Bathing Mistake: Brain Hemorrhage: Bathing is a common part of our daily routine. However, a small mistake while bathing can pose a serious threat to your health, even leading to a brain hemorrhage or heart attack. Senior physician Dr. BPS Tyagi, raising awareness on this topic, explained that our body needs to adjust to the water temperature, a process scientifically known as "acclimatization."

When we suddenly pour cold or very hot water on our heads, the body doesn't have a chance to adjust to the temperature. This sudden change can cause a kind of temperature shock, causing immediate pressure on the blood vessels. According to Dr. Tyagi, many cases of heart attacks and brain strokes occurring in the bathroom have been directly linked to this habit. Dr. Tyagi explains several things in this video that everyone should know. Let's explore them in this article.

Dangers of Pouring Water Directly on the Head

According to Dr. Tyagi, pouring water directly on the head poses several serious health risks. If the water is too cold, it can rapidly constrict the blood vessels leading to the head and brain, obstructing blood flow and increasing the risk of blood clots.

On the other hand, if the water is too hot, it can suddenly dilate the blood vessels, affecting blood pressure, increasing the risk of brain hemorrhage.

Which part of the body should be poured first when bathing?

According to Dr. Tyagi, bathing should always begin by pouring water around the navel. First, take some water in your hand and gently pour it onto the area just below the navel. Let the water remain there for 1-2 minutes.

The Importance of the 'Acclimatization' Process

By pouring water around the navel, our entire body gradually becomes accustomed to the water temperature. The body's nerves and blood vessels prepare for this temperature change, reducing the risk of sudden blood pressure fluctuations or head trauma.

What to do?

This simple rule is important for people of any age, but especially crucial for heart patients and those with high blood pressure. It ensures that your body's internal temperature and blood circulation adjust gradually. So, by following the right method, you can make even the most common everyday activities safer.
