I’ve hear that we shouldn’t shower right after exercise when I was young and looking it up, the websites that I searched always say that we shouldn’t. However I can’t seem to find the reason why other than all the websites just saying the same thing: “your body needs to cool down…” but doesn’t say what happens if we do.
Could someone explain why we shouldn’t shower right after working out and need to wait about 20 minutes? What happens in the long term if we do?

I’ve heard the same thing about showering right after eating a hot meal or even swimming. I was a kid and it was explained to me by friends mom who is a doctor (so I had no reason to doubt her!).
She suggested that the drastic change in temperature could affect blood flow and mess up your hearts rhythm and in the worst case potentially cause a heart attack.
