While bathing is generally safe and relaxing, doing it under the wrong conditions or at the wrong time can increase the risk of stroke—especially for older adults or people with pre-existing health conditions like high blood pressure, heart issues, or poor circulation.

1. Avoid Showering Right After Waking Up

Why it can be risky:
In the morning, your blood pressure tends to be naturally elevated. Jumping into a cold shower can cause your blood vessels to tighten suddenly, which may trigger a spike in blood pressure and increase the likelihood of a stroke.

Helpful tip:
Give your body 30–60 minutes to wake up before bathing. Stretch, hydrate, and warm up gently before stepping into the shower.
