What are the taboos for bathing in winter?

Taking a bath is something that everyone can do, but can you really take a bath? Many people will fall into the misunderstanding of bathing, especially in winter. Because it is very cold in winter, many people like to take a bath with very hot water. Actually, this is not right. Bathing with very hot water is not good for your health. It is recommended that friends master the correct bathing method.

1. What are the taboos for bathing in winter?

1, long hot water bath time

When the weather is cold in winter, many girls like to soak comfortably in hot water and are unwilling to leave. But this is not a good habit. Taking a bath for too long in winter will make the skin surface lose oil protection, cause symptoms such as dryness and itching, and also cause skin wrinkling and dehydration.

Moreover, people who bathe for a long time are prone to fatigue, heart ischemia and hypoxia, coronary artery spasm, thrombosis, and even serious arrhythmia and sudden death. In addition, if the bath time is too long, the blood supply to the head will be reduced accordingly, which will easily lead to cerebral ischemia and accidents.

Suggestion: Take a bath for 20 minutes and take a shower for 3 to 5 minutes.

2. The higher the bath temperature, the better.

In the cold winter, many people like to take a bath with very hot water, and even think that the hotter the water temperature, the higher the body heat. But the bath water temperature is too high, which will make your skin miserable.

Too high water temperature will destroy the oil on the skin surface, lead to telangiectasia and aggravate the dryness of the skin. At the same time, too high temperature will also increase the burden on the heart, because the blood vessels in the whole skin are obviously expanded, so that a large amount of blood flows to the whole skin, which will make the heart ischemic and hypoxic.

Suggestion: Water temperature is 24℃ to 29℃.

3, bathing on an empty stomach is easy to collapse

Back home, many people like to take a bath first and then sit down and enjoy dinner, but there are also health risks behind this behavior.

When taking a bath, because of the rapid heat transfer of water, people will consume a lot of heat, and the heat of the human body mainly comes from glucose in the blood. When hungry, the blood sugar level is low, which can not meet the energy demand, and it is prone to hypoglycemia, fatigue, dizziness, palpitation and even collapse.

Suggestion: Don't take a bath on an empty stomach, at least have a drink before taking a bath.

4, strong bath will stimulate the skin.

The skin is dry and fragile in winter. If you use a bath with strong cleaning ability, it will aggravate the damage to the protective layer of the skin and aggravate the skin problems.

When taking a bath in winter, choose a mild bath product to avoid irritating the skin. The bath we choose must be alkaline and neutral.

It is best to apply a layer of moisturizing skin care products after wooden fish. You must drink a lot of water every day. You can also put a basin of water in the room or use an air humidifier to increase the indoor humidity. If necessary, you can spray some water on your skin every few hours to keep it moist.

5, often take a bath, clean

Many people think that the more times you take a bath, the cleaner your body will be. However, with the coming of winter, the skin is becoming more and more dry and fragile, and skin itching is also easy to target these "bathing families". Some people even think that skin itching means that personal hygiene is not in place, so bathing is more diligent and thorough, but the degree of skin itching is aggravated.

Taking a bath too often will wash away the oil secreted by the skin surface and the protective flora that normally parasitize the skin surface, which will easily damage the stratum corneum of the skin, lead to itchy skin, weaken the skin's resistance and make it easy to get sick. Rubbing hard will also damage the fragile epidermis, and bacteria and fungi will take advantage of it and cause skin infection.

6. Bathing after meals aggravates heart ischemia.

Some women take a bath immediately after meals in order to save time, which is very dangerous. On the one hand, after each meal, the human body should transfer some blood from the whole body to the gastrointestinal tract to help digestion. Taking a bath immediately after a meal will affect the digestion and absorption of food because of the low blood flow in the digestive tract, cause gastrointestinal diseases, and induce symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and upper abdominal pain.

In addition, due to insufficient blood supply to the brain, heart and other parts, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents are easily induced. On the other hand, it will aggravate heart ischemia and even cause angina pectoris or sudden death.

Suggestion: The bath time should be about two hours after a meal or 1 hour before the next meal.

7. Pay attention to the order of bathing

The low temperature in winter makes the blood vessels of human skin contract, while the temperature of bath water in winter is relatively high. Warm water suddenly comes from the beginning, which will make the human body's regulatory system "unprepared", leading to the sudden expansion of blood vessels in the head and whole body, and a large amount of blood concentrated on the skin surface, leading to acute ischemia of important organs such as the heart and brain, dizziness, chest tightness and other discomforts will also come to the door.

Acute myocardial ischemia can lead to cardiovascular spasm, angina pectoris and even acute myocardial infarction. Acute cerebral ischemia is prone to "stroke" symptoms such as hemiplegia and aphasia; The blood pressure of patients with hypertension will suddenly drop, causing discomfort such as dizziness and palpitation, and even syncope.

Suggestion: The correct way to take a bath in winter is to wash your feet with hot water before taking a bath, and then slowly pour water on your body when your feet are warm, so that your body can have a gradual adaptation process.

8. Close the doors and windows when taking a shower.

Many people like to close the doors and windows when taking a bath in winter, so as to prevent the cold air from sneaking in. However, if you use a gas water heater to take a bath, this behavior can easily lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

Closed doors and windows lead to carbon monoxide poisoning every year. Taking a bath with a gas water heater is inherently risky. If it is not properly installed and maintained, it will bring danger, especially when taking a bath, which is very prone to carbon monoxide poisoning. Bathing in winter, doors and windows are better sealed, and people are prone to hypoxia and poisoning.

Suggestion: Don't close the doors and windows when taking a bath. Be sure to come and have a look, more than half an hour. Otherwise, poisoning for more than half an hour will be life-threatening.

Suggestion: Bathing in winter should not be too frequent, 2-3 times a week.

9. Go to bed after taking a shower

Don't fall asleep immediately after taking a shower, because the body temperature will rise after taking a shower, which is not conducive to the secretion of melatonin, a hormone that helps sleep. Sleeping with wet hair on a pillow is easy to have a headache, which seriously affects the quality of sleep.

10, you can't take a shower after strenuous exercise.

Taking a bath after strenuous exercise can easily lead to insufficient blood supply to the heart and brain. Don't take a bath immediately after work or fatigue.

1 1, don't take a shower immediately after drinking.

Never take a bath immediately after drinking, because when taking a bath, the glucose stored in the human body will be consumed in large quantities due to physical activity and accelerated blood circulation. Alcohol will inhibit the normal physiological function of the liver, so that the stored glycogen cannot be converted into glucose and replenished to the blood in time, thus significantly reducing the blood sugar content.

Taking a bath after drinking can easily lead to dizziness, dizziness, general weakness and other symptoms, and even cause shock in severe cases.

Suggestion: It is best to take a bath about 2 hours after drinking.

12, don't rush to take a bath before and after massage.

Massage can not only relieve fatigue and tension, but also relax muscles and tendons and refresh the mind. However, many friends who often massage ignore a question, that is, take a bath before massage or after massage?

People who like to take a bath before massage think it is convenient and quick to rest immediately after massage; People who take a bath immediately after massage think it is safer and healthier. In fact, these two methods are not desirable, because whether you are doing essential oil massage or aromatherapy SPA, the masseur uses nourishing or catharsis, and you can't take a bath for an hour before and after massage.

13, the protective layer of skin is damaged by the washcloth.

Don't use too many bath towels when taking a bath, especially don't use nylon. When rubbing the skin, it will destroy the protective layer of the skin, leading to minor trauma and skin diseases. Rubbing hard will also consume a lot of physical strength. Try not to take a bath when you have skin damage, so as not to aggravate the infection.

2. What are the benefits of bathing in winter?

1. Bathing is actually more than just an ordinary way to wash away dirt. In fact, bathing is often our fatigue and stress. People who insist on taking a bath every day must have the benefits of taking a bath. Bathing can not only moisturize the whole body skin, but also relieve fatigue.

People who often bathe have fewer mites.

Thirdly, bathing also releases people's pressure to some extent. Working or studying all day, all kinds of pressures are in my heart. Taking a bath at this time will release these pressures to some extent. Play a role in regulating body and mind.
