It’s cold, and many people like to soak their feet in hot water before going to bed, but these 3 types of people cannot just soak
Recently, the temperature has dropped sharply. Many people like to soak their feet in hot water before going to bed. Soaking feet can be said to be a habit of many people. Some people say that soaking feet can speed up blood circulation, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and help sleep. This is also the most frequently heard statement. Is it true?
1. Why do you feel comfortable when you soak your feet in hot water?
We also need to talk about the blood vessels of the human body. The blood vessels of the human body have arteries and veins. The arteries of the lower extremities start from the heart and go down to the legs and feet, and then return to the heart through the capillary nutrient exchange. The distribution of blood vessels in the legs is abundant, all over the skin and muscles. When the veins of the lower extremities expand, the arterial blood flow will increase, and when the veins of the lower extremities expand, it is easy to cause venous stasis.
When the feet are soaked in hot water, the local temperature rises, which will cause the arteries to dilate, so the saying of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis may also come from this. So after soaking the feet in hot water, it feels particularly refreshing. This is due to the opening of the pores and heat dissipation. Because of this, many people like to soak their feet before going to bed. But did you know that hot water is not suitable for everyone.
Two, these three types of people can't just soak their feet in hot water
1. People with varicose veins
We often see the dense blood vessels of some people's legs, crawling on the legs like earthworms. This is caused by varicose veins of the lower limbs. If there are varicose veins, when the feet are soaked in hot water, the arterial blood flow of the lower extremities increases, so that more blood flows into the lower extremities, and the veins of the lower extremities also need to return more blood to the heart. Therefore, soaking feet in hot water will undoubtedly worsen the situation for patients with varicose veins of the lower extremities, and increase the blockage of blood vessels. In addition, people with varicose veins in the lower extremities, if they often soak their feet in hot water, it is easy to cause the capillaries of the lower extremities to rupture and form bleeding spots on the skin. After a long time, they will form pigmentation and darken the legs.
2. Diabetes
Every year, the hospital accepts many burn patients, and a large proportion of them are diabetic patients. For normal people, we will dodge in time when we encounter high temperatures. For diabetic patients, we all know that one of the most common complications is microvascular disease, which causes blockage of nerve capillaries and blockage of nerve conduction. Therefore, when there is external stimulation, the response is not particularly sensitive and not very good. Avoid bad external stimuli, so it is easy to be scalded by hot water.
We often find that the water temperature is already extremely hot, but some sugar friends did not find it when they soaked their feet. In addition, the blood viscosity of diabetic patients themselves increased and the microcirculation was impaired. Therefore, it is difficult to recover and further develop after a foot burn. It is easy to cause infection, ulceration, and even foot necrosis. This is what we call diabetic foot. In severe cases, only amputation can be done.
3. People with certain cardiovascular diseases
Many cardiovascular diseases have genetic factors. For example, some cardiovascular diseases can easily lead to insufficient blood supply, such as heart disease, cardiac insufficiency, low blood pressure, and people with frequent dizziness. When the feet are soaked in hot water, more blood will flow to the lower extremities and body surface, which will cause the ischemia of the heart, brain and other important organs, which will cause undesirable consequences and even syncope.
Written at the end: If the people around you also have the habit of soaking feet in hot water, then the above categories of people need special attention, and promptly remind them that they must pay attention to the temperature of the water and the time of the feet when soaking their feet. Of course, for people who are healthy, soaking their feet in hot water before going to bed can relieve fatigue and there is no problem.
