Showering Before Bed - Is It a Good or a Bad Idea?

 It may cause you to gain extra pounds.

Having a delicious dinner and taking a hot shower right after might seem like a perfect way to wrap up the day and finally go to bed. But in reality, hopping into the shower after eating might confuse your digestive system and lead to weight gain. Digestion requires increased blood flow toward the stomach, and showering causes blood to flow to other parts of the body. If you feel like you absolutely need to wash off the day in the evening, it’s better to wait at least 30 minutes after having a meal.
