Taking a shower is a normal part of our daily life. Many people can relieve stress and fatigue by taking a shower, which indirectly proves that taking a shower is good for our health. But how exactly should we take a shower?
The best time to take a shower
Shower habits vary from person to person. Many Chinese people prefer to take a shower before going to bed at night.
After a day of hard work, turning on the hot water, washing away the fatigue from our bodies, relieving our muscles and bones, promoting blood circulation, and relaxing our body and mind.
It helps us fall asleep faster and also prevents us from bringing bacteria from outside into our beds, reducing the occurrence of diseases.
On the other hand, foreigners prefer to take a shower in the morning. Taking a shower in the morning can wash away toxins that have accumulated overnight, making people feel refreshed, energized, and ready for the day's work.
Both taking a shower in the morning and at night have their benefits, but it is recommended to take a shower at night because after a day of running around outside, our bodies are covered in dust and bacteria, which is very unhygienic to bring into bed!
What should we pay attention to when taking a shower?
After exercising or when feeling hungry before a meal, it is not recommended to take a shower. Taking a shower at this time can accelerate blood circulation, increase energy consumption, and easily lead to hypoxia or low blood sugar.
Taking a shower immediately after a meal can result in insufficient blood supply to the stomach, leading to indigestion.
Special attention should be paid to certain groups of people when taking a shower. It is important to consult a doctor for more information in these cases.
Mastering the correct order of showering can also contribute to our health
Incorrect order of showering can damage our skin and breed diseases.
The correct order of showering should be: washing our face, taking a shower, and then washing our hair.
The steam in the bathroom can open up our pores, and if we don't wash our face at this time, the dirt on our face will enter the pores, causing enlarged pores and rough skin. Therefore, it is important to wash our face before taking a shower.
Our hair is moisturized by the steam during a shower, making it soft and easy to clean. This is the best time to wash our hair.
