Taking a shower is more important than taking off clothes

Taking a bath is something we do often, but it seems that everyone is very casual when taking a bath and doesn’t care about the way they take a bath. In fact, bathing also requires scientific methods. If the order or method of bathing is incorrect, it will also cause harm to our health. Here I will explain to you some knowledge about bathing.

Taking a bath is more important than taking off clothes.

Haha, the topic of bathing is so common, but how many people know that there is one thing you must know before bathing?

Taking a bath is such a happy thing. It can be compared with exercise. It makes people relax and is equivalent to more than a thousand meters of exercise.

The water used for bathing cleans the dirt on the surface of the body, and the internal organs of the human body also need water to be cleaned.

The essential common sense for bathing is: drink water before bathing!

Many elderly people feel dizzy after taking a bath, and some even faint in the bathroom. Why?

Hot water causes the subcutaneous capillaries throughout the body to dilate. If the body cannot adjust well, it will suddenly cause low blood pressure. Then the body will adjust the heart rate to speed up. If the blood pressure cannot be raised, the person will faint.

A stroke after taking a shower or after going to the toilet early in the morning are both caused by inconspicuous dehydration. As we age, the string becomes less accurate and blood vessel regulation cannot keep up.

The first thing you must do before taking a bath is to drink water.

One more thing: The old man takes a bath while sitting down!

Let me say it again: hydrate before bathing, and then bathe after hydrating!

Some people say drink eight glasses of water a day. How big is the glass? A wine glass? A teacup? Or a teapot?

According to body weight, in addition to food, supplement 20 ml to 40 ml per kilogram of body weight per day, at least 20 ml, and 40 ml or more for high-intensity exercise. A 50 kg person should drink at least two bottles of mineral water a day. This does not include drinking water before taking a bath.

Remember

In order to prevent stroke, the elderly must drink water before taking a bath, especially in winter. Be sure to tell the elderly at home to drink some water before taking a bath!

Healthy bathing method

What should men pay attention to when taking a bath? Sometimes taking a bath can also bring health, it is not only for cleaning the body.

1 Whole body

The bather should lie on his back and soak in a tub or a specially designed mineral bath, with the water preferably at nipple level. The time depends on the situation. The water temperature should be above 42℃, and the bathing time should be 10-20 minutes;

35-37℃, soaking time can be more than 1 hour. Regardless of the length of time, you can use underwater massage, also known as bath massage, or you can use a soft brush to gently brush the area.

2 Half Body

The bather sits half-way in the tub or pool, with the water level at navel or waist level as needed, and soaks in the mineral spring. Cover your upper body with a large towel to avoid getting cold.

3. Shower

It refers to using a special water pipe to spray a certain part of the body to achieve the purpose of treating the disease.

The nozzle should be about 20 cm away from the skin, and gradually moved to 15 cm. The water temperature should be between 40 and 50°C. Spray for 5 minutes each time, followed by a 10-minute bath. Nowadays, some showers spray water onto the body from different directions, which is actually a kind of "massage" for the acupoints. There are two benefits of showering: one is to prevent cross infection; the other is to "massage" the acupoints. In today's surfing bath, water rushes towards the human body from different directions, which also serves as a 'massage' for the acupuncture points. The advantage of a bathtub is that you can add decocted Chinese herbs.

4. Massage in the bath

Soak in the bathtub for five to six minutes while massaging your body. The pressure of still water and the buoyancy of water can be used to move the limbs and affected areas. When bathing, you can combine it with massage, such as rubbing your back. The best tool for back scrubbing is loofah, which is a traditional Chinese medicine that has the effect of promoting blood circulation and activating blood circulation. There is also pumice in traditional Chinese medicine, which, like a coarse grinding wheel, has the effect of removing phlegm. Especially for the elderly, on the one hand, because it is relatively hard, it can rub off the thick skin on the heels, and on the other hand, it can eliminate phlegm and reduce phlegm. These natural bathing utensils are better than today's chemical fiber bath towels.
