Why do some people dry their heels easily in winter?
Chinese medicine believes that people who are prone to cracked feet are mostly weak and lack of vitality. Among them, the elderly and women are more. Dr da Yi Hui explained that it is usually stimulated by mechanical or chemical substances. When the climate is cold, the secretion of sweat glands under the skin is reduced, the skin is easy to dry, the skin keratin thickens and loses elasticity, and the feet are easy to chapped. Dr da Yi Hui suggested that people with cracked feet should pay attention to keeping warm and moisturizing.

Cold weather
Everyone has experienced that when the weather gets cold, the feet start to dry. This is because the blood circulation is not smooth and the skin elasticity is reduced, which is easy to cause foot cracks.
Which habits easily lead to chapped feet? Dr da Yi Hui says there are four main reasons:
(1) Long-term hand tearing and knife scraping thicken keratin (dead skin)
(2) Always wear shoes that are too high and too tight.
(3) Often barefoot, making skin contact with dry air leads to keratin thickening.
(4) lack of care. Although pay attention to the moisturizing of other parts of the body, but the footsteps are often ignored, always pay attention after cracking.
Dr da Yi Hui said that this situation is more likely to happen to middle-aged people, postpartum women and people who work outdoors for a long time. So how to prevent dry feet?
Dr. Da Yi Hui suggested a balanced diet, eating more fruits and vegetables, drinking more water, and eating foods rich in protein in moderation to keep the skin moist and elastic, so as to prevent the occurrence of chapped feet. Usually you need to keep your feet warm, soak your feet with warm water, and don't forget to moisturize your feet. Finally, the right shoes are also important. Choose shoes that fit your feet. If the shoes are not in the right shape, they will excessively rub the heels and thicken the cuticle.
