3 actions in the shower to make men healthier

Often rubbing face when tired

Most people have this feeling: rubbing your face when you are tired will immediately make you feel refreshed. Because there are many facial muscles and sensitive nerves on the face, hot water can stimulate these nerves, rubbing the face can accelerate blood flow and stretch the facial muscles. When taking a bath, it is best to rub your face once per second, 3 to 5 times, and each time for no less than 3 minutes.

It should be noted that warm water at 40℃ is the most ideal for eliminating fatigue, because the normal armpit temperature of the human body is 37℃, and the internal temperature is 40℃, which is closest to the human body temperature. If the water temperature is too high, more calories will be consumed, and fatigue will not be eliminated, but it will make you feel uncomfortable; if the water temperature is too low, blood vessels will contract, making it difficult to eliminate fatigue.

Indigestion and frequent breathing

When you have a poor appetite, you can take a bath 30 minutes before meals, stimulate the stomach with hot water, and then spray hot water around the chest after the body is warm. Take a 5-second shower and rest for 1 minute, repeat 5 times. You can soak in hot water for 20 to 30 minutes, do abdominal breathing (inhale from the nose, let the abdomen bulge, and then exhale from the mouth), and then stimulate the abdomen with slightly cold water. This kind of hot and cold water stimulation can promote gastric juice secretion and improve appetite. For people with excessive gastric acid, gastric and duodenal ulcers, soaking in hot water for 3 to 4 minutes can control gastric acid secretion, reduce and control the condition.

constipation rub belly

When taking a shower, you can massage your abdomen in a clockwise direction with your palms, breathe deeply while your abdomen expands and contracts, and shower your abdomen. This can treat chronic constipation and prevent hemorrhoids. For nervous constipation, rinse along the intestines with 40℃ hot water for about 3 minutes, then rinse with 25℃ warm water for 10 seconds, repeat 5 times, which can increase the peristalsis of the large intestine.

Bathing Secrets

Experts from the Institute of Environmental Studies at Nagoya University in Japan studied the changes in human blood flow and found that taking a bath can only help relieve fatigue if the body is warm inside and a certain amount of sweat is secreted.

Therefore, although showering saves time, it only stimulates the surface of the skin and does not provide heat to the internal organs. It is best to take a shower in the morning to wake up your body and mind, so that you can be energetic and devote yourself to work and study during the day. It is best to take a bath in the tub 1 to 2 hours before going to bed.
