6 Bath Time Mistakes

When you take a shower after a full meal, the blood vessels on the skin of your entire body will be stimulated by the hot water and dilate, more blood will flow to the surface of the body, and the blood supply to the abdominal cavity will be relatively reduced, which will affect digestion and absorption, cause hypoglycemia, and even collapse and fainting.
