People want to take a cold bath to relieve the dryness and heat of the whole body after sports and when sweating heavily. But Sun Shuxia, the chief expert of health education guidance of the Ministry of Health, said that taking a cold bath at this time would easily endanger health.
Don't take a bath immediately after exercise Sun Shuxia, the chief expert of health education guidance of the Ministry of Health, said, "After exercise, when the body emits a lot of heat when sweating heavily, the sweat glands and capillaries of the whole body are in an open state. Sudden bathing with cold water will make the capillaries shrink urgently, and the blood supply in the body decreases rapidly, resulting in faster heartbeat, higher blood pressure, muscle contraction, nervous tension, etc. It is also easy to cause cold 、 dizzy 、 syncope Sometimes it can cause intracranial hemorrhage, myocardial infarction, etc. " In contrast, taking a warm bath after exercise not only helps the body to sweat out, but also helps to volatilize heat in the body, which is also a kind of relaxation and massage of the whole body.
Sun Shuxia also suggested not to take a bath immediately after exercise. You should take a bath after your heart rate returns to a calm state, and you should supplement nutrients and water, and take a bath after a full rest to avoid collapse. (Reporter Qian Yuyang)
