Dr. Martin Adu Afram, a renowned health expert and the Physician Assistant at Amphred Station Hospital in Nkoranza, in the Bono East Region has emphasized the importance of bathing for overall health and well-being.
During an exclusive interview with Apiah-Kubi on Fabea FM's 'Me Man Ho Dadwen', Dr. Afram emphasized the numerous physical and mental health benefits of bathing, including improving skin health, wound healing, and immune system function.
He also highlighted the role of bathing in reducing stress and anxiety, improving mood, and promoting better sleep and getting rid of body odour.
Dr. Afram addressed common misconceptions about bathing and provided tips on how to make bathing a relaxing and rejuvenating experience.
He also disclosed that bathing practices, such as warm baths and cold showers, have benefits for physical and mental health.
Taking a bath has great physical and mental health benefits. Soaking in a tub is something many people have access to but don’t take advantage of enough. But it can be beneficial for a lot of people.
Baths should be an everyday thing. But if you can shower out 10 or 15 minutes for a bath just everyday, you may find out that it makes a difference in your overall health. Dr. Martin shares why baths are good for you and a few tips for getting the most from them.
Clean and exfoliate
ok, so maybe your main focus here is to get your body clean. You will know and understand that bathing can be done in more ways than one.
That’s because baths give your skin some time to soften, so as you’re scrub a dubbing, you get the added benefit of exfoliation.That’s great for keeping your skin silky and smooth.
Bathing can improves your mental and emotional health according to some research studies, which also suggest that a type of warm bath therapy may have positive effects on people living with depression. Warm baths are linked to decreases in stress hormones and more balanced serotonin levels, which help regulate mood.
Sleep tight at night will require one to take a bath.
At least one study shows that taking a warm shower or bath before bed can help you fall asleep faster and sleep better. Here is why the researchers say may happen.
Throughout the day, your core body temperature fluctuates a bit. That’s normal. For ideal sleep, your temperature needs to drop about two or three degrees. While it might seem like taking a bath gets you all warm and cozy and, therefore, increases your temperature, it’s actually the opposite.
As your body warms up in the bath, it brings your blood to the surface. That means your heat is pulled from your core. That lowers your body temperature and promotes relaxation and sleep. There’s more to it.
Baths also create a good environment for meditation, thought and escape from everyday stressors, Dr. Martin notes. Promoting relaxation helps you let go of things that can keep you awake as you try to wind down. For your best sleep, try a 10 or 15 minute bath about an hour or two before bed.
The expert advised on how to incorporate bathing into daily routine for optimal health benefits. He also emphasized the importance of proper hygiene and sanitation practices to prevent the spread of diseases.
Dr. Afram's insightful discussion on the benefits of bathing provided valuable information.
In inspiring individuals to prioritize bathing as an essential part of the self-care routine, Dr. Afram highlighted effects on an individual such as body odour, skin rashes, and dryness of the body.
