Bathing is a common practice in life, and many people think there are no specific requirements for bathing, but this idea is incorrect. Because if the timing of bathing is wrong, it could lead to a cold, and may increase the humidity in our bodies. Therefore, there are many considerations when it comes to bathing, regardless of gender. Avoid bathing at these three times, but many people fall victim to the last one.
For both men and women, try to avoid these 3 “times,” as many people fall victim to the last one:
1. After cupping therapy
We all know cupping can effectively remove the humidity in our bodies, but our bodies are fragile after cupping. Bathing at this time might reintroduce humidity into our bodies. During bathing, water vapor easily enters our bodies through the pores, exacerbating the humidity. Bathing might also damage the cupping areas, leading to infections, so it’s best to avoid bathing immediately after cupping.
2. After using the air conditioner
As the weather is hot, many people use air conditioning at night. At night, when the body’s Yang energy is weak, the skin remains exposed to cold air while in an air-conditioned room. Bathing immediately after using the air conditioner will make the bathing environment very hot due to water vapor. The body may not tolerate this sudden change between hot and cold, making us prone to colds. Therefore, it’s best not to bathe immediately after using the air conditioner.
3. After intense exercise
Summer is a good time for weight loss, and many people engage in intense exercise routines. After exercising, many people feel cold and desire to shower immediately. However, showering right after exercise can lead to humidity invading the body. This is because after exercise, the blood circulation in the body is fast, and the body temperature is relatively high. If you shower directly after exercising, the pores will tighten, hindering sweating, making it difficult for the body to eliminate humidity. Over time, the accumulation of humidity in the body is detrimental to our health.
