How to take a shower quickly and cleanly

In life, many people take a bath before going to bed every night. However, sometimes they are very tired after a day of work and don’t want to take a bath, because taking a bath is a waste of time and physical strength. So everyone hopes to have a way to take a bath quickly and cleanly, which can not only save time but also save energy. So how can we take a bath quickly and cleanly?

How to quickly remove mud when taking a bath:

There is a layer of basal cells deep in the epidermis of a normal person, which differentiate into keratinocytes day and night. These tightly connected keratinocytes protect the entire body and gradually move to the surface and die during metabolism. The outermost layer of aged keratin cells naturally falls off in flakes, which is the "flying dust" or "dandruff" you see when you shake your underwear. People shed 50 small scaly flakes of skin every minute, which is equivalent to three skin changes a year, and up to 20 kilograms of skin can be shed in a lifetime. Therefore, every time people take a bath, "mud strips" are rubbed out.

The correct way to take a bath:

1. Frequency

1. In summer, the human body secretes a lot and sweats a lot, so it should be washed once a day. The weather is not hot in winter, spring and autumn, so the number of times a bath is taken may vary from person to person.

2. People who are overweight or have active sebaceous glands can take more baths. The sebaceous glands of the elderly secrete less, so they can reduce the frequency of bathing appropriately.

3. For most people who work in an environment with not very poor sanitary conditions, especially in the dry winter, taking a bath every day can easily damage the normal skin structure. The outermost layer of human skin is the stratum corneum. The stratum corneum that falls off automatically and the dirt mixed with skin sweat will not be much. Washing this part every day can have a certain protective effect on the skin. If you bathe too frequently, the stratum corneum will be damaged and its function of protecting the skin will be lost. The moisture in the skin cells will evaporate more easily and the skin will become dry. According to traditional Chinese medicine, "dryness creates wind, and wind causes itching." "Wind" here refers to a cause of disease that wanders around in the body, causing itchy skin.

4. Of course, the frequency of bathing should vary according to time and place: when it is hot in the south, taking a shower three times a day is not too much; when it is cold in the north, taking a shower once every three weeks is not too little.

2. Water temperature

1. The temperature of bath water should be close to body temperature, that is, 35-37°C. If the water temperature is too high, it will cause the epidermal blood vessels of the whole body to dilate, reduce the blood flow to the heart and brain, and cause hypoxia. Pregnant women should be careful not to use too high a water temperature when bathing to prevent fetal hypoxia and affect fetal development.

2. In fact, there are many requirements for the water temperature for bathing. According to normal body temperature, it can be divided into three categories: hot water bath, warm water bath and cold water bath. They can play different roles in the human body.

3. Take a hot bath to relieve fatigue. The water temperature should be about 40℃. Try it with your hand. It should feel slightly hot. Its biggest function is to help clean the skin. In addition, since the temperature of a hot water bath is similar to that of most hot springs and slightly higher than human body temperature, it has similar functions to hot springs. For example, it can dilate skin blood vessels, promote blood circulation, enhance metabolism, and has certain therapeutic effects on neuralgia, rheumatoid arthritis, etc. It is more suitable to take a hot bath in winter, and it is also best to take a hot bath in summer when you are sweating profusely after exercise.

4. Warm water bath can relieve itching. The water temperature is about 35℃. Warm water bath should be around 35℃. Try it with your hand and it will feel slightly hot. This is a temperature that is slightly higher than skin temperature and slightly lower than body temperature, which is very suitable for bathing. Generally speaking, warm water baths are recommended in summer. A warm water bath can calm the nerves, reduce the cardiovascular burden, and has a good therapeutic effect on high blood pressure, neurasthenia, insomnia, skin itching, etc. It is also the best temperature for skin removal. Studies have found that if healthy people soak in 35°C water for 2 hours, their urine volume will increase after bathing, their heart's blood supply capacity will be enhanced, and their weight will decrease by an average of 0.5 kg. Taking warm baths regularly can also increase appetite and make your complexion more rosy.

5. Cold water bath fitness, the water temperature is about 20℃. The water temperature of cold water bath is about 20℃, which is the most obvious fitness effect among the three. Modern medical research shows that insisting on cold water bath can not only significantly increase the number of white blood cells and improve immunity, but also promote blood dilution, improve blood circulation and blood quality, and prevent thrombosis.

6. In addition, cold water baths can help improve the body's ability to adapt to external climate changes, delay the aging of tissues and organs, improve skin blood circulation, and keep skin healthy. When cold water is poured over the body, the body will quickly activate its regulatory function in order to maintain a constant body temperature. This will not only increase the stress response capacity of the nervous system, but also enhance blood vessel elasticity, improve organ function, and is effective in preventing arteriosclerosis, hypertension, coronary heart disease and other geriatric diseases. Therefore, many people call cold water baths "vascular exercises without sweating."

7. In addition, the temperature of the bath water should be adjusted according to the time and the person. For example, warm water bath is suitable in summer, because too high temperature may cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular patients to faint due to lack of oxygen; and too low temperature (such as below 10°C) will cause the pores on the body surface to suddenly close, the blood vessels to suddenly shrink, and the heat in the body cannot be dissipated. After washing, people will feel weak limbs, sore shoulders and knees, and it may even become a triggering factor of arthritis and chronic gastroenteritis. In winter, a hot bath is a good option. It should be noted that the temperature should be controlled when the elderly and pregnant women take a hot bath, otherwise it may cause the elderly to faint or cause fetal hypoxia and affect development. Since different water temperatures have different effects on the body, you should choose a water temperature that is suitable for your bathing.
