It is good to take a bath before or after fitness, but most people don't take a bath before fitness because they want to keep their muscles tense and sweat during fitness, but choose to take a bath after fitness. It should be noted that they can't take a shower immediately after fitness.
What are the benefits of taking a bath before fitness? Take a hot bath or soak your feet before exercising. People's body temperature will rise, and the body will become soft, thus accelerating the metabolism of the body and warming up.
Reduce the chance of injury. When the body temperature rises after bathing, the flexibility of the body will be enhanced, the contraction of muscles and joints will be more flexible, the exercise effect will be more obvious during fitness, and the possibility of physical injury will be reduced.
Promote blood circulation. With the increase of body temperature before and after bathing, it can promote blood circulation in the body, accelerate the circulation of energy accumulated in the body after fitness, and be more easily consumed.
When the body temperature rises, not only the blood, but also the lymphatic circulation speed will be accelerated. Lymphatic circulation plays an important role in excreting wastes from the body. Accelerated circulation means that the body can excrete more unnecessary water and fat, and can also prevent and eliminate fat.
What are the benefits of taking a bath after fitness? You can't take a bath immediately after fitness, but taking a bath after a period of rest can wash away sweat, keep skin and hair follicles clean, accelerate blood circulation of skin and muscle vessels, dilate capillaries, promote body heat and metabolism, accelerate the elimination of metabolites such as lactic acid, and make skin sweat smoothly; In addition, it can relax the muscles of the whole body, play a role in calming and relieving pain, help the body recover after fitness and eliminate fatigue.
Why can't I take a bath immediately after fitness? After fitness, the body has not returned to normal, and the pores are completely open. Taking a bath immediately is easy to cause physical discomfort.
It is easy to have insufficient blood supply or collapse. Just after finishing fitness training, the blood in the body itself is in a state of high-speed circulation. If you take a hot bath at this time, it will increase the blood flow of the skin, which is not conducive to the blood supply of organs such as the heart and brain, and it is easy to lead to insufficient blood supply to the heart and brain. Especially when the water temperature is high, it will also lead to increased sweating and induce water loss in the body, which is easy to cause collapse, dizziness, nausea and general weakness.
Damage to capillaries The capillaries of the human body will open when it is hot and close when it is cold. Just after exercise, the body temperature is relatively high, and the capillaries of the whole body are also open. If you take a cold shower directly at this time, it will stimulate the capillary to close and hurt the capillary, which is not good for your health.
After exercise, it is easy to get cold, and the body will open the pores of the skin to meet the needs of heat dissipation. Therefore, taking a bath immediately after the pores are opened is easy to catch cold and wind, leading to a series of problems such as colds, colds and headaches. Moreover, even if you don't take a cold bath, taking a hot bath immediately after exercise is just as easy to catch a cold.
It is easy to suffer from endocrine disorders or rheumatic exercise. Taking a cold bath after sweating makes the pores shrink, which leads to the sweat not coming out, and the open pores let cold water in. In this way, the waste produced by exercise stays in the body, causing endocrine disorders, making people catch cold, and even causing rheumatic diseases.
Internal heat and yin deficiency can easily accelerate blood circulation and open a large number of skin pores. If you take a cold bath at this time, it will stimulate pore contraction, resulting in excess heat generated after exercise, and the human body is in a state of internal heat and yin deficiency for a long time.
A lot of sweating after hindering the body's detoxification exercise is actually that the body is discharging metabolic waste. If you take a bath at this time, it will lead to the closure of sweat pores and abnormal discharge of toxins, which is naturally harmful to your health.
