Hi dear
well , i heard same and it says that when wee are out of bed, our body temprature is differnt and we need to give it some time to adjust and normalize, and i think 1o mins are enough for it.
But sure bathing daily and in morning is good habit and healthy practice
Take care

Who said that? And what bad side effect caused by it? For me, i don't think it is not has much correlation, because I usually do that everyday, from childhood until now & I don't feel any bad effect of it. The thing I ever heard of is about taking bath right after doing heavy exercise isn't good for health because our body metabolism is still in "hot" mode & need to sweat. When we do bath right after exercise makes our sweat doesn't come out perfectly, so that mean our body metabolism will be agitated.

A friend of mine told me something like what cupid said recently. When we wake up our body is still a little warm so we should let it rest for a while before taking a bath. And only the thing I heard before was just like what you said should bathe after exercise.

Oh... is it true that this act will harm our health? Personally, I don't think so.
It is a habit for me to take a bath immediately after I wake up in the morning. After the bath, I will feel much fresher for the start of a day. I have been doing this for years, so personally I don't think it is true.

I didn't heard about this! Is this true? Hmm...although I believe that taking a bath first thing in the morning will not harm your health. I think I would like to check and research this on the internet or ask my doctor about it. I still think that its good habit and good personal hygiene to take a bath as soon as you wake up.

What I understand is that, if your body has higher temperature when you get up, give a longer time with your shower to give a good cool effect to the body. This makes the body feel good and start a new day. If your body temperature is high and you take a quick shower, there is a tendency that the body temperature will rise more after shower. Water is my healing therapy, you know!

Nope, Tropical countries like Philippines. They take a bath at morning before go to school and work. Other take a bath again when they back home. Koreans and some Americans took a bath at night. To feel good and sleep well. Philippines lots of water supply that's why always take a bathe 1-3 times a day.
