Most people know that physical health is closely related to many different habits in life as well as diet... Therefore, to be healthy and prolong life, we need to pay more attention and adjust and change bad habits in time.

Bathing is something we all do every day, but is this daily body hygiene habit really good for our health?

Body hygiene is essential in daily life. Because it is done regularly, we need knowledge to protect our bodies in the best way. Due to subjectivity, many people still have harmful misconceptions when it comes to body hygiene.

Here are 5 bathing mistakes that can harm our health and reduce our lifespan.

1. Water temperature is too high

Many people like to use water that is too hot when bathing, because the temperature of the water can warm up the whole body. But in fact, this is very wrong, if the water temperature is too high when bathing, it will cause the blood vessels to dilate.

In addition, high temperatures will also take away too much oil from the skin's surface, making skin that is already dry in winter even drier, even itchy and cracked.

When bathing in hot water, the blood vessels on the skin surface dilate, blood rushes to the skin, and the blood supply to the brain and internal organs will be relatively reduced. If the bath water temperature is too high, the brain and internal organs may suffer from ischemia, leading to palpitations, chest tightness, dizziness and other discomfort, and may even cause severe hypotension and even stroke.

Therefore, people with underlying diseases such as high blood pressure or cardiovascular disease should not bathe in water that is too hot, but should only adjust it to a moderately warm level.

2. Take a shower after waking up

In the morning, when you wake up, your body is still not fully awake. At this time, many people choose to take a bath. This can make the whole body full of energy and stimulate the brain. But in fact, taking a bath right after waking up is really not good for your health, it can easily cause dizziness, even hypoglycemic shock.

My advice to you is to take a shower, eat breakfast after waking up and take a shower when your body and mind have recovered.

3. Take a bath right after eating

In summer or in some areas where it is hot all year round, after eating, many people will sweat profusely. Taking a bath after eating will help the body feel much more comfortable.

However, after eating is the time when most of the blood in our body is concentrated in the stomach. Bathing at this time will cause the blood vessels in the whole body to dilate, which will increase the amount of blood circulating in the skin and muscles, greatly affecting digestion, causing indigestion and other symptoms.

4. Shower immediately after exercise

After exercising, the capillaries in our body are still dilated. If we take a bath right away, it will cause cold air to penetrate, easily causing mold to enter the body, which is very harmful to health.

Under normal circumstances, people should keep the water temperature in the bathtub at body temperature, preferably between 35 and 37 degrees. The dangers of high water temperature have been explained to everyone above, and this misunderstanding must be avoided in daily life.

5. Over-cleaning

Depending on the weather, the skin can be dry and fragile, if using a shower gel with strong cleaning ability will damage the skin's protective layer and aggravate skin problems. In fact, just rinsing with water can remove about 65% of dirt on the skin.

So when buying shower gel products, try to choose products that are weakly acidic and non-irritating.

Excessive rubbing of the body surface should not be done under any circumstances, as this can lead to skin damage, loss of an intact skin barrier and significantly increase the risk of microbial contamination.

When bathing, you should note not to scrub too much, in fact our skin does not have that much dirt. Many people often rub their bodies vigorously every time they bathe, this can rub and peel off protective layers such as the stratum corneum and lipid membrane on the skin, causing our skin to be exposed to external stimuli, which is very bad for health.

In addition, if you take a bath in the morning, you should take a bath about half an hour after eating. If you want to take a bath before going to bed at night, you should take a bath two hours before going to bed, because your body temperature will increase immediately after taking a bath, which is not good for falling asleep. Our sleep usually comes when our body temperature drops, and it is difficult to fall asleep immediately after taking a bath.
