Take a bath and "touch yourself" to relieve fatigue

Action 1: Rub your face to relieve fatigue

Most people have this feeling: rubbing their face when they are tired will immediately make them feel refreshed. Because there are many facial muscles and sensitive nerves on the face, hot water can stimulate these nerves, and rubbing the face can accelerate blood flow and stretch the facial muscles. The speed of rubbing the face when taking a bath should be once per second, 3 to 5 times, and each time for no less than 3 minutes.

It should be noted that warm water at 40℃ is ideal for eliminating fatigue, because the normal armpit temperature of the human body is 37℃ and the body temperature is 40℃, which is closest to the human body temperature. If the water temperature is too high, more calories will be consumed, which will not eliminate fatigue but make you feel uncomfortable; if the water temperature is too low, blood vessels will constrict, making it difficult to eliminate fatigue.

Action 2: Deep breathing increases appetite

When you have a loss of appetite, you can take a bath 30 minutes before meals, use hot water to stimulate your stomach. After your body is warm, spray hot water around your chest, rinse for 5 seconds and rest for 1 minute, and repeat 5 times. You can take a bath in hot water for 20 to 30 minutes, while doing deep abdominal breathing (inhale through the nose, let the abdomen bulge, and then exhale through the mouth), and then use slightly cold water to stimulate the abdomen. This stimulation of cold and hot water can promote the secretion of gastric juice and increase appetite.

For people with excessive stomach acid, gastric and duodenal ulcers, soaking in hot water for 3 to 4 minutes can control the secretion of stomach acid, alleviate and control the condition. Therefore, although showering saves time, it only stimulates the surface of the skin, and the internal organs cannot obtain heat. It is best to take a shower in the morning, which can wake up the body and mind, so that you can devote yourself to work and study with full energy during the day. It is best to take a bath in the bathtub 1 to 2 hours before going to bed.

Action 3: Rub your belly to treat constipation

When taking a bath, you can use your palms to massage your abdomen in a clockwise direction, while breathing deeply as your abdomen expands and contracts, and showering your abdomen. This can treat chronic constipation and prevent hemorrhoids.

For neurogenic constipation, flush the intestines with 40℃ hot water for about 3 minutes, then with 25℃ warm water for 10 seconds, and repeat 5 times to increase the peristalsis of the large intestine.
