no it doesn't matter. people say it's bad to eat before swimming because the blood goes to the digestive system and not to the muscles, so you get cramps as you're swimming.
not so much with showers. unless you exercise while you are showering.

Digestion requires good blood flow and digestion generates heat. If one takes a warm shower, does exercise or goes for a swim, the blood needs to be diverted to the skin surface for cooling purposes. This interferes with digestive process and you can end up having a stomach ache, can faint or even have a heart failure if you are weak.
Though most people would see no ill effects having showered right after a meal, but weak or old people can have a different reaction. So a healthy habit is to wait for about 30 mins after a meal before taking a shower.
The reason someone would faint would be because there is not enough blood flowing to the brain. Digestion requires a high percentage of blood and when you take a warm shower the blood vessels dilate in order to cool down the body by releasing the heat from blood to the skin. More blood flows through those vessels and since so much blood is being used elsewhere the brain may be lacking blood and the bodys reaction to this is to faint because fainting will keep the body level and the blood will flow evenly. This may not affect a lot of people but people with health concerns and also people with bad circulation may have problems.

In order to digest, you need the blood flow to be stimulated towards you're stomach. showering does exactly the opposite. It diverts the blood flow towards your hands and feet. This affects the digestion of the food and can further lead to more health issues. Experts recommend that you wait for around half an hour before you take a shower after having meal.
At least thats what I have been told about and read.

I've never heard that before and I am the ripe ol' age of 50! I always have my breakfast in a morning before going in the shower and it hasn't harmed me. And, I will have my supper around ten and then go straight in the shower without any ill effects.

No they're probable muddling it up with swimming once you chance cramp which i think might want to correctly be risky. I actual have my bathe interior the morning when I actual have breakfast (i'm a messy eater) and that i'm 111, properly almost.

If you eat a lot and take a steamy VERY HOT shower, then yeah--you're going to feel sick.
But other than that, there's nothing wrong with it .

Not true in the least. Makes no difference when you shower.

there's no harm in eating before you take a shower.but it all depends on what time you eat.if its early you can take a shower.but if its late you don't need to that way you can get some sleep.
