Is it okay to take a shower with hot water first and then cold water in winter?

Many people don’t like to use cold water when taking a bath in winter because the weather is cold. They all take hot baths, but some people have the habit of taking a bath with hot water first and then cold water. Is this good? Does this method have any adverse factors on health? In fact, the way of bathing varies from person to person. Whether it is hot water or cold water, you need to choose the bathing method according to your personal situation.

① For those who have never taken a cold shower before, if they suddenly take a cold shower, their blood vessels will constrict, their body temperature will drop, and their body will get cold, leading to a cold. Therefore, taking cold showers should start in the summer and continue from summer and autumn to winter, and it is best not to interrupt during this period.

② It is best not to wash the head and face when taking a cold shower, because the respiratory system is concentrated there, which is easy to be affected by cold and cause respiratory diseases. The head should be kept dry when taking a cold shower.

③Because the water in the north is freezing cold in winter, unlike the water in the south which is not very low in temperature. If you take a shower with very cold water for a long time, your skin will get frostbite and frostbite. Therefore, the duration of a cold shower should vary according to the person, time and place. The time should not be too long. The lower the temperature, the shorter the bath time. In winter, wash for a maximum of 3-5 minutes. And after bathing, you should use a dry towel to dry your body and remove redness.

④ Taking a cold shower should be done under the premise of being in good health. If there is inflammation or fever, you should stop taking it and wait until your body recovers before doing cold water exercise again.

⑤ Due to their special physiological reasons, women should not take cold showers.

Having the perseverance to persevere is very good for your body! I heard that washing with cold water, then washing with hot water, and then washing with cold water repeatedly can greatly improve a person's resistance and other qualities, and it is not easy to catch a cold.

This is not contradictory to taking a cold shower, because taking a cold shower is under human control. Under conditions that people can tolerate, it can maximize people's ability to adapt to cold weather and enhance their physical fitness. This is like what we usually say to have less contact with germs, but under controllable conditions, we can input artificially processed germs into the human body to obtain the maximum immune effect. The principle is the same, and moderation is very important.

If someone takes a shower with hot water first and then cold water, is it okay? In fact, this is a very good practice and the effect is also very good, but you need to choose the appropriate bathing method according to each person's situation. Some women should pay attention to cold showers due to their own physiological factors. Cold showers are good for health for many people, but people with weak bodies are an exception.
