The weather is getting hotter and hotter. For many people, they have to take a bath before they feel comfortable every day when they go home sweating. Taking a bath or taking a shower has become a daily thing for us to keep our bodies clean and healthy every day in summer. However, there are several bathing methods that need to be paid attention to. If you can avoid them, you can avoid them. Otherwise, you will be hurt.
Like to take a long bath: some people like to take a bath and even listen to music in the bathtub. But taking a bath for too long is bad for your health. Because bathing for too long is easy to make people tired and cause heart ischemia and hypoxia. In serious cases, it will cause coronary artery spasm, thrombosis, and even induce arrhythmia and sudden death. In addition, if the bath time is too long, the blood supply to the head will be correspondingly reduced, which is easy to lead to cerebral ischemia and accidents. Therefore, if you take a bath, 20 minutes is enough.
Like to take a hot bath: Generally speaking, people’s internal temperature is 40 ℃, so bathing in warm water at 40 ℃ has the best effect on eliminating fatigue. If the water temperature is too high, it will consume more heat, which will make people more uncomfortable; The water temperature is too low, the blood vessels contract, and it is not easy to eliminate fatigue. In the dog days, the water temperature can be properly adjusted to not lower than 35 ℃.
Go to bed immediately after taking a bath: although taking a bath can improve sleep, it is not appropriate to go to bed immediately after taking a bath. Because the body temperature will rise after taking a bath, which is not conducive to the secretion of the hormone melatonin, which helps sleep. It’s best to arrange the bath time 1-2 hours before going to bed. After taking a bath, you can make a Hydrating Facial Mask, or listen to light music. After everything is calmed down, you can sleep peacefully.
At the same time, it should be noted that after taking a bath, you must blow dry your hair before going to bed. If you sleep with your dry hair on your pillow, it will not only seriously affect the quality of sleep, but also easily cause headaches.
Take a hot bath immediately after exercise: many people like to take a hot bath immediately after exercise to decontaminate. In fact, their physical condition has not returned to a stable state after exercise, so they should not take a bath immediately, especially in hot baths and saunas.
Because bathing immediately after exercise will lead to an increase in blood flow to muscles and skin, and insufficient blood supply to other organs. At the same time, breathing is not stable after exercise, and then you enter the bathroom. In the case of poor air circulation, it is easy for the brain to lack oxygen, which may lead to dizziness, general weakness and other symptoms. In serious cases, it may also cause a drop in blood pressure, collapse shock and syncope. Therefore, it is better to rest for 20-30 minutes after the exercise, and then take a bath. The warm water shower should be completed in 5-10 minutes. The water temperature should not be 36-39 ℃, especially for the weak.
