Recent weather in Wenzhou
It's already hot enough -
When a boy goes out, he immediately becomes a "warm man"
When girls go out, it is difficult to keep makeup
Such a degree
Get home and take a shower
It is a commonly used way to beat the heat
However, you know what?
Showering and bathing is something you do every day
Unexpected dangers can also arise
The Liaoshen Evening News once reported that a 40-year-old man went to take a cold shower immediately after running in the hot summer, which caused a myocardial infarction and fell in the bathroom and was never rescued.
The Legal Evening News has also reported a similar case, a 19-year-old young man suddenly suffered cardiac arrest while chatting with colleagues after taking a bath in the summer, and although his heartbeat was briefly restored after the rescue of colleagues on the scene, he was not rescued in the end.
Take a good bath, why is there an accident? The following reasons must be taken seriously!
01
The temperature of the bath is not right
In order to protect the skin, the water temperature should not be too high, should be close to the body temperature, generally 35 °C ~ 40 °C warm water is appropriate.
If the water temperature is too high, it will expand the epidermal blood vessels of the whole body, reduce the blood flow of the heart and brain, and cause hypoxia; If the water temperature is too low, the skin pores will suddenly close, the blood vessels will shrink suddenly, and sweating will be blocked to dissipate heat.
In summer, some people especially like to take cold showers, but it is easy to cause accidents when they suddenly enter the cold shower environment from a hot environment. So, don't take another cool shower because of your momentary coldness.
02
The timing of the bath is not right
1. Bathe after mental work
In daily life, many people like to take a bath to "wake up" after "brainstorming", however, it should be noted that it is not advisable to take a bath immediately after mental work, and should take a break before washing.
This is because the brain runs at high speed during mental work, and the demand for blood is very large. If you take a bath immediately, the blood will transfer to the skin on the surface of the body. During the bathing process, the body surface has a large demand for blood, which is likely to immediately cause a rapid decrease in blood supply to the brain, causing insufficient blood supply and leading to syncope.
2. Bathe after drinking alcohol
The stimulation of alcohol and hot water will cause the expansion of blood vessels on the body surface, a large amount of blood will be transferred from the internal organs to the body surface, and important organs such as the brain, heart, and kidney will be ischemic and hypoxic, which can easily induce angina and myocardial infarction. The elderly must be vigilant.
3. Take a shower immediately after exercise
Because the body is stimulated by hot water, it will cause the blood vessels of the muscles and skin to dilate, further increasing the blood flow to the muscles and skin, resulting in insufficient blood supply to other organs, especially the heart and brain.
Especially for people with high blood pressure or coronary heart disease, once it causes severe blood supply to the heart and brain, it is likely to lead to acute attacks of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular system diseases.
4. Take a bath when you have a cold
When the elderly have a cold and are weak, bathing is prone to accidents, must wait for the body to recover before bathing, must take a bath, to be under the care of the family.
5. Take a shower immediately after meals
Because one hour after meals, blood is mainly concentrated in the gastrointestinal tract, bathing at this time will exacerbate cardiac ischemia.
03
The time to take a shower is not right
Some people have the habit of bathing "soaking in water". It's good to love cleanliness, but taking a long bath is not good for the body. The bathing time is best controlled within 30 minutes, and the elderly, children and cardiovascular patients should not exceed 20 minutes.
Too long a time will cause the sympathetic nerve to be excited for a long time, the heartbeat and blood pressure will rise, resulting in an increased burden on the heart.
04
The order of bathing is not correct
What should I do first in the shower? Shampoo? Wrong!
If you wash your hair first, it is easy to lead to poor blood circulation in the head caused by alternating stimulation of cold and heat, and induce cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, it is recommended to rinse with hot water for a while, and then wash your hair when your body adapts.
Washing the body is also sequential, starting with the limbs away from the heart and then washing the torso. Remember not to use a towel repeatedly to rub on the skin in order to overcleanse, you are washing the skin not the iron, otherwise it is easy to damage the skin, so that the skin keratinization layer falls off, and the skin will be drier.
05
Wrong preparation before bathing
Before bathing, it is best to drink a cup of hot water to keep the body warm and avoid thirst caused by sweat loss during bathing.
Finally, I would like to remind everyone that it is also necessary to ensure that the bathroom is ventilated. Because the closed environment of high temperature and high humidity may cause people to have chest tightness, shortness of breath, dizziness and other discomforts. Also, be extra careful about slippery ground, slipping and falling!
