New Delhi. The whole country is shivering with cold. This bone-chilling cold is not only a danger for the common people, but it is also fatal for those people who are suffering from many diseases including heart. Meanwhile, experts say that even taking a cold bath can improve or worsen the condition of your heart. The difference in temperature inside and outside the house puts tremendous pressure on the heart. The flow of blood is affected due to cold. The body finds it difficult to adjust to too cold water and too hot water. This should be avoided. That’s why people should take bath with lukewarm water. Due to this, the body does not get a sudden shock and the body temperature remains normal.

Dr. Karun Behl, Senior Consultant, Fortis Hospital, Mohali says, Lukewarm water increases body temperature and improves blood circulation. According to him, when cold water is poured on the body in winter, the body reacts immediately. Cold water is like a blast for the body, which creates an emergency-like situation inside it. Due to this, blood circulation suddenly becomes faster. In this situation, the heart has to create tremendous pressure to accelerate the flow of blood. The heart tries not to harm the nervous system near the skin by increasing the flow of blood.

That’s why pressure falls on the heart
According to the news published in the Indian Express, Dr. Behl says that when you stop shivering with cold, it puts more pressure on the heart. It is said that earlier fitness experts used to explain the relationship between metabolism and cold water. He said that as soon as cold water falls, the body’s metabolism becomes high. This increases energy in the body and reduces calories. Some researchers even said that bathing in icy water strengthens the immune system. This increases your immunity.

Pour water on feet first
Experts say this is wrong. People should take bath with lukewarm water. First of all water should be poured on the feet and then water should be poured on the body. Due to this, there will be no shock to the body and the body temperature will remain normal.
