The sudden departure of Miho Nakayama is a serious scene about the potential risks in bathing habits in the winter, especially for middle -aged and elderly people.Because it can cause dangerous heat shock, like the case of the "Japanese drama queen" mentioned above.Dr. Hiroyuki Sakai (Tokyo, Japan) said that heat shock is the cause of death more than traffic accidents in Japan every year.
According to the Medical Center for the life and health of Tokyo, every year in Japan, there are about 17,000 deaths related to heat shock when bathing, this figure is four times higher than the number of deaths from traffic accidents.It is noteworthy that thermal shock often occurs in winter bathrooms, where the temperature difference between cold air and hot water causes blood pressure to change quickly.
Dr. Hiroyuki explained: “The fast movement from the warm place to the cold place will make the body temperature unable to adjust immediately to the environment and blood pressure change significantly, causing heat shock.In addition, the moisture and temperature in the bathroom are too high, causing the capillaries to dilate, causing the same situation as the heat stroke.Causes a large amount of blood circulation on the body's surface and blood supply to important organs in the body is not enough.In serious cases, it can cause stroke, heart failure ... and many other dangerous issues ”.
He also warned that the elderly and people with a history of cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, or endocrine disorders often face higher risks.In particular, the habit of bathing too hot or entering the cold bathroom right after the warm place is all factors that increase the risk of thermal shock.
