Is taking a bath good for your health?

When taking a bath, the body is soaked in water for a long time, and the old skin, dead skin and cuticles on the body will be softened. This is the best time to remove the old skin and cuticles on the body. Hurry up and pick up the bath towel and rub it well. When the body is soaked in hot water, the blood in the capillaries in the body will flow faster, and the body's heat and fat will also be burned faster. Therefore, taking a bath can also help beautify the body and lose weight. Let's take a brief look at whether taking a bath is good for the body.

1. Most people probably think that taking a bath can only cleanse the skin, but they don’t know that taking a bath has powerful health benefits. By taking a bath, the nerve cells in the skin can feel the stimulation of high temperature and pressure. These messages are transmitted to the brain. At this point the brain categorizes the perception. A series of transmission and guidance stimulates the deep circulation mechanism in the body. At this time, all cells in the body will be mobilized, thereby promoting circulation in the body, accelerating metabolism (commonly known as detoxification), consuming calories, and achieving the effect of improving physical fitness and reducing fat and weight. The high temperature of a bath has the same effect as a hot compress, which can also promote blood circulation, relax tense muscles, eliminate back pain and treat rheumatism.

In addition, once the body is relaxed, the mind will naturally be relatively relaxed. Therefore, taking a bath can relieve tension and help sleep for modern people who suffer from insomnia, anxiety or depression due to busy work. When the body and mind are in good condition, the body's resistance will naturally increase. Therefore, as long as you make good use of the bath recipe, you don't have to worry about the threat of colds, SARS or other diseases even in the gradually cooler autumn and winter. The high temperature during bathing can also remove dirt and old keratin cells on the skin. Combined with post-bath care, it can make the skin more hydrated. If you massage your body while taking a bath, it can also effectively achieve the purpose of breast enhancement and body shaping! .

2. Medical experts remind people that taking a bath too frequently will damage the skin, and the resulting skin itching is difficult to avoid. Because the outermost layer of human skin is the stratum corneum, there will not be much skin dirt mixed with the automatically shed stratum corneum and skin sweat. Washing this part every day can have a certain protective effect on the skin. If you bathe too frequently, the stratum corneum will be damaged and its function of protecting the skin will be lost. The moisture in the skin cells will evaporate more easily and the skin will become dry. According to traditional Chinese medicine, "dryness creates wind, and wind causes itching." "Wind" here refers to a cause of disease that wanders around in the body, causing itchy skin.

3. Wrong habits increase the severity of itching. Many people who take a bath every day have this experience: itching often comes at inappropriate times. For example, when you are in a meeting, driving or meeting with clients, you may suddenly feel an itch in a certain part of your body, but it is inconvenient to scratch it at that time, so you can only bear it. Once you get home or are alone, you will scratch it immediately. You always feel that it will feel good only when the skin is broken. However, scratching too hard will cause small bumps on the skin. Some people are used to scalding the itchy parts with hot water, thinking that this can relieve some of the pain.

4. However, these methods of relieving itching are incorrect and will cause greater damage to the skin to varying degrees, and will aggravate the itching. Moreover, it is easy for bacteria and parasites to colonize, and even cause skin inflammation, ulcers and other diseases. So, whenever this happens, the best way is to use a cold compress soaked in cold water to relieve the itching.

The above briefly introduces the question of whether taking a bath is good for the body. The ultimate and greatest benefit of taking a bath is to cleanse the body. Cleansing the body removes bacteria from the skin surface, making us healthier. Cleansing the body removes body odor, helping us better integrate into society. We also need to develop a habit of eating properly in our daily lives.
