Can I take a sauna when I have a fever?

Friends who like to go to the sauna need to pay attention to some taboos. Generally speaking, it is not suitable to go to the sauna when you have a fever. Also, you should not go to the sauna when you are fasting or weak, so as not to cause collapse and cause cerebral anemia shock.

1. You cannot take a sauna. Do not take a sauna on an empty stomach to avoid collapse. It is not advisable to take a sauna after overusing your brain or doing strenuous exercise, as it may cause cerebral anemia or shock.

2. It is not suitable to take a sauna within half an hour after a full meal. This is because the high temperature causes the blood vessels in the skin to dilate and a large amount of blood to reflux, thus affecting the blood supply to the digestive organs and hindering the digestion and absorption of food.

3. Do not come into contact with cold air immediately after taking a sauna to prevent a stroke caused by severe contraction of blood vessels due to the large temperature difference.

4. When taking a sauna, be sure to drink plenty of water to avoid heat exhaustion. It is best to drink two glasses of boiled water before taking a sauna, which can enhance blood circulation and replenish water faster. It is also necessary to replenish water in time during the steaming process. It is best to carry a bottle of water with you and do not wait until you are thirsty to drink.

5. People with colds should not take a sauna. Because bacteria such as Cryptococcus hidden in the sauna can enter the human body through the respiratory tract and easily cause pneumonia.

6. Do not wear jewelry when taking a sauna. Jade pendants, necklaces, watches, etc. are very easy to absorb heat and can burn your skin if you are not careful.

7. Elderly people whose body's isothermal regulation center is not very sensitive are not suitable for taking a sauna. In a sauna room, the body sweats a lot, the blood becomes viscous, and it is easy to form blood clots, leading to various cardiovascular emergencies. Especially for the elderly, their body temperature regulation center is not very sensitive, so they are not suitable for steam sauna.

8. Do not apply cosmetics such as lotion when taking a sauna, as it will clog the pores and prevent sweat from evaporating.

9. Do not take a sauna when you are overly tired or hungry. When people are tired or hungry, their muscle tone is poor and their tolerance to cold and heat stimulation is reduced, which can easily lead to collapse when taking a sauna bath.
