Why should one avoid taking a hot shower immediately after a workout?
After workout, body is heated up, heart rate is high, and blood vessels are wide open to cool oneself down. Hot water further raises body temperature, which may make one feel dizzy, said Dr Manjusha Agarwal, consultant, internal medicine. Taking hot shower too quickly gets in way of natural process of cooling down, added Dr Aniket Mule, consultant, internal medicine.
