People familiar with traditional Chinese medicine know that our feet can reflect our physical health. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that our feet are important starting points for running qi and blood, connecting the organs, communicating inside and outside, and running through the upper and lower meridians. So how can men tell their health status from their feet? Let's introduce it to you now!
Temperature:
Elderly people's feet are prone to getting cold, mostly due to insufficient kidney yang or improper warmth preservation. These people should eat more warm foods, such as lamb, garlic, ginger, etc., to improve the body's cold resistance. If the heart of the foot is hot, it may be due to yin deficiency and internal heat. You should eat more sweet, cool, and nourishing foods such as mung beans, winter melon, and lean meat, and eat less lamb, leeks, and chili peppers that are isothermal dried.
Toe nail:
The color of healthy people's toenails is pink, and the white half moon shape accounts for about 1/5 of the length of the toenails. If the toenails are pale in color, it may be due to malnutrition or anemia. It is important to pay more attention to diet and nutrition to ensure daily calorie requirements. If there are vertical stripes on the toenails, it indicates that the body is weak and has poor disease resistance. It is recommended to participate in more physical exercise, avoid sitting and standing for a long time, and strengthen the body.
Sole color:
Five color disease differentiation is one of the contents of traditional Chinese medicine, and the five colors are green, red, yellow, white, and black. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the normal color of the soles of the feet is slightly red. If the red color is very obvious, there may be heat; If the color turns blue, there may be cold; If there is an abnormal yellow color, there may be liver and gallbladder diseases; If the hair turns white, in addition to the possibility of cold syndrome, it may also be malnutrition and anemia; If it turns purple or black, there may be poor blood circulation. If you experience the above symptoms, you should seek medical attention in a timely manner.
