I think everyone knows that soaking feet in hot water is a simple way to keep fit, and it can also promote the quality of sleep and make people sleep more sweetly. Soaking feet in hot water in winter can quickly warm the body and make people feel more happy.

Some people will add some Chinese herbal medicines, such as red dates, ginger, dried tangerine peel, etc., to make the health care effect more effective. In most people's minds, foot bathing is a simple health care method, but I would like to remind everyone here that foot bathing does not necessarily bring some benefits to the body, and special groups will bring some security risks to the body.

Case sharing: A man used hot water to soak his feet every day and was almost amputated

Mr. Wang was diagnosed with diabetes several years ago. In winter, Mr. Wang's feet were often not warm, so he chose to soak his feet with hot water before going to bed, which not only had good sleep quality, but also kept his body warm.

The habit of soaking feet has been persisted for several years. Before, Mr. Wang was accidentally scalded by water, but his feet didn't feel too much pain, so he didn't care. He thought that the scald would recover slowly, but he didn't think that the problem was getting worse and worse, and even infected.

Mr. Wang thought it was a simple skin infection and didn't take it to heart. After a while, Mr. Wang found that his feet were completely black. His family quickly sent Mr. Wang to the hospital for examination, and after a series of examinations by doctors.

the doctor explained: if you come two days later, Mr. Wang's foot will be amputated, and the infection is already very serious. It is inevitable that family members will feel confused when posting here, that is, the common infection is caused by scalding. Why does this symptom appear?

This is because soaking feet in diabetic patients will bring some dangers to the body. Normal people will promote the quality of sleep and keep their bodies warm when soaking feet, but the peripheral nerve sensitivity of diabetic patients is relatively low and they can't perceive the normal temperature. If the water temperature is too high, it will lead to foot burns, slow peripheral nerve perception, and no pain in the body, which will aggravate the development of the disease.

Is foot bath for health or chronic suicide?

Soaking feet can promote the whole body's meridians to be smoother, reduce the obstruction of blood circulation and improve the metabolism of cells. Soaking feet with hot water when catching a cold can also relieve discomfort.

Actually, foot bathing is not as effective as we thought. Although it can keep the body warm and promote blood circulation, it can only play a short-term role. Don't rely on foot bathing to cure all diseases. Although it is beneficial, it is not so magical.

Some special people, if they often soak their feet, are likely to bring certain risks to their behavior. Not everyone is suitable for soaking their feet with hot water. If they often soak their feet, the special people here may become chronic suicides instead of keeping in good health.

Although it is comfortable to soak your feet in hot water, why don't doctors recommend these six types of people to soak their feet? Soaking your feet or hurting your health

1. People with low blood pressure

When soaking their feet with hot water, the whole body blood will circulate rapidly. People with low blood pressure are not recommended to soak their feet with hot water, which will lead to the phenomenon of blood backflow, which will have adverse effects on the heart and brain, and even lead to dizziness and coma.

2. People with varicose veins

Poor blood circulation in the legs will lead to varicose veins, which will suddenly accelerate blood circulation when soaking their feet, and the reflux burden of veins will continue to increase, which is not conducive to the recovery of the disease.

3. Children

Children are growing and developing at a slower speed. It is not recommended to soak their feet frequently, which will cause the ligaments of the feet to become more flabby and form flat feet.

4. People with beriberi

If they often soak their feet during the onset of beriberi, the local infection will be more serious.

5. People suffering from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases

Especially those suffering from hypertension, arteriosclerosis and coronary heart disease, often soaking feet in daily life will aggravate the harm of cardiovascular and vascular diseases, make blood vessels more fragile and easily cause rupture.

6. People with diabetic foot

People with diabetes have much lower perception and sensitivity of nerve endings than normal people, and they can hardly feel the temperature and pain. It is difficult to find after scalding, which will aggravate the risk of infection and is not conducive to stabilizing the condition of diabetes.

When you soak your feet, you must pay attention to these taboos. It is more conducive to health preservation to distinguish your physical condition before soaking your feet, otherwise it will bring some counterproductive effects to your body.
