What are the dangers of taking a bath?

Maybe everyone only knows that taking a bath has many benefits. It can not only relieve fatigue, but also improve sleep quality and relieve some physical discomfort. Little do people know that if the bathing method is not correct, it will in turn affect the health of the body, and even cause some discomfort reactions such as dizziness and vomiting. In short, we still need to be vigilant about this. So what are the hazards of bathing?

1. Frequent bathing will wash away the little sebum on the human body surface. The less sebum, the drier the skin, which is more likely to cause dermatitis and will not be able to protect your skin.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

Through the above introduction, everyone is clear about the harm of taking a bath. When taking a bath, you must pay attention to the correct method and technique. The bathing time should not be too long, otherwise it will not only easily lead to dehydration, but also cause physical weakness. In addition, after taking a bath, you should not only pay attention to replenishing water, but also prevent catching cold, so as not to cause hidden dangers to your health.
