Matters needing attention in bathing
1, full or empty stomach is not suitable for bathing.
After every meal, the human body transfers some blood from the whole body to the stomach to help digestion. Taking a bath immediately after a meal, on the one hand, will aggravate heart ischemia, even angina pectoris or sudden death; On the other hand, due to the decrease of blood flow in digestive tract, it will affect the digestion and absorption of food and induce symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and epigastric pain.
Matters needing attention in bathing
2. Keep warm before and after bathing.
Keep warm during and after bathing, especially for the frail elderly. Before taking a bath, the temperature in the bathroom should not be cold after undressing. After taking a shower, dry your whole body with a dry towel and put on your clothes as soon as possible.
3. Selection and use of soap
Don't use too much soap, just wipe it once after taking a shower. Too much soap will irritate the skin and cause itching. People with dry skin, the elderly and children are suitable to use fatty soap, but not alkaline soap or hot water, so as to avoid washing off sebum, making the skin drier and even wrinkled. Some people have greasy skin and can use neutral or alkaline soap.
Step 4 reduce the number of baths
You can appropriately reduce the number of baths, such as once every other day or twice a week. Too many baths will wash off all the oil normally secreted on the skin surface and the protective flora normally parasitic on the skin surface, which will easily cause itching of the skin, weaken the skin's resistance and make it easy to get sick. You can't choose to take a bath after a meal 1 hour, but before the next meal 1 hour. Drinking a cup of warm water before taking a hot bath can replenish the whole body's blood volume. Taking a bath on an empty stomach is prone to hypoglycemia, fatigue, dizziness, palpitation and even collapse.
