Summer is here, and it's the season of sweating a lot every day! Especially for male friends who like sports and fitness, the sweat of the whole body is not only wet, but the smell of sweat makes people shy away! Many people choose to take a cool shower to cool off, but you know what? Many ideas are habitual but not necessarily correct! Do you really need to take a shower every day? Do you think you can wash your whole body with a shower gel? Someone would choose a cleansing product that has an exfoliating function, does it really work? Are you also misled by some wrong notions? Let's challenge your bathing cold knowledge together! Photo Credit: Chilli Head CC BY 2.0 One, sweat profusely after exercising, come and take a cold shower! is this correct? After exercising, I was sweating profusely and my whole body was sticky.
At this time, there is no better time than to take a shower immediately! But you know what? When we are exercising, our heartbeat and breathing will speed up, blood circulation will also speed up, and blood flow to the muscles and heart will increase. When you stop exercising, the blood flow and heartbeat need to gradually slow down before returning to the state before exercise, so it is correct to take a short rest before showering. And taking a hot bath immediately after exercising is quite dangerous. Some people will experience dizziness, general weakness, and in number list severe cases, blood pressure may drop, collapse or even fainting. The correct concept should be to rest for 15-30 minutes depending on individual conditions after exercising. After the heartbeat, breathing, and blood circulation gradually return to normal, you can prepare to take a shower in the bathroom. And it is recommended that a warm shower is the best way, not too hot or too cold, and not to stay in a closed bathroom space for too long to avoid fainting. Photo Credit.

The amount of time we spend in the shower actually affects our health! For example, some people are used to taking a bath in the morning, but if they take a bath without having breakfast, it is easy to cause dizziness. Some people are used to taking a bath at night, and also remind you not to fall asleep immediately after taking a bath, because taking a hot bath before going to bed will cause the body temperature to rise, inhibit the secretion of melatonin in the brain, and make it difficult for people to fall asleep. Therefore, it is recommended that the best bathing time should be about two hours before going to bed, which is the most appropriate. Photo Credit: ricardo CC BY 2.0 3.
