Taking a bath, as an activity that each of us must experience, seems to us to be very common, and everyone has become familiar with bathing, and feels that they know everything about bathing.
Especially with the development of society, everyone has begun to pay more and more attention to personal hygiene, and some people who have a habit of cleanliness even have to take a bath several times a day, they think that this is the most clean and hygienic.
But in fact, most people don't know that this way may not be really good for the body, in addition to this, there are several major misunderstandings when everyone takes a bath, many people are doing this, is there you?
Bathing culture
From our history, since human beings have the concept of privacy, the matter of bathing has been engraved into the bone marrow, and the way of bathing is also very different with different times.
Nowadays, we use things such as shower gel and soap when we take a bath, and with the difference between showers and sitz baths, we can take a bath indoors in a leisurely manner, which greatly ensures privacy.
But in ancient times, bathing was not so convenient, most of the time due to the constraints of the environment, the ancients would choose to bathe in the river closer to home according to local conditions, but later with the development of social civilization, the way of bathing barrel gradually appeared.
If there is a hot spring, it will become a popular bathing place for many people, and the purpose of bathing in ancient times is to cleanse the body on the one hand, and to prevent the invasion of diseases on the other hand.
Because the conditions for bathing in the ancients are limited, it is not as convenient as we take a bath now, and the hair of the ancients is very long, it is very troublesome to wash once, and it will not dry immediately after washing, and it is not like we have a hair dryer, which can only be dried naturally.
This series of processes takes a long time, and it is not possible to complete it in a short time, so there is a rest day.
However, the interval between their baths is too long, and the civilians do not have such good bathing conditions, and lice abound on their heads, so they often use a medicated bath or incense to expel lice and other microorganisms.
In the Yuan Dynasty, Hangzhou's bathing culture was also described in "Marco Polo's Travels" and "Pu Tongshi Proverbs", at that time, there were already various services for bathing, and there were all kinds of head and pedicures, which was an ultimate enjoyment.
In the Song and Tang dynasties, due to the economic prosperity, showers and various hot springs began to appear, and the culture of bathing was further developed, and it was a very popular way of enjoyment among the wealthy.
Later, after the development of the Ming and Qing dynasties, combined with the spread of civilization in Western countries, it gradually became the current form, and now almost every household can take a bath very conveniently, and there are also shower gels and other things to replace the honey locusts in ancient times for bathing.
When it is more convenient to take a bath, more people like to take a bath, and taking a bath has become a common thing, everyone will come into contact with it, and everyone is used to it.
But in life, there will still be many people who have some misunderstandings about bathing, and using the wrong bathing method to take a bath all year round will cause damage to the body in the long run, so what are the misunderstandings?
The water temperature is too high or too low
When taking a bath, some people like to take a hot bath, some people like to take a cold bath, this is up to the individual's choice, but one thing remains the same is to choose the right bath temperature according to the weather and temperature, the water temperature should not be too high or too low.
If it is summer, taking a cool shower can be considered, after all, summer is the hottest time of the year, and after the heat, you can take a cold shower and go to bed, which is the most comfortable thing.
If it is in winter, you must not take a bath with cold water, the temperature is very low in winter, and the human body will mobilize all the cells that can keep out the cold to resist the cold, and then take a cold shower at this time will have a certain amount of harm to the body.
It will put the body in a very low environment, and the body is already very cold, and if you take a bath with cold water at this time, the capillaries on the human body will always be in a state of stimulation and tightness, and will continue to contract.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the reason why people are healthy is because of the harmony of yin and yang and the sufficiency of yin and yang, which is also the law of life summed up by the ancients.
In winter, it is the time when people close their yang energy, the purpose is to keep people from doing strenuous activities, so as to keep the yang energy in the human body sufficient, so that the yang energy will not be insufficient when it is needed.
Once the yang energy is insufficient, the body's immune system will decline, so that the body has no protective barrier, and the heart will beat faster, and then there will be a risk of colds and other risks, which will affect people's health.
Therefore, people who are not used to taking cold baths all year round Xi better not take cool baths in winter.
In addition to the temperature is too low, the temperature of the bath should not be too high, many people like to turn the water temperature very high when taking a bath, so as to be able to soak out the floating ash on the body, so as to be able to rub the ash more cleanly, this idea is wrong.
The water temperature in the bath is too high, which will make the skin dry and dehydrated, and the wind will be very strong in autumn and winter, and the weather will be very dry, and the moisture in the skin will continue to lose rapidly with the weather, and the water molecules in the skin will not be retained, and the skin will have problems.
It is easy to peel the skin, so that the skin will become sensitive, itching and allergies and other phenomena are commonplace, at this time every day is tormented by itching, no one can live and work well.
If the water temperature is too high, it will burn the skin, make the air thinner, and people will also experience dizziness, nausea and other symptoms, and in severe cases, fainting.
Especially the elderly with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should pay special attention to the fact that the temperature of the bath water should not be too high, too high will expand the pressure of the blood vessels and the heart, and the life safety of the elderly will be threatened.
Therefore, we should also pay attention to choosing the right temperature when taking a bath, preferably close to the temperature of 37 degrees Celsius, which is the most comfortable temperature for the human body and will not cause damage to the body.
It is necessary to rub out the mud
In terms of the frequency of bathing, southerners generally take baths more frequently than northerners, and at this time different bathing cultures were born, and they took a bath once a day when the weather was hot, but there was a big difference in the cold autumn and winter.
Southerners basically do not have the phenomenon of rubbing ashes when taking a bath, because the southern region is often in a wet state, so the body will always be sticky, at this time they just take a shower, there is no such process as rubbing ashes.
The climate in the north is cold and dry, and at this time, they feel that their bodies are very dirty every day, accumulating all kinds of dust and dirt, and they will use bath towels to clean up the dirt on their bodies when they take a bath.
Therefore, the frequency of their bathing is basically once every three days, which is not as frequent as that of southerners, but there are also certain misunderstandings in this behavior, and many people feel that they have to rub out the mud in the bath, otherwise they are not washed.
This idea is wrong, in fact, only a small part of the mud we rub out is dust, most of it is the product of skin metabolism, and the reason why it becomes mud is because of the effect of mixing them with water, and the two combine to form "mud".
Generally speaking, there is more dust on the body because the working environment is more dusty, and at this time a lot of dust will fall on the body, and the dust will be washed down by water when taking a bath, and the combination of water will form "mud".
The most metabolic products of the human body are sebum and oil, and if the human metabolism is fast, there will be a lot of oil, but not everyone's metabolism is so fast.
Most people take a bath once a day in the summer and once every two or three days in the winter, but in life, some people have their own cleanliness habits, and they feel that the more frequent the bath, the cleaner they are, and they can wash several times a day.
If a person with an unhappy metabolism works in a clean environment, it is difficult to rub out the mud when taking a bath, so many people are wrong to think that they don't rub out the mud when they take a bath.
Oil is a barrier to protect the skin to a large extent, if it is scrubbed too much, it will destroy the stratum corneum of the skin, make the surface layer of the skin thinner, and then affect the body's excretion, body temperature regulation and other functions, which will affect the health of the human body.
In addition, the stratum corneum also has the effect of resisting various germs to cause damage to the skin, which will affect the metabolism of the skin.
Excessive scrubbing for a long time will make the skin age more rapidly, and it is easy to induce the appearance of various skin diseases, so it is good to scrub in moderation when taking a bath, there is no need to scrub too hard, and you must scrub out the mud before stopping.
Take a long bath
Many people feel very tired when they get home from work, so they want to take a comfortable hot bath to relieve the fatigue of the day, which is understandable, but the point to pay attention to is the time to take a bath.
Many people can take a bath for an hour or two, and they will not come out if they are not comfortable, which is very harmful, on the one hand, such behavior will make the brain lack oxygen, and the bathroom is a very small space, and the oxygen content is insufficient.
When taking a bath, the bathroom is closed, it is easy to make the oxygen content in this space insufficient, and the human body needs a lot of oxygen, and the lack of oxygen content will make people feel very uncomfortable, and even faint due to low blood sugar, so the bath time should not be too long.
Another aspect is that if you take a bath for too long, you will have a risk of cancer, and many people think that this is alarmist, but in fact, taking a bath for too long will increase the amount of chloroform volatilized in the hot water.
Once the chloroform content increases, it will be inhaled into the human body along the skin, mucous membranes, respiratory tract and other routes, which will increase the risk of liver cancer, and at the same time, taking a bath for too long will also make the skin soak in water for a long time.
In addition, there will be symptoms such as redness of the skin, which will make the stratum corneum of the skin more sensitive, so that it will be easy to dry and dehydrate, especially in winter, and there will be desquamation.
Therefore, when we take a bath, we should pay attention not to wash for too long, and pay attention to control the time, so that it is the most correct way to take a bath and achieve the best effect of bathing.

The above are all things that should be paid attention to when taking a bath, and I hope that everyone should pay attention to avoid these situations for the sake of their own health.
