V. Bathing Tips

A too-long bath is the heart and lungs for a long time in the water pressure environment, while the space is relatively confined, so the body will be uncomfortable.
- The Water Temperature Should Not Be Too High
The temperature of the bath is about 40 degrees is appropriate. Too high a water temperature will stimulate sympathetic nerves. For people with hypertension, arteriosclerosis, coronary heart disease and other chronic diseases, it is a dangerous behavior that the water temperature is too high. This may lead to heart attacks and other accidents.
