When can I take a bath after practicing yoga?

Introduction: Nowadays, more and more people are practicing yoga. I often hear some people say that you cannot take a bath immediately after practicing yoga, and it is best to rest for half an hour. So when is the best time to take a bath?

Taking a bath just after practicing yoga will not only greatly reduce the effectiveness of the exercise, but also cause unnecessary damage to the body. When you just finish practicing, your body is often in a state of extreme excitement. If you take a hot bath immediately at this time, the blood vessels will expand rapidly, blood will flow back to the brain, and increase the pressure on your heart. Moreover, the stimulation of cold and hot times can harm the body. It is generally recommended that practitioners, especially those with arthritis, take a bath before practicing and then rest for 20 minutes to half an hour. This can increase the feeling of cleanliness and relaxation of the human body, increase the body's temperature, and reduce muscle tension., help stretch the body and open the joints. People who practice after getting up in the morning do not need to take a bath before practice.

In addition, yoga practitioners should also pay attention to eating problems. During yoga practice, the body's blood concentrates on local muscles or organs, which will affect the digestion and absorption of food. Therefore, pay attention to keeping an empty stomach for 1 hour before and after practice. If you feel hungry before practice, drink a glass of milk or eat something liquid and digestible. Rest for at least half an hour after practice before eating. Fruits and vegetables are the most suitable.

Practitioners need to be reminded not to force every movement to stretch completely to the coach's level, but to their own limits or to feel comfortable. (Internship Editor: Xiao Yu)
