It’s Not a Wise Method To Cool down Yourself Immediately After Exercises!

In the red-hot summer, it’s nothing can be compared to dip ourselves in the cold water and having a icy cool drink. However, some experts said it is not the right way, where it supposed to be!

In the hot summer day, our skins pores are mostly situating in “open” status. The skin pores will close rapidly, if you bathing yourself with the cold water. The heat inside the body will be trapped and you’ll have a bigger chance having heatstroke!

To overcome this matter, you can have a nice hot bath, where the hot water helps enlarge the blood vessels and conduce more heat to be released from the body.

Beside that, a cup of hot green tea after bath is the best choice to reduce your daily stress as well!

You take all the fun out of pushing someone into a cool pool after heating up! But you are right! I have seen folks go into heatstroke from not cooling down properly! Not a pretty picture.

Always remembered that "Health comes first"...

Oh yes. One should never take a bath right away after an exercise. My mum always scold me for not cool down my body before a bath and I had no idea why until I have grown up.

Hi Sarah,

Yep, the elder's saying is right in some point. Hence, we should listen to their advice!

Thanks for dropping by.
