Bathing can not only improve your skin, but also have a very good effect on losing weight, especially for obesity in the lower body. The slimming bath introduced below can not only improve the overall obesity situation, but also have unexpected effects on friends with obesity in the lower body.
Chinese medicine advocates that "head cold and feet hot" is most beneficial to health, but the upper body temperature is relatively high, about 37 degrees, and the lower body temperature is relatively low, about 30 degrees Celsius, which is just the opposite of the head cold and feet hot advocated by Chinese medicine. It is easy to form the so-called "body cold", which is also one of the causes of obesity, so many obese friends will have cold hands and feet, even in summer. Then why does body cold lead to obesity? The main reason is that it hinders blood circulation.
As we all know, when the body is stimulated by cold and blood vessels contract, the function of blood circulation will be hindered. In addition, obesity will lead to the increase of cholesterol or neutral fat in the blood, so that the blood flow speed will slow down again, so that the blood can not normally take away toxic waste in the body, and fat accumulation will occur, which is the state of obesity.
If you continue to take a bath, you can not only get rid of the body cold and make your body function return to normal, but also slowly remove cholesterol from the blood, make the blood flow rate return to normal, stimulate circulation and accelerate metabolism. Moreover, sweating a lot in the bath helps to consume calories, which will greatly improve the obesity of the lower body caused by poor local circulation.
First of all, I suggest you take a hot bath. When you jump into the bathtub for a while, your blood temperature rises to about 38 degrees Celsius, and your body temperature rises 1 degrees Celsius, and you will start to sweat. This kind of sweat can quickly emit vaporized heat when the skin is dry, consume heat, and increase the number of breaths at the same time, thus achieving the effect of slimming.
After taking a hot bath or foot bath, rinse with cold water. The reason is that when taking a hot bath, a lot of waste is discharged due to sweating, which accelerates blood circulation, promotes metabolism and dilates blood vessels, and then cold water can contract blood vessels; Such contraction can maintain the elasticity of skin and muscle, prevent relaxation, and is more conducive to preventing arteriosclerosis.
Hot and cold bath can accelerate the beating of the heart more than simple cold bath or hot bath, and send a lot of blood to the skin surface, promote the endocrine of the whole body, and make the skin more shiny. Sweat is discharged from swollen pores, bringing out toxic waste in the body, which can't be washed off in the shower.
When taking a cold and hot bath, the blood vessels are unobstructed, which can promote metabolism; The whole body blood vessels relax and become more elastic, which can prevent arteriosclerosis and avoid hypertension and stroke. The cells and central nervous system of human body have conduction function, which can absorb heat and dissipate heat. Therefore, hot and cold bath is not only the movement of blood vessels, the activity of whole body cells, but also a good way to get rid of waste in the body, keep skin rosy and shiny, and keep slim.
Chinese medicine believes that the hot bath method, whether bathing or foot bath, is to restore the human yang. Its mechanism is to help yang dredge yin, warm meridians, make qi and blood "move with heat" and coordinate yin and yang. It can also make "temperature and blood flow by itself", make qi and blood flow, dredge meridians, and "general rules are painless", and some minor physical problems can also be improved. Modern people often don't exercise. It is difficult to restore the warmth of the sun by lying flat on all fours without sitting. People who often don't move, sit in the office for a long time, sweat less, and have cold hands and feet are relatively yin, so they often have minor problems, are prone to fatigue, and even form puffiness. Taking more baths or foot baths, restoring yang and reconciling yin and yang are the ways to keep in good health.
