1. Look at the color of the soles of the feet
Identifying the condition of the disease based on the five colors is one of the methods of traditional Chinese medicine. The five colors are blue, red, yellow, white and black. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the color of the normal soles of feet is slightly red, which means that the best color of the feet should be “ruddy”.
If the following color conditions appear, it is best to go to the hospital for examination: red is very obvious, there may be heat; the color is blue, there may be cold in the body; abnormal yellow, there may be liver and gallbladder disease; white, except for possible cold syndrome , It may also be malnutrition and anemia; purple or black, possibly poor blood circulation.
2. Look at the color of the toenails
The feet are far away from the heart, and the toenails are the farthest, just like the tip of Mount Everest.
If the toenails are rosy and shiny, the blood circulation is good. Generally, the toenails of healthy and long-lived people will appear healthy pink. At the same time, there are crescents on the toenails, accounting for about 1/5 of the toenails.
If you press it to turn white, it will take a long time to return to the original state after letting go, indicating that the circulation is not good. This is called the red pressure test, which can reflect the blood circulation condition of the feet.
If the circulation is not good, nourishment is bad. Once the cold wind blows on your feet, you may get sick. Some people are prone to onychomycosis and toe diseases, but also because of poor blood circulation, weak resistance, and easy to be invaded by viruses.
If you find that your toenails have turned pale without a trace of blood, then you have to consider whether you are malnourished or anemia. At this time, you should pay more attention to your diet and ensure that you get enough calories every day. If there are vertical stripes on the toenails, it means that the body is weak and disease resistance is poor. At this time, you should pay attention to take part in more physical exercises, avoid standing for a long time, and strengthen your body.
3. Look at the color of the toes
A healthy toe belly should be rosy and full. If the color is too white or red, it is not good. Too red means more congestion and bad veins. Bruise means bad venous return. If the toes are wrinkled and not full, it also means that the blood circulation in the feet is not good.
4. Touch the temperature
Elderly feet are easy to cold, mostly due to insufficient kidney yang or improper warmth. Such people should eat more warm foods, such as lamb, garlic, ginger, etc., to improve the body’s cold tolerance.
If the feet are hot, it may be due to yin deficiency and internal heat. You should eat more mung beans, winter melon, lean meat and other sweet, cool and moisturizing products, and less mutton, leeks, peppers and other warm and dry products.
If the temperature of the feet is not high or low, you can adjust your body temperature by yourself. When it is cold outside, your feet are warm, and when it is hot outside, your feet are still at the same temperature, which means that the blood circulation in the feet is very good. On the contrary, when the weather is cold, the feet will be cold, and when the weather is hot, the feet will be sweaty, indicating that the blood circulation of the feet is not very good. Therefore, the temperature of the soles of the feet of a long-lived person should be the same as that of the hands, moderately warm, neither cold nor hot.
Foot health often reflects the health of the body. Taking good care of your feet means taking good care of your own health. A pair of comfortable and warm socks is very important for everyone.
The most popular choice in daily life is cotton socks. Cotton has good moisture absorption, moisture retention, heat resistance, alkali resistance and hygiene. It will not cause any irritation to human skin, nor will it cause side effects. Wearing for a long time is harmless to the human body and healthier.
