bathing can relax people’s body and mind and relieve pressure. In short, it has many benefits, so
don’t take a hot bath immediately after exercise
many people like to take a hot bath immediately after exercise to decontaminate, In fact, the physical condition has not returned to a stable state after exercise. It is not suitable to take a bath immediately, especially a hot bath and sauna.
bathing immediately after exercise will lead to increased 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. Under the condition of poor air circulation, the brain is prone to hypoxia, dizziness, general weakness and other symptoms. In severe cases, it can also cause blood pressure drop, collapse shock and syncope.
experts said that after exercise, it is best to rest for 30-45 minutes and take a bath. Warm water shower should be completed in 5-10 minutes. The water temperature should not be 36-39 ℃, especially for people with weak physique.
don’t go to bed immediately after taking a bath
although taking a bath can improve sleep, you shouldn’t go to bed immediately after taking a bath. Because the body temperature will rise after taking a bath, which is not conducive to sleep hormone & ldquo; Melatonin & rdquo; Secretion. It’s best to schedule a bath 1-2 hours before going to bed. After taking a bath, you can make a moisturizing mask, or listen to light music. After all, 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 wet hair, it will not only seriously affect the sleep quality, but also easy to have a headache.
Don’t forget to rub your face in the bath
there are many expression muscles and sensitive nerves on your face. When bathing, hot water can stimulate these nerves. If you rub your face, you can accelerate blood flow and relax expression muscles. The speed of rubbing the face should be once per second. Cover the face with both hands, rub up and down for 3 ~ 5 times, and then rinse with warm water for a total of 3 minutes. In addition, rubbing your stomach and deep breathing will also double your spirit. Knead the abdomen clockwise with the palm of your hand, inhale with the nose, make the abdomen bulge, and then exhale from the mouth, which can promote gastric juice secretion and improve the loss of appetite caused by fatigue.
the water temperature for each bath is 40 ° C.
generally speaking, the human body temperature is 40 ° C. Therefore, bathing in warm water at 40 ° C has the best effect on eliminating fatigue. If the water temperature is too high, it will consume more heat, but it will make people more uncomfortable; The water temperature is too low, the blood vessels contract, and it is not easy to eliminate fatigue. In three volt days, the water temperature can be appropriately reduced to no less than 35 ℃.
the bath time should not be too long
some people like to take a bath and even listen to music in the bathtub. But taking a long bath is bad for your health. Because the bath time is too long, it is easy to make people tired and cause cardiac ischemia and hypoxia. In severe 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 reduced accordingly, which is easy to lead to cerebral ischemia and accidents. So if you take a bath, 20 minutes is enough.
therefore, if you want to keep healthy, you must learn how to take a bath scientifically, otherwise you will only get hurt and worry more and more.
The emphasis on bathing
means: wash the body with water to remove stains. It can also remove odor.
times per week
in summer, the human body secretes vigorously and perspires more, so it should be washed once a day. The weather in winter, spring and autumn is not hot, and the number of baths can vary from person to person. For those with fat body and strong secretion of sebaceous glands, the number of baths can be appropriately increased. The secretion of sebaceous glands in the elderly is reduced, which can appropriately reduce the number of baths.
how much is the bath water temperature?
the bath water temperature should be close to the body temperature, i.e. 35 ~ 37 ℃. If the water temperature is too high, the systemic epidermal blood vessels will expand, the cardiac and cerebral blood flow will be reduced, and hypoxia will occur. The water temperature when pregnant women take a bath should not be too high to prevent fetal hypoxia and affect fetal development. Take a moderate cold bath in summer. If the bath water is too cold, the skin pores will suddenly close, the blood vessels will suddenly shrink, and the heat in the body will not be released. Especially on hot nights, people often feel weak limbs, shoulder and knee pain and abdominal pain after taking a cold bath. It can even become a predisposing factor of arthritis and chronic gastrointestinal diseases. Generally, the water temperature of cold bath in summer should not be lower than 10 ℃.
The suitable time is
no matter in spring, summer, autumn and winter, the bathing time should not be too long. Each bathing time should be 15 ~ 30 minutes to prevent heart and brain hypoxia and ischemia.
unfavorable conditions
do not take a bath after a full meal and when hungry. After taking a bath after a full meal, the epidermal blood vessels of the whole body are stimulated and expanded by hot water, more blood flows to the body surface, and the blood supply to the abdominal cavity is relatively reduced, which will affect digestion and absorption, cause hypoglycemia, even collapse and faint.
do not take a bath after drinking. Alcohol can inhibit liver activity and hinder the recovery of glucose in the body. When bathing, the consumption of glucose in the human body will increase. If you take a bath after drinking, if your blood sugar is not supplemented in time, you are prone to dizziness, dizziness and general weakness. In serious cases, you may also have hypoglycemic coma.
do not take a bath immediately after work. Whether it is physical or mental work, you should rest for a while before taking a bath, otherwise it is easy to cause insufficient blood supply to the heart and brain, and even syncope.
do not take a bath when blood pressure is too low. When the water temperature is too high, people’s blood vessels dilate, and people with hypotension are prone to transient cerebral insufficiency and collapse.
it is not suitable to take a bath when you have a fever
when people’s body temperature rises to 38 ℃, the body’s heat consumption can increase by 20%, and the body is weak. At this time, taking a bath is prone to accidents[ 1]
who should not take a bath
should not take a bath when you have a fever. When the body temperature rises to 38 ℃, the body’s heat consumption can increase by 20%, and the body is weak. Taking a bath at this time is prone to accidents.
in addition, even if there is no high fever, it is best not to take a bath during the acute development of the disease. Patients with severe heart disease, high anemia, uremia, hypertension with a high pressure of more than 180 mm Hg, myocardial infarction, acute nephritis, acute hepatitis and trauma should not take a bath.
who should not take a bath often
patients with cerebrovascular disease should not take a bath often. The thermal stimulation generated during bathing will accelerate the blood flow in patients, and then increase the pressure of blood on blood vessels. When blood flow passes through some local lesions, blood vessel rupture is easy to occur.
epilepsy patients should not take a bath often. When bathing, because a large amount of water vapor is inhaled into the body, the oxygen content in the body decreases. In addition, the sweat discharged by the body increases, and the electrolyte balance is disturbed, which is easy to cause temporary dysfunction and induce epilepsy.
the elderly should not bathe too often. The elderly have weak physical strength, thin skin, gradual atrophy of sebaceous glands, frequent bathing, dry skin and itching. When bathing, the water temperature is too high, and the heat in the body is not easy to dissipate. It is also easy to cause telangiectasia and cerebral ischemia, dizziness and even fainting.
