Nowadays, people often do things that harm their health for the sake of fashion. For example, many people still like to wear cropped pants, nine-point pants, etc. in winter, and even roll up the trouser legs when wearing long pants to show their bare feet to show fashion. Especially in winter, is this really healthy? If you have this habit, you must know the following hazards!

Do you know the downsides of showing your ankles?

Easy to catch cold

The foot is called the "second heart" of the human body. The ankle is an important connecting hub between the two hearts. It is distributed with important tissues such as lymphatic vessels, blood vessels, and nerves, but is covered with only a thin layer of soft tissue on the outside, making it extremely susceptible to cold. Once the ankles get cold, the cold air invades the body and may cause a cold and other symptoms.

Causes joint disease

Exposing the ankles in winter causes the feet to be exposed to cold air for a long time. The low temperature may damage the joints, hinder the circulation of qi and blood, and cause cold and pain in the joints, local fear of cold, difficulty in extension and flexion, etc., which may lead to long-term joint diseases.

Frostbite

When body tissues are exposed to cold in winter, the most likely damage is frostbite on the skin. Symptoms such as local cyanosis, itching, and ulceration may occur.

Worsening of dysmenorrhea

If a woman is menstruating, wearing clothes that expose her ankles in winter can aggravate her dysmenorrhea. Some people even suffer from severe cold in their bodies, which increases the risk of damage to other body tissues.

Tips:

Chinese medicine experts suggest that except in summer, it is not encouraged to expose the ankles in spring, autumn and winter, because "cold starts from the feet" does not only apply to winter. Even in summer, if you spend a long time in an air-conditioned room, you should pay attention to keeping key parts such as ankles, knees, and shoulders warm.

Therefore, when you feel cold, you should pay attention to keeping warm. Except for the summer when you can wear less, it is not encouraged to expose your ankles in spring, autumn and winter, because "cold starts from the feet" does not only apply to winter.
