Recently, some media articles said that you must not wash your hair first when taking a bath, otherwise you will die. After taking a bath for so many years, I have always followed the principle of "from top to bottom".
Why can’t you wash your hair first when taking a bath? Today we will explain in detail.
Why can’t you wash your hair first when taking a bath?
Entering autumn, the temperature drops and the weather turns cooler, but for patients with cardiovascular diseases, entering autumn means that danger is coming again.
After autumn, the temperature drops, causing the human blood vessel wall to slightly contract and make the blood vessels brittle. This has no effect on healthy people, but for patients with cardiovascular disease, their blood pressure is high, the blood vessels are narrow, and the contraction of the blood vessel walls has a sharp increase in the risk factor. When you wash your hair first in autumn and winter, blood will suddenly gather on the head, which will cause poor blood flow to the head, which may cause cardiovascular disease patients to cause unexpected results.
Therefore, the statement of "washing your hair first will cause you to die" is a bit horrible. For people with good health, as long as the water temperature is moderate, it doesn’t matter if they wash their hair first. For patients with cardiovascular diseases, they need to wash their limbs first and then wash their hair.
How harmful are the cardiovascular diseases?
Cardiac disease deaths account for more than 40% of the disease deaths in our country, surpassing cancer and becoming the "number one killer". It has a high incidence, high disability rate, high mortality rate, high recurrence rate, and many complications, which are extremely harmful to health.
has a high incidence rate
According to the "China Cardiovascular Disease Report 2017" released by the National Cardiovascular Disease Center , the number of cardiovascular disease patients in my country has reached 290 million.
mortality rate is high
my country has millions of deaths from cardiovascular diseases every year.
has a high disability rate
Among patients with cardiovascular disease, about 75% have lost their labor capacity to varying degrees, and 40% are severely disabled patients.
recurrence rate is high
Take cerebral stroke as an example. The recurrence rate of patients with cerebral stroke in my country in the first year after they are discharged from the hospital is 30%, and the recurrence rate in the fifth year can be as high as 59%.
How should patients with cardiovascular disease take a correct bath?
Autumn and winter are the high incidence of cardiovascular diseases, such as myocardial infarction, coronary heart disease and atherosclerosis. In the autumn, cardiovascular patients need to pay attention to the following points when taking a bath.
1
Bathing order: You should wash your face first, then rinse your limbs, wait until your body adapts, then rinse your torso, and finally wash your hair.
2
It is not advisable to take a bath on an empty stomach or full stomach: It is not advisable to take a bath on an empty stomach or within 1 hour after meals.
3
Choose the appropriate water temperature: The temperature is moderate, and it should not be too high or too low.
4
The bathing time should not be too long: should be controlled for about 20 minutes, and the indoor ventilation should be ensured to avoid excessive water vapor to cause hypoxia.
5
Be careful to keep warm: After washing, use a dry towel to dry your whole body as soon as possible, put on your clothes, and dry your hair to prevent cold.
6
Prevent slipping: Be careful when taking a bath to avoid slipping.
How can patients with cardiovascular disease "safely spend the winter"?
Cardiac disease patients should take precautions for cardiovascular disease in autumn and winter, mainly starting from changing lifestyles, controlling blood pressure, and reasonable diet.
1
Healthy lifestyle: A study pointed out that compared with those who smoke, people who successfully quit smoking have a 25% lower risk of stroke , while myocardial infarction has a 67% lower risk. Therefore, quitting smoking is important for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases.
2
Control blood pressure: Since the blood pressure of patients with hypertension is slightly higher in autumn and winter than in spring and summer, patients with cardiovascular diseases must regularly monitor changes in blood pressure and follow up regularly. If there is fluctuation in blood pressure, seek medical treatment in time.
3
Light diet: Research report shows that people with higher levels of trans fat in the diet have a higher risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease.
Patients with cardiovascular disease should avoid high-fat, high-salt, high-sugar, high-uric acid foods and too much tonic. They should choose light and less salty foods, eat more vegetables and fruits, and avoid overfilling.
4
Pay attention to keeping warm: The elderly suffer from physiological functions, weaken their disease resistance, weaken their adaptability to the weather, and cardiovascular diseases are more likely to occur or recur. Therefore, you must pay attention to changes in weather and warm weather and add or remove clothes at any time.
5
Reasonable exercise and weight control: Patients with cardiovascular disease should try to avoid morning exercises and exercise during periods of higher temperatures. For example, at noon or afternoon, they should arrange exercise time reasonably and control their weight, but avoid strenuous sports such as mountaineering and fast running.
6
Keep a calm mind: Patients with cardiovascular diseases should relax their minds and not let their emotions fluctuate too much.
Warm reminder
Cardiovascular disease is very harmful to the body, we cannot ignore it, we must prevent it seriously. If you find any abnormal symptoms in the body, especially when you have symptoms such as shortness of breath, palpitations, and shortness of breath, you need to go to the hospital in time.
