Is it effective for summer cold and summer fatigue? Survey conducted regarding summer bathing situations
*
BELTA, a women’s life stage brand operated by BELTA Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo), conducted a survey of 724 men and women regarding “summer cold, summer fatigue, and bathing
circumstances.” In the survey, we conducted a survey to find out how many people experience summer chills and summer fatigue, which are typical summer complaints, and about bathing, which is one of the countermeasures. The survey revealed the actual conditions of people’s health problems during the summer and the circumstances surrounding bathing in the summer. *
With the arrival of August, the rainy season has ended, and the days are said to be extremely hot. In July of this year, the world’s average temperature has become a hot topic, reaching the highest on record, and the days have been extremely hot.
Many people may become unwell due to sudden temperature changes. This time, BELTA, a women’s life stage brand, asked 724 men and women in their 20s to 70s about their experiences with summer chills and summer fatigue and their countermeasures.
* ■89.9% of people have experienced summer cold or summer fatigue* First, we asked how many people have experienced the typical summer complaints of “summer chill” and “summer fatigue.”
The results of the survey revealed that 79.6% of people have experienced summer chills, 73.6% have experienced summer fatigue, and 89.9% have experienced either or both.
Many people seem to be feeling a summer-like malaise.
* ■What are the symptoms and countermeasures for summer cold/summer fatigue? * We asked them about the specific symptoms of summer chill and summer fatigue. It seems that many people feel cold hands and feet (73.6%) as a symptom of summer cold. Other symptoms listed included “feeling of fatigue/sickness (65.3%),” “headache (38.4%),” and “diarrhea (25%).”
The most common measures to combat the summer chill were “avoid wearing light clothing (42.8%)” and “soak in the bathtub (42.6%).” As a countermeasure against the cold, many people seem to take measures to warm their bodies.
When asked about the symptoms of summer fatigue, the symptoms ranged from gastrointestinal discomfort, loss of appetite, headaches, and stiff shoulders and necks, but 92.5% of people seemed to feel “feeling tired and dull.” .
As a countermeasure against summer fatigue, the most common answer was “drinking water (64.4%),” followed by “Eating well (44.5%)” and “Getting enough sleep (42.8%).” Many measures were taken to replenish the supply.
* ■65.3% of people know that “disturbance of autonomic nervous system” is behind the discomfort they feel in summer*
It is said that the malaise you feel in the summer is related to “disturbance of the autonomic nervous system.”
This is because in summer, the autonomic nervous system is easily disturbed due to the burden on the body caused by the increased exposure to ultraviolet rays and the difference in temperature between indoors and outdoors. The autonomic nervous system plays an important role in controlling breathing, blood pressure, and the function of internal organs, and when this balance is disrupted, it becomes easier to experience various disorders.
In this survey, 65.3% of people knew that summer fatigue is related to disturbances in the autonomic nervous system.
* “Bathing” is also effective for summer malaise *
It is said that bathing can be expected to have the effects of buoyancy, water pressure, and heat, and these are said to be good for balancing the autonomic nervous system and recovering from fatigue.
* Buoyancy effect*: Buoyancy relieves body tension and allows you to relax. * ●Water pressure effect*: The water pressure in the bathtub improves blood circulation and lymph flow.
* ●Thermal effect*: Warming the body in a bathtub improves blood circulation and stimulates metabolism.
Bathing can be expected to have these effects, so when you feel tired or your autonomic nervous system is disturbed, it is important to soak in a bathtub instead of just a shower to improve your symptoms. How many people soak in a bathtub during the hot summer months? We also asked about the bathing situation in summer.
* 42% of people take a bath every day in summer*
When asked how often they take a bath in the summer, the most common response was “I take a bath every day (42%),” followed by “Only a shower (24.5%)” and “I take a bath 2-3 times a week (10.6%).” It continued.
* ■In summer, the frequency and time of soaking in a bathtub is less than in winter*
The survey results show that more than half of people soak in a bathtub even in summer.
On the other hand, when asked about the differences in the time and frequency of soaking in the bathtub between summer and winter, 51.4% of respondents said they took a bath less often and 69.7% said they took less time in the bathtub in summer compared to winter.
During the hot summer months, many people seem to spend less time and less time soaking in the bathtub.
