High heels have been synonymous with beauty, confidence and sexiness since the day they were born, and over the years there has been no shortage of crazy obsessives, as sister-in-law Victoria said: “Being seen in flats is like the end of the world for me”. Not only these shining stars, almost all beauty loving women are big fans of high heels. But when our female friends love high heels like crazy, do they realize that high heels are not only for a tall and straight body, but also for many health challenges. The young and beautiful Xiao Hui is a cosmetic counter sales lady, for professional etiquette needs, often wearing high heels is 8 hours a stop. When she first started working, she only felt pain in her feet and swelling in her calves when she got home from work every day, but recently she found that there were many bruises on the back of her feet, which affected the beauty of her feet, not only the back of her feet, but also the inside of her calves. After understanding her situation, the doctor told her that it was called “varicose veins in the lower limbs”, and the culprit that caused Xiao Hui’s illness was the beautiful pair of high heels on her feet! How can high heels cause varicose veins in the lower limbs? This has to start from our body’s normal lower extremity venous reflux way, normal people lower extremity venous reflux mainly relies on the muscle on the venous vascular compression role. When the muscle is diastolic, the capillary blood will flow into the vein to fill the vein, and when the lower limb muscle is contracted, it will squeeze the blood in the vein to the heart, so when we are walking or cycling, the blood will be sent back to the heart continuously under the regular contraction of the muscle. This “pump” role of the muscle is very important to the human body, and the effect is also very amazing, for example, in our running two lower limbs “muscle pump” per minute to squeeze out the blood up to several liters of more! And when wearing high heels, our feet are always in the “tiptoe” state, the calf muscles continue to contract, the veins continue to be pressurized, so that the role of muscle “pump” will not be able to play. In addition, standing for a long time, due to the role of gravity, will also make the lower limb venous return flow is reduced. The blood flow in the lower extremities does not go back, it will stagnate in the superficial veins of our skin, forming the earthworm-like tendons we see, that is, varicose veins in the lower extremities. So Xiao Hui’s problem comes from the pair of high heels that she wears on her feet every day. In fact, wearing high heels often will not only lead to varicose veins in lower limbs, but also cause many diseases. 1, foot disease, the most common is bunion, that is, big foot disease, is due to wearing high heels, the force point of the foot forward to make the forefoot and big toe long-term pressure, especially the pointed high heels on the toe more damage. In addition to bunions, wearing high heels for a long time can also lead to calluses, fungal nail fungus and other diseases. 2, back pain, people wearing high heels when the center of gravity will shift forward, resulting in a forward pelvic tilt, increased spinal curvature, excessive concentration of force on the lumbar and cervical spine is very likely to cause injury, the accumulation of this injury will eventually lead to lumbago and cervical spondylosis. 3, urinary incontinence, foreign medical reports point out that women who often wear high heels are prone to urinary incontinence. This is mainly due to the fact that women always land on their feet first after wearing high heels, which puts more pressure on the pelvis. The greater the pressure on the pelvis, the faster the nearby muscles, such as the external urethral sphincter, will degenerate, resulting in a weakened urethral control of urination, thus causing urinary incontinence. 4, libido and appetite loss, the United States of America sex experts through the survey found that long-term wear high heels women, legs, perineum and lower abdominal muscles are always in a state of tension, which directly affects the blood circulation in the pelvis, so that the normal physiological function of the pelvic sex organs are adversely affected. In addition, Chinese medicine believes that there are at least 60 points on the human foot, with the role of coherent meridians, to maintain smooth blood circulation throughout the body. Wearing high heels puts long-term pressure on the feet and affects the corresponding meridians, leading to a decrease in appetite and poor digestive function. Pay attention to the details of life, health and beauty at the same time Look at these hazards, perhaps we are scared by high heels, is it because of these hazards, we have to put high heels on the high shelf? Obviously not, the following we will provide some health care methods when wearing high heels: 1, there are limits to beauty, do not be too high heels. The current international consensus is that the height of women’s high heels is best controlled between 3-5 cm, and the limit height of 7 cm, once more than this height, it will make the pelvis tilt too far forward, the lumbar spine and pelvis are causing very serious damage. It seems that like sister-in-law and Lady Gaga often wear more than 10 cm of super high heels is a huge health killer. 2, the scientific method of wearing shoes, disease will not find. The time to choose shoes should be appropriate in the afternoon 3 to 4 pm, to ensure that the shoes really fit comfortably. Usually when wearing high heels should also pay attention to walking posture, the toes should be straight ahead, landing on the knees to keep the flexibility, hip clenching, upper body straight. This can avoid too much pressure unevenly distributed. This will reduce the damage to the lumbar spine, improve the blood circulation in the legs and feet, and prevent the occurrence of varicose veins. 3.Small daily movements to relieve foot fatigue. We can use some small actions in our daily life to achieve the purpose of relieving foot fatigue. After wearing high heels for a long time, you can take off your high heels, put your feet flat on the ground, lift your heels to the maximum, hold them for five seconds, and then restore them, and then slowly turn your toes up, also hold them for five seconds, and then restore them. The whole process should be slow and feel the Achilles tendon being stretched in a gradual manner. This small movement is repeated at least 10 times. Then you can also do the movement of the ankle joint, clockwise and counterclockwise 10 turns each, and then change the other foot activities. Such a small action not only allows the ankle joint to be exercised and the calf muscles to be relaxed, but also enhances the role of the muscle pump and promotes the return of veins in the lower limbs. Raising the leg 30 to 40 degrees at night while sleeping can effectively promote blood return to the lower limbs and prevent varicose veins. 4, home according to massage, warm water bubble feet. Often do foot massage, not only can relieve the pressure of ligaments, but also can promote blood circulation and reduce the pain of feet and legs. You can massage your own calf muscles, a simple foot massage, but also with the help of massage equipment or seek the help of professional massage therapists. In addition, the daily foot soak with warm water before bed is also a good way to relieve fatigue and promote blood circulation. You can add a little rice vinegar to the water and soak your feet for about 20 minutes. But pay attention to the water temperature can not be too hot, the best control at about 38 degrees Celsius, too hot water temperature is not only no therapeutic effect will also aggravate the varicose veins of the lower limbs. In fact, in daily life, as long as we pay attention to the scientific method of wearing shoes, pay attention to their own health care, many diseases can be avoided, we can enjoy the infinite charm brought by high heels at the same time as having health.
