The advantages and disadvantages of bathing

Taking a bath can relieve fatigue and dredge the meridians. Taking a hot bath after work is what many people hope for. But many people don’t know that taking a bath can also help you lose weight. However, if you take a bath for too long, it may cause hypoxia and be detrimental to blood circulation. The bathing time should not be too long, and it is best to pay attention to ventilation. Do not stay in a confined space for too long, otherwise you may faint.

Hot baths can not only eliminate physical fatigue, but taking hot baths regularly is also a good way to keep fit.

benefit:

1. Since people in the workplace have no time to do other exercises, many of them are in a sub-healthy state. Taking a bath saves time and is convenient. It is a good choice to relieve fatigue and promote body metabolism.

2. As living standards improve, there are more obese people, and taking a bath can effectively help lose weight. Because water accounts for about 60% of the human body. Once a person becomes fat, the proportion of fat will increase, but the absolute amount of water is still the largest. Water can be easily excreted from the body as sweat through bathing, thus causing a person to lose weight. Taking a bath to lose weight is a simple and effective method among many weight loss methods.

3. Sweating to lose weight not only reduces water in the body, but also consumes the calories taken away when sweat evaporates. Bathing can also make your skin hydrated.

4. Because bathing can promote metabolism, accelerate hormone secretion and make the skin more beautiful. Especially when women take a bath, hormones will be transported from the blood to the skin surface, promoting whitening of muscles and hydrated skin.

harm:

1. Avoid misunderstandings when taking a bath to eliminate physiological fatigue.

Perhaps some people think that taking a hot bath after physical exercise can relieve fatigue. This seems to be recognized by everyone. In fact, this practice is unscientific.

2. As muscles contract during exercise, the amount of exercise gradually increases. In order to adapt to the needs of exercise, the heart rate speeds up and the blood flow to the muscles and heart also increases. After exercise, the faster heart rate and blood flow will continue for a period of time.

3. If you take a hot bath immediately at this time, it will cause the blood vessels in the muscles and skin to dilate, and the blood flow to the muscles and skin will continue to increase. The remaining blood in the body will not be enough to supply other organs, especially the heart and brain.

4. For young and healthy people, organ hypoxia may only cause some dizziness and recovery after a short rest, but it is very dangerous for patients with hypertension.

5. Once the heart and brain are deprived of oxygen, it may induce an acute attack of cardiovascular disease. Patients with hypertension should never take a hot bath immediately after exercise. They should rest for a while and then choose a warm shower. The shower time should be short, within five to ten minutes. Taking a bath is good, but not too often. Taking a bath every day or multiple times a day will be counterproductive. One obvious side effect is that you are more likely to get rheumatism. Also, female comrades should not wash their hair during menstruation to avoid heat dissipating from the head and being exposed to the wind.
