Wash your feet with cold water in winter!

Not so good. Wash with hot water.

Feet are closely related to health. The human foot consists of 26 bones, 19 muscles, 32 joints, 50 ligaments, 500,000 blood vessels and more than 40,000 sweat glands. It is called "the second heart".

Chinese medicine believes that human feet are the starting point of meridians that run qi and blood, connect the five internal organs, run up and down, and communicate inside and outside. Many important acupoints leading to the whole body are gathered on the feet, and countless nerve endings are connected with the brain. Washing feet with hot water before going to bed every night and massaging feet frequently can promote metabolism and blood circulation and increase the adaptability of human body to changes in the external environment.
