1, the health benefits of soaking feet
With the enhancement of people's health awareness, the benefits of soaking feet are gradually recognized by people. Especially at home, while washing feet with hot water before going to bed, soaking feet well can relieve the fatigue of the whole body. But how many people can wash their feet? According to a recent survey, among the 2,096 respondents, only 40.6% often soak their feet, which means that less than half of them do.
According to the survey, 47% people think there is no time, 3 1.9% people are afraid of trouble, and 5% people think it is completely unnecessary. In response to this phenomenon, experts from the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine said that the pace of life of modern people is very fast, and it may be a luxury for some people to spend some time soaking their feet.
In fact, soaking feet has many benefits. According to the theory of Chinese medicine, there are many meridians on people's feet. Soaking feet with hot water can promote blood circulation and dredge meridians. Some elderly people or people with weak constitution can soak their feet with hot water, which can achieve the effects of warming yang and tonifying kidney, strengthening body and preventing diseases. For some patients with insomnia and chronic diseases, it is also effective to use some drugs or other therapies to relieve symptoms when soaking feet with hot water.
In the survey, many people realized that incorrect foot washing would have many health risks. 4 1. 16% people think that a family can't * * use the footbath, 29.7 1% people think that wearing slippers directly after washing their feet may breed bacteria, 14. 18% people think that washing their feet badly in the shower is also a kind of disapproval. Experts say it takes about three days from the initial infection to the development of fungal infection into a disease. During this period, fungi only infect the skin on the surface of feet. Generally can be washed away with cold water.
However, if the epidermis is damaged, it can not only infect fungi quickly in a short time, but also infect skin diseases such as staphylococcus. Therefore, it is a good way to prevent foot mycosis to dry your feet after soaking, without footbath, and to wash your feet well in the shower.
In addition, it should be noted that you should not soak your feet immediately after a meal, because the accelerated blood circulation in your feet will affect the blood supply to the stomach and intestines, which in turn will affect the normal operation of the digestive system, and there may be hidden dangers.
The survey also found that 64.5 1% people choose to soak their feet in winter, and only 30.66% people think that they should soak their feet all year round. Yang Li said that the effect of soaking feet is more obvious because of the cold weather in winter, but it is also a misunderstanding to think that soaking feet can only be done in winter. In fact, soaking feet can be done all year round. Of course, the water temperature can be appropriately adjusted according to different seasons and individual physical differences. Generally, it should exceed the normal body temperature of people, and 40-50 degrees Celsius is appropriate.
By investigating the figures, we can easily find that many people don't pay attention to washing and soaking their feet, so they can't really do health preservation, health care and disease prevention.
