What is the suitable temperature for soaking feet?
Soaking feet does not mean that the higher the temperature, the better. If the water temperature is too high, it may not only burn the skin, but also lead to excessive expansion of blood vessels, stimulate too much blood to rush to the lower limbs, and cause abnormal blood supply to other organs of the body.
If you are an elderly person with cardiovascular disease, the temperature of foot bath water is too high, which may lead to insufficient blood supply to the heart, brain and other organs, and it is easy to get sick. If you are a diabetic, the water temperature is too high, scalding the skin and even blisters may cause infection, which is very dangerous.
As long as the water temperature is slightly higher than the human body temperature, the temperature within the range of 38 ~ 43 is more suitable. Old people should not soak their feet more than 40, and young people should not soak their feet more than 43. Even if it doesn't cause cardiovascular problems, too high temperature will do harm to the skin, such as excessive expansion of pores.
Precautions for soaking feet
1, avoid soaking feet on an empty stomach, because the body consumes a lot of calories in the process of soaking feet, and when glycogen reserves are low, hypoglycemia shock is easy to occur due to hypoglycemia.
2. Avoid soaking feet immediately after meals. If you soak your feet immediately after a meal, the blood vessels in your skin will expand and the blood in your digestive organs will decrease, which will hinder the digestion and absorption of food.

If you often soak your feet with hot water, it will cause flat feet, so children should not soak their feet. Usually rinse with ordinary warm water for a short time.
4, avoid soaking feet and blowing, the temperature of soaking feet usually leads to sweating all over the body.

If the water temperature is too high, it will make it difficult for the human body to dissipate heat, and it is easy to collapse or even burn.

Of course, the choice of temperature depends on different individuals and the length of soaking feet.
