Feet are the source of cold invasion.
There is a secret control system hidden in the soles of people's feet, and many buttons are directly connected with internal organs. Massage to stimulate these buttons can open the corresponding circuit, repair and adjust the corresponding organs.
As the saying goes, "cold begins with feet, and people get old first." The sole of the foot is also the farthest place from the heart and the hardest place for blood to reach. Therefore, the soles of the feet are not easy to keep warm and are most vulnerable to cold. Some people don't pay attention to maintaining their feet, often play with water in cold water, walk barefoot in sewage, get wet by rain and don't change their shoes immediately, put their feet in the air when sleeping, and don't wash their feet immediately when their feet are dirty and smelly, which are easy to cause violations by cold people. More importantly, there are many acupoints connecting the viscera on the feet, and the invasion of cold air from the feet can directly affect the normal physiological functions of these viscera.
A cool head and warm feet are good for sleep.
Since ancient times, there has been a folk saying that "cold head and warm feet are good for sleep", which is a valuable health care experience in line with medical principles. ? When sleeping, the head is exposed to the outside, which not only helps the head to dissipate heat and keep cool, but also has the effect of calming the heart and sleeping peacefully, and is also conducive to smooth breathing and sufficient oxygen supply to the brain. In hot summer, the use of bamboo pillows, jade pillows, porcelain pillows and other cool pillows can reduce the temperature of the head, so it can be used to treat insomnia and protect the brain. On the contrary, people who like to sleep with a quilt should pay attention. Sleeping in the quilt will make them sleep less, and the brain will not get enough oxygen, which will affect the next day's work. After a long time, it will cause slow response and memory loss.
When sleeping, feet are the key parts to keep warm. Many parents find that if their children accidentally kick off the quilt while sleeping, they will catch a cold and have diarrhea the next day. Therefore, before going to bed, help your child to cover the quilt, especially the position of the feet. The quilt should be folded inward and pressed under your feet to avoid being kicked off. For the elderly, hot water bottles and wool felt should be put on their feet in winter. They can sleep soundly when their feet are warm.

In winter, cold air will pour into your pants, making your feet numb, cold and painful, from the soles of your feet to your calves to your whole body, shivering with cold.
