After exercising and sweating, most people naturally want to take a bath or shower to rinse off. Occasionally, this poses no problem, but if done daily, it may lead to certain health concerns.
When you exercise, your heart rate increases, placing strain on the heart. The same happens during bathing and showering. If you enter the bath or take a shower before your heart rate has stabilized, it can intensify heart fatigue, increasing the risk of myocardial infarction (heart attack).
If you already feel that your heart is under strain in daily life, it is advisable to wait about 30 minutes after exercising before taking a bath or shower.
Flexibility Exercises After Bathing
It is common for people to say that they do stretching exercises every night because their bodies become more flexible after bathing. Some even report performing flexibility exercises in the bathtub.
However, those who repeatedly stretch every day after bathing may unintentionally expand their range of motion beyond necessary limits, leading to symptoms similar to sprains or joint instability. What seems like a beneficial habit may actually weaken the ability to stabilize joints, potentially causing joint pain and discomfort.
Additionally, exercising immediately after bathing or showering puts extra strain on the heart. For optimal health maintenance, it is best to avoid any form of exercise within 30 minutes before or after bathing or showering.
