the temperature rises day by day, and some friends begin to take cold baths to relieve the summer heat. But because everyone’s physical condition is different, not everyone is suitable for taking a cold bath! For example, people should avoid taking baths in cold water.
1. People with high blood pressure
as soon as the skin contacts cold water, the blood vessels contract sharply, and a large amount of blood flows back to the internal organs, which increases the already high blood pressure. In severe cases, it can lead to cerebrovascular rupture, bleeding, stroke, coma and even death. Those with slightly increased blood pressure can take a cold bath, but they can only adapt slowly.
2, people with sciatica and other neuralgia
such people do not take a cold bath. Because after the nerve gets cold, the pain will be more intense. People with arthritis and joint pain should also not take a cold bath.
3. People who are allergic to cold
, such as patients with cold urticaria and winter pruritus, do not take a cold bath during the onset of the disease. If you want to exercise your skin when you don’t have an attack, you can use the step-by-step temperature reduction method, that is, initially take a hot water bath, gradually change to a warm water bath, and then gradually reduce the water temperature until the water temperature is quite low but there is no disease.
4. People with heart disease
when taking a cold bath, the blood rushes to the heart rapidly, which will make the heart unable to load. People with poor liver, kidney and lung functions are also not suitable for cold baths because their organs may not be able to load.
5. People who have just finished drinking
after drinking, the pores of the skin are fully open. When taking a cold bath, they will shrink rapidly due to the cold water, and the impact will be too large, which will make the body unbearable.
6. People after intense exercise
when engaged in intense exercise, like drinking, will sweat and heat, fully open the pores of the skin, and take a shower immediately, which will make the body unbearable.
7. People with insufficient Qi and blood
women are less suitable for cold bath and vascular gymnastics because of their weak body, insufficient Qi and blood and poor blood circulation during menstruation, pregnancy and confinement.
8. People who have just eaten
will flow blood to the stomach to help food digestion. If they take a cold bath immediately, it will flow blood from the stomach to other internal organs of the body and affect digestion. They can only take a cold bath half an hour after dinner.
finally reminds friends who love cold water bath:
when cooling with cold water bath, it is not suitable to suddenly immerse the whole body in cold water at the beginning. It’s best to sprinkle some cold water on your body with your hands or shower head, or wet your hands and feet with cold water, then wet your chest and back with some cold water with a towel, rub your body for a moment, and then drench the cold water all over your body. Wipe it dry quickly until your skin turns red. Being conscious and refreshing shows that it has a good effect. If you feel chilly, shorten the shower time or raise the water temperature.
