many people like the refreshing taste after bathing, so many people take a bath every day, although bathing is a small thing for everyone. But small things also contain great truth. When taking a bath, the water temperature has a great impact on our body. Whether we use hot water or cold water has different effects on our body, so? What’s the difference between bathing in hot water and cold water? Let’s take a look at how to take a healthy bath.
Cold water bath
first, let’s talk about the benefits of cold water bath. Cold water bath can enhance our cold resistance, promote blood circulation through cold water stimulation, and improve our immunity. However, if you take a bath in cold water, you need to pay attention to some things. For example, don’t take off your clothes and wash them directly. According to certain steps, first wet your hands and feet with cold water, then wipe your chest and back with cold water soaked towel, and finally wet your whole body. It should also be noted that if you feel very cold when taking a bath, you must raise the water temperature in time, otherwise it is easy to catch a cold.
hot bath
regular hot bath can also promote our blood circulation and effectively alleviate our muscle fatigue. Especially after very tired physical work, taking a hot bath can not only remove stains, but also effectively alleviate physical and mental fatigue. When taking a hot bath, we also need to pay attention to the water temperature not to be too high, otherwise the oil on the surface of our skin will be damaged, which will also lead to the rapid expansion of capillaries, thus increasing the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In addition, if the temperature is too high, it will aggravate the dryness of our skin and accelerate skin aging.
So what’s the most appropriate temperature? How long is the most healthy time to take a bath?
in fact, cold or hot bath water has its own advantages and disadvantages, as long as it is not too cold or overheated. Everyone can choose according to their own situation. If an accurate temperature is necessary, generally speaking, the water temperature of 35 ℃ ~ 40 ℃ is the best for bathing. This temperature range can not only make people feel comfortable, but also not hurt the skin.
as for how long to wash, it is recommended that you generally control it to 10 ~ 15 minutes. Even if you take a bath, it is not recommended to exceed 20 minutes at most. Because the bath time is too long, it is easy to feel chest tightness and poor breathing, especially in patients with hypertension and heart disease; But also easy to cause skin cuticle damage.
in addition, don’t take a bath immediately after we are full or very hungry, when we drink a lot of wine, and when we don’t get enough rest after strenuous exercise. The reason is that in order to help digestion after meals, part of the blood will flow to the stomach, while after drinking and exercise, part will flow to the body surface. Taking a bath at this time, especially a hot bath, may aggravate this phenomenon, leading to fainting due to insufficient blood supply to the brain. Especially for those patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, they are more prone to risk, so we should pay attention to it.
Also pay attention to the method of bathing:
1. The bathing time should not be too long. Bath for 20 minutes and shower for 3 to 5 minutes. Otherwise, the skin surface will be easily dehydrated.
2. If the skin is not very oily, choose neutral bath liquid and soap, but you don’t have to use it every day. You can use it every two or three days. Moreover, the stay time on the body should not be too long. Be sure to rinse it, otherwise it will hurt the skin.
3. It’s appropriate to take a bath every few days. How about washing every day? People have metabolic products every day, so they can take a bath every day.
however, the hair should not be washed every day. 3 days is the most appropriate time to avoid drying and yellowing due to lack of oil.
4. How much water temperature is more appropriate when bathing? Of course, you can’t overheat. Overheat makes your skin too red and hot. 38 ~ 40 ℃ is suitable in winter and about 25 ℃ in summer.
if the water temperature is too high, the oil on the skin surface is easier to be damaged, the capillaries expand, aggravate the dryness of the skin, damage the skin, and increase the burden on the heart. Often use overheated water to wash your face and bath, but also promote skin aging.
5. Is the direction of washing and rubbing along the pores or against the pores? The correct method is to scrub along the pores, because the pores are open during bathing. When washing along the pores, the filth will not enter from the pores and pollute the skin.
6. Should I wash my hair or body first when taking a bath? You should wash your hair first. When you wash your hair, water rushes on your body, causing your pores to gradually open due to heat, & ldquo; Spit & rdquo; Discharge filth, so as to thoroughly clean the skin.
7. Some bath products feel greasy after use. Why? Most bath products can not only purify the skin, but also have skin care ingredients: an acidic ingredient. The feeling of body smoothness is the result of skin care, like a protective film.
8. When is the best time to take a bath? As mentioned above, taking a bath before going to bed will eliminate the fatigue of the day and make you fall asleep easily.
