The function of soaking feet is mainly to promote blood circulation. In the process of soaking feet, the basal metabolic rate may increase. If you sweat slightly, your heart rate will increase and your blood circulation will increase. Medically speaking, increasing basal metabolic rate may reduce weight to a certain extent, but after all, soaking feet should not be too long, and the effect of losing weight simply by soaking feet may not be good. Generally speaking, losing weight still needs lifestyle intervention, such as improving diet and exercise, in order to achieve the effect of losing weight. Soaking feet can't lose weight, but soaking feet can really improve the basal metabolic rate to some extent. Soaking feet should not be too long, because soaking feet for half an hour is appropriate. When feet are exposed to warm water or hot water, blood vessels will expand and increase blood circulation in a short period of time. But after a long time, the blood in the lower limbs may swell and the blood stored in the lower limbs will increase, but the blood supply to the brain will decrease, which may lead to cerebral ischemia.
To lose weight, it is recommended to soak your feet with the following things:
1. mugwort
In the south, some people work too hard, or work in the water for many years, resulting in too much water. You usually use wormwood to soak your feet and take a bath. Soaking feet with mugwort leaf water can effectively eliminate deficiency fire and cold fire, and can also eliminate cold and dampness in the body.
2. Chili
Zanthoxylum bungeanum can warm the middle warmer to relieve pain, dispel dampness and dispel cold. Soaking feet with Chili water and soaking feet with angelica and safflower have the same effect, both of which can promote blood circulation and dredge collaterals, so that the whole body blood vessels are smooth and warm.
Step 3: energy
Most people choose to soak their feet at night, which can also promote sleep and prevent colds. Soaking feet with hot Jiang Shui is also very effective for headache caused by cold, and it can also treat lumbago. It is better to use ginger to dispel cold and dampness.
Losing weight and soaking feet can only be used as an auxiliary method, mainly by controlling diet and insisting on exercise!
