Grandpa has the habit of soaking feet every day. After soaking, it helps blood circulation. Can the elderly soak feet for a long time?

    Do not soak the feet for too long, because the interval of 20-30 minutes is the best, because the human blood circulation will be faster after the feet are soaked, and the heart rate is faster than usual. If the time is too long, it will increase the heart burden. Patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and the elderly should pay special attention. If you feel chest tightness or dizziness, you should temporarily stop soaking your feet and lie in bed immediately.
