54-year-old old Huang always strong body, one day the weather is hot all over uncomfortable, so they went out to play a bucket of cold water from the head down, cool is indeed cool.
I didn't think he would start having chest congestion and sweating after a while, but at first he thought it was due to heatstroke and didn't take it seriously. The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
When he arrived at the hospital emergency room, despite the timely assistance of medical staff, his blood pressure was getting lower and lower due to his large myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock for a long time, despite the use of large doses of blood pressure boosting drugs and cardiac stimulants, he was unable to return to life, and he regrettably lost his life due to a bucket of cold water.
And similar situations have happened time and time again -
In the summer of 2010, Mr. Yu, 40, took a cold shower after coming home from overtime at night, only to die suddenly of a sudden heart attack;
In the summer of 2013, Mr. Zhou, who had come home from a morning run and was sweating, also came home to take a cold shower that triggered a heart attack.
In the summer of 2013, Mr. Zhou, who came home from a sweaty morning run, also came home for a cold shower that triggered a heart attack and collapsed directly in his own bathroom.
When the weather is hot, some people may rush to take a cold shower to cool down their body temperature when they get home from a sweaty day, but why would a cold shower also induce sudden death?

I. How can a sudden death be triggered by just a cold shower?
The hot summer is torture for many people, so they want to go home and take a cold shower, not knowing that a cold shower may induce a heart attack leading to sudden death.
Sudden death is the unexpected and sudden death of a normally healthy person from a natural disease within a short period of time.
The causes of sudden death are generally non-cardiac and cardiac. Non-cardiac causes of sudden death are mostly associated with pulmonary, cerebral, aortic dissection and severe electrolyte imbalance, while cardiac causes of sudden death are commonly associated with coronary artery disease and arrhythmias.
In fact, taking a cold shower is only one of the triggers of sudden death; the root cause is other diseases in the body that just haven't usually struck yet.
For example, cold stimulation of patients with variant angina may lead to coronary artery spasm, which can trigger myocardial infarction or malignant arrhythmia, leading to sudden death.
For some patients with coronary artery disease or other diseases, even a long hot bath may be a risk of sudden death, but the number of people who die suddenly in the bath is, after all, a minority, and do not worry too much.

Is it a sign of sudden death if you get a legache, headache, abdominal pain, toothache, shoulder pain, etc. when you take a shower? In fact, these symptoms are also atypical manifestations of angina, and it is best to screen them in a timely physical examination.
In addition, angina is only one of the manifestations of sudden death, like neurological diseases, cardiovascular diseases, infectious diseases, etc. can trigger sudden death.
Two, men who insist on taking cold showers are more lean and strong?
There are many claims circulating that men who insist on taking cold showers will be leaner and stronger, and can reap many benefits, so is taking cold showers regularly hurt or strengthen your body?
Cold showers have some benefits for healthy people, improving the nervous system, enhancing cardiovascular function and resistance to disease, and regulating the gut. For people such as professional athletes and winter swimmers there are also benefits such as improved skin and increased cold tolerance.

But if you are taking a cold shower simply to cool down, it is not recommended because the cooling effect of a cold shower is only temporary. The newest addition to the lineup is the newest addition to the lineup.
Some people have a lot of potential problems with cold showers, especially the following 2 types of people:
1.1, people with colds
People with colds are weak, and if they take a cold shower, it may lead to aggravation of their condition, and may even lead to pneumonia.
2, patients with cardiovascular disease
People with cardiovascular problems who take cold showers are prone to increased blood pressure, vasoconstriction, increased heart rate, and are more likely to have cardiovascular accidents. Therefore, these two groups of people should avoid taking cold showers.
The Internet rumor that cold showers can boost immunity is actually no scientific evidence to prove it, so don't think about taking a cold shower to boost immunity.

Three, six bathing habits, I advise you to change as soon as possible
Whether it's work or study all day, come home and take a bath all over a refreshing energy, but bathing but there are instructions. The following are a few bathing habits that we suggest you change as soon as possible.
1. After a long period of exercise, the body's blood circulation is very active, this time immediately after the bath will lead to increased burden on the blood vessels and heart, prone to cardiovascular accidents, and even life-threatening.
2. Immediately after drinking a bath
The liver's function of releasing glycogen is inhibited after drinking, and this time the glucose consumed in the bath increases and blood sugar decreases sharply, and cannot be replenished in time, so it is easy to have symptoms such as blurred vision, dizziness, weakness, and in serious cases, coma.

3. Take a shower as soon as you've had a full meal
When you've just had a full meal, the blood is concentrated in the gastrointestinal part to digest the food, and this time an immediate shower will cause the blood to be transferred to the body surface, affecting digestion and causing gastrointestinal problems.
4, the bath water temperature is too high
The bath water temperature is too high will lead to the expansion of body capillaries, the blood flow to the heart, brain and other organs will be relatively reduced, suffering from coronary heart disease, hypertension, arteriosclerosis and other diseases of patients bath water temperature is too high, it may be targeted by cardiovascular accidents.
5, the bath time is too long
The bath soaking time is too long, on the one hand, will lead to the skin oil is washed away, triggering skin dehydration, dryness, itching and other symptoms. In addition it may also increase fatigue, trigger ischemia and hypoxia, and induce life-threatening arrhythmias.

The average healthy person may be fine with an occasional cold shower, but for patients with diseases such as coronary heart disease, a cold shower or one that is too hot can be life-threatening. Although bathing cleanses the body and releases the tiredness of the day, some wrong bathing habits should be avoided.
