Heart vs Hot Full Baths

Patients suffering from cardiac insufficiency (heart failure) or circulatory disorders, very common in people with rheumatism, are in danger of collapsing if they take a full hot bath. This is due to the generalized peripheral vasoldilation produced and the increase in hydrostatic pressure on the thorax.

Both these effects of the full hot baths decrease the flow of blood towards the heart and the amount of air in the lungs, which may be counter - productive in the case of people with heart problems.

Caution: Anabolic Steroids



Users who inject steroids are exposed to the same risks as addicts of other drugs that are administered in the same way: hepatitis and AIDS.

Regardless of the way in which they are used, anabolic steroids can produce:

In MEN:
- a reduction in the size of the testicles,
- a lower sperm count,
- infertility,
- baldness,
- enlargement of the male breast tissue.



In WOMEN:
- facial hair,
- changes to or cessation of the menstrual cycle,
- enlargement of the clitoris,
- deepening of the voice.


In ADOLESCENTS:
- a premature stop in growth,
- accelerated changes during puberty.

The Reaction to Cold Water is Healthy


The application of cold water produces a greater stimulation of the skin and a more intense reaction of the body. There are two well-defined stages.

1- The first stage is a direct, local response to the application. When exposed to cold the blood vessels in the skin contract, reducing the flow of blood through the skin.


2- The second stage is a general, reflex-type action, which consists of reactive vasodilation (dilation of blood vessels), which increases the flow of blood through the skin, giving it a reddish appearance.

In hydrotherapy treatments it is important to always favor this second, reactive phase by:

> Covering up in bed as soon as the application has finished,
> Taking physical exercise, or
> Applying friction to the skin.

"Never apply cold water to a cold body"
