Here are 4 times when you should never take a bath, no matter how dirty, to protect your health.
1. Just waking up
It is thought that taking a bath right after waking up will help the body wake up and have a day full of energy. However, this is not a good choice for health.

After a night of sleep, the body is in a state of rest and relaxation, blood circulation is slower, heart rate and blood pressure are relatively lower. If you take a bath at this time, especially a hot bath, it can cause blood to flow quickly to the skin surface, while the amount of blood supplied to internal organs such as the heart and brain is reduced. This change can cause fatigue, dizziness, and even fainting in people with large fluctuations in blood pressure.
Additionally, the morning is the time when blood sugar levels in the body are lower, especially for those who eat dinner early or do not eat at night. Bathing in this situation, especially hot water baths, can reduce blood sugar and increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Because of this, after waking up, you should wait for your body to gradually adapt to the state of being awake or exercise, and then take a bath.
2. Just had a full meal
This is the habit of many people. However, after eating, the digestive system needs a large amount of blood to help the digestive tract absorb and digest food.
