patients are prone to complex peripheral neuropathy, and peripheral nerves cannot normally perceive the external temperature. Even if the water temperature is very high, they will feel late and pure, and they will be easily burned.
