Taking a nice hot bath in winter is the most comfortable thing. But when the weather gets cold, there are many taboos about taking a bath. If you don't pay attention, it will hurt your skin.
1. The water temperature should not be too high.
A suitable water temperature can accelerate the body's metabolism . Water that is too hot will wash away the oil secreted on the skin surface and the protective bacteria that normally live on the skin surface, which can easily damage the stratum corneum and cause symptoms such as itching and dryness. The appropriate water temperature should be close to body temperature, that is, 37-41°C.
At the same time, too high water temperature will also increase the burden on the heart, because the blood vessels in the skin of the whole body are significantly expanded, causing a large amount of blood to flow to the skin of the whole body, which will cause ischemia and hypoxia in the heart. Especially for the elderly suffering from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease and hypertension, too high water temperature can increase blood pressure and heart rate, increase the burden on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and increase blood viscosity.
2. It is not advisable to take a bath for a long time.
Taking a bath for too long, especially in winter, is also prone to hypoxia. The blood supply to the head is correspondingly reduced, which can easily lead to cerebral ischemia and accidents. Especially for the elderly, it is easy to cause cardiac ischemia and hypoxia, leading to coronary artery spasm, thrombosis, and even severe arrhythmia and sudden death. The correct time should be 20 minutes in the bath and 10-15 minutes in the shower.
3. It is not advisable to go to bed immediately after taking a bath.
It seems to be a good idea to go to bed directly after taking a bath when the body is tired, but at this time there must be a caveat. After taking a bath, your body temperature will rise, which is not conducive to the secretion of the hormone "melatonin" that helps you sleep. Moreover, sleeping with wet hair on your head can easily cause headaches and seriously affect the quality of your sleep.
4. It is not advisable to take a bath on an empty stomach
When taking a bath, people consume a lot of heat because the water transfers heat quickly, and the body's heat mainly comes from glucose in the blood. When you are hungry, the level of glucose in the blood is low and cannot meet energy needs, which can lead to hypoglycemia, fatigue, dizziness, palpitation, and even collapse, which can lead to danger.
5. It is not advisable to take a bath after a full meal
When you have just eaten, the human body must mobilize some blood from the whole body to the gastrointestinal tract to help digestion. Taking a bath immediately after a meal will cause blood to disperse to the limbs. Due to less blood flow in the digestive tract, it will affect the digestion and absorption of food, which may lead to indigestion, gastrointestinal diseases, nausea, vomiting, upper abdominal pain and other symptoms.
