There is nothing better than a bath day-sweating your toxins in the steam room, melting all your stress with a massage and enjoying in a “time me” needed.
But if you are not careful, one day R&R pet can end with a trip to the doctor’s office.
Rosanne Joseph-Anthony, founder and clinical director of Healthium clinics, recently shared some common mistakes that people make in the bathroom-and a particularly bad habit that can lower you to the bad type of hot water.
Not wearing rolls in ordinary areas
Bigger Boo-boo? “Don’t risk barefoot in public areas,” Joseph-Anthony told the UK website Wowcher. “Pools, baths and saunas can keep the athlete’s feet and infections.”
While it can be seductive – especially when floors heat up – it’s just a health risk.
Shoes are especially important if you already have a condition of the foot, as being barefoot can worsen it and strong surfaces can cause planetary fascination – a condition that creates a painful sensation around the end of the heel.
If you are already prone to pain in that area, it is a good idea to ensure that your shoes are supportive, and if you have diabetes, it is especially important to protect your feet.
“Individuals with diabetes should be particularly careful to walk barefoot due to the risk of cuttings or undiscovered infections,” she said.
And don’t forget to “always dry your feet thoroughly and wear flip where it is necessary,” advised Joseph-Anthony.
Do not spend too long on the sauna
You can feel motivated to really push your borders into the sauna to try to really corrode all those cardiovascular benefits – but doing so can be dangerous.
“Don’t spend more than 20 minutes in the sauna, ”she said.
Traditional saunas usually have temperatures ranging between 150 ° F to 195 ° F, and the overestimation of your welcome can lead to dizziness, dehydration and – in the most extreme cases – a deadly heat blow.
If you are young for the sauna bath, Joseph-Anthony recommends starting with a lower temperature and take regular breaks.
Don’t ignore dizziness
If you suddenly feel light head or overheat in a sauna, steam room or even during a treatment, do not try to tighten it.
“Open up immediately and sit down if you start to feel good,” she said.
Ignoring these warning signs can lead to pallor or worse.
Joseph-Anthony also recommends avoiding the sauna if you are pregnant, have low blood pressure or have heart problems-and suggests consult your doctor before using a sauna if you have any health concerns.
One more thing: make sure you stay hydrated, especially if you are making a lot of sweating.
“Aim for two to three liters of water a day in a bathroom, but also make sure you replenish the electrolytes you lose to sweat with things like coconut nut water or a balanced sports drink,” she said.
Don’t ignore the pain when you get a massage
“Deep tissue massages can be intense, but be aware of discomfort beyond a threshold ‘good pain’,” it noted.
Listen to your body, make sure you tell your massage therapist how you feel and share everything you may need to know before you start.
“Communicate with any therapist,” she said. “Communication is essential, so always inform them of existing damage, muscle aches or medical conditions.”
Do not take a massage if you are sick or are healing from surgery
Think twice before reserving that appointment if you feel good or recover from an operation.
“Massages can spread infections and should be avoided if you have an active infection, you have had recent surgeries, or suffer from deep vein thrombosis (DVT),” added Joseph-Anthony.
It may sound relaxing, but your body takes time to heal, so a massage can do more harm than good.
And – once again – don’t forget to hydrate often! “Drinking too much water helps to ignite the toxins released during massage therapy,” she said.
