As soon as the winter season arrives, people's daily routine starts changing. The biggest change in this season comes in the bathing habits of people. While some people avoid bathing, many people like to bathe in hot water to avoid cold. Bathing with hot water can save you from cold for a short time, but it is harmful to health in many ways. Let us know what problems can arise from bathing in hot water in winter.
Body lethargy
Bathing with hot water in winter causes laziness in the body. This is because by bathing with hot water, the cells in the body do not become fully active due to which the body goes into relaxed mode. This affects your energy throughout the day and makes you feel lethargic.
Harmful for hair
When you take a bath with hot water, the water first falls on the head and due to the high temperature, it affects the hair. Daily use of hot water causes the scalp to become dry, due to which dandruff and hair fall occur.
harm to nails
Bathing with hot water every day affects the nails. Due to repeated exposure of nails to hot water, their natural oil starts reducing due to which they become dry and weak. Therefore, there is a risk of nail breakage by bathing in hot water.
Fertility is reduced
Many people like to take baths with hot water during cold days. Because of this, some people take a bath for a long time. However doing so affects the fertility of the body. Bathing with hot water for more than half an hour reduces fertility. Therefore, take a bath with lukewarm water in winter and do not take a bath for too long.
Harmful to skin
It is common for skin to become dry during cold weather. In such a situation, bathing with hot water starts reducing the glow of the skin. The skin starts becoming drier due to which problems like acne and itching start occurring.
