Soaking your feet in hot water is not harmful to people!

The water temperature should not be too high. Many people think that as long as they are within their tolerance, the higher the water temperature, the better, but this is not the case. The best water temperature for foot soaking is below 50, it is required to be hot but not hot, and the water temperature should not be measured by hand, it is best to feel it with feet. If the water temperature is too high, the blood vessels on the feet are easy to overexpand, and the blood in the body flows more to the lower limbs, which is easy to cause insufficient blood supply to the heart, brain, kidneys and other important organs, which is not good for the body.

If the water temperature is too high, it is not only unfavorable for patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, but also easy to damage the sebaceous membrane on the surface of the foot**, making the stratum corneum dry and even chapped. The water temperature should be 40 45. Don't take too long.

It is best not to soak your feet for more than half an hour each time, because the blood circulation and heart rate of the human body will increase when you soak your feet, and too long will increase the burden on your heart.

For diabetic foot patients, the ** is more fragile, the peripheral nerves of the feet are not sensitive to temperature, and normal people feel the hot water temperature, but they can't feel it, and it is easy to be burned. For people with beriberi or foot wounds, soaking their feet in hot water may lead to secondary bacterial infections.

For 10 minutes, it is good to soak your feet in warm water, because people's feet are cold and their bodies are cold.

In life, some people are accustomed to soaking their feet red when they soak their feet, and think that the higher the water temperature, the better the effect. In fact, the foot soaking water should not be too hot, and it is advisable to take about 40. This is because:

On the one hand, if the water temperature is too high, the blood vessels of the feet are easy to overexpand, and the blood in the human body flows more to the lower limbs, which is easy to cause insufficient blood supply to important organs such as the heart, brain, and kidneys, especially for friends with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. On the other hand, if the water temperature is too high, it is easy to damage the sebum film on the surface of the foot**, making the stratum corneum dry or even chapped. The water is cold and will also affect the effect, and the foot soaking time is 10 to 15 minutes, not more than 30 minutes.

Some people like to soak their feet in hot water, which is considered to be harmless to the body.

Chun Yujun found that not only the elderly, but also more and more young people have become keen to stay healthy. Many people like to use hot foot soaking, and more foot bath institutions vigorously promote foot soaking health. Is the foot bath really useful enough to deserve everyone's active participation and long-term persistence?

From the point of view of modern medicine, I'm afraid not. The result of upright walking in humans is a long low overhang position of the feet and lower legs, with relatively poor arterial blood supply and venous returns. Hot water blister foot can dilate blood vessels, promote foot blood circulation, improve cold limbs, and relieve muscle expansion, fatigue and other discomforts to a certain extent.

However, there are other effects of increased local body temperature and increased blood flow that are not suitable for everyone.

These people need to soak their feet carefully: Too high a water temperature may cause peripheral vasodilation in the feet and legs, causing more blood flow to the lower limbs and insufficient blood to organs such as the brain and heart. Therefore, diabetic patients with coronary artery disease and cerebrovascular disease who may cause insufficient blood supply to the heart or brain, resulting in chest tightness, chest pain, dizziness, and even fainting and other discomforts must be cautious about soaking their feet.

High blood sugar can cause long-term and chronic damage to various tissues in the body.

Most people with diabetes suffer from vascular and neuropathy, resulting in insufficient blood supply to tissues and sensory and motor nerve dysfunction. This complication of diabetic foot is a concentrated manifestation of vascular and neuropathy, and in severe cases, foot ulcers, infection, deep tissue damage, and amputation may be required. Compared to normal people, people with diabetes have impaired sensitivity to temperature and pain, and they are prone to burns.

Ischemia, hyperglycemia, nerve damage and other causes can affect the healing ability of local tissues and the ability to resist infection, resulting in difficult wound healing and possible secondary severe infection. Therefore, the foot soaking temperature of diabetic patients should not be too high, the time should not be too long, once the first trauma, rupture or has been diagnosed as lower limb vascularity, neuropathy, it is recommended not to soak the foot, so as not to cause complications related to lower limb arterial ischemia, in patients with lower limb arterial occlusion, hot bubble foot can only increase blood flow to normal tissues, and the arteries that have been separated do not increase, on the contrary, with more blood flow to normal blood vessels, ischemic aggravation of the lesion area. Therefore, foot immersion and other forms of heat therapy are not suitable for such patients.

The benefits are that it can promote the circulation of the body, can enhance the physique, can prevent colds, and can prevent uterine cold. The disadvantage is that it may catch fire, which may cause water loss and may cause abnormal body temperature.
