Take a shower at three times and be careful not to die

On the one hand, many accidents among the elderly happen while taking a bath. Experts say that the elderly should never take a bath immediately after a meal, or when they are hungry, to avoid accidents. On the other hand, young people should also change the habit of taking a bath after meals.

Just after a meal, the human digestive system starts working, a large amount of blood accumulates in the stomach, and other organs are in a state of relative ischemia. If you take a bath at this time, blood vessels throughout the body will dilate, blood flow to the skin and muscles will increase, and the stomach will not have enough blood, which will affect digestion. Many elderly people suffer from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Staying in a closed, oxygen-deficient environment for a long time can easily cause brain and heart ischemia, or even sudden death. It is even more dangerous to take a bath when you are hungry. Your blood sugar will drop and you may faint easily.

It is recommended that you take a bath 1-2 hours after a meal, and each bath should not last more than half an hour. In addition, people with poor physical fitness and the elderly are best to take a bath at noon in winter, when the temperature inside and outside the bathroom is the closest during the day, making it less likely to catch a cold.

When the weather gets cold, many people like to drink alcohol to warm themselves up. Because the blood vessels in the head and face will expand rapidly after drinking, if you pour water on your head at this time, the blood vessels will contract, making you easily feel dizzy, have black eyes or vomit. Currently is the peak period for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Special attention should be paid to keeping the head warm. Do not go outside to be blown by cold wind after drinking, and do not take a shower or wash your hair immediately. After washing your hair, dry it promptly with a hair dryer.
