In the name of fashion, many of us wear tight fitting clothes, isn`t it!! 

Now, one question is: Is this good for us?

Bitter fact is that by wearing tight fitting clothes we are doing more harm to our bodies.

How does the body respond to tight clothes?

It was brought to light by a lead consultant Dr. Narendra Singhla from Delhi based C.K. Birla Hospital that when we wear tight fitting clothes then our body would respond in many ways.

Cause skin irritations:

We could get irritations, rashes and redness etc by wearing tight clothes and these are caused due to friction. It must be noted that these skin issues occur when tight clothes repeatedly rub against the skin.

Nerve compression:

Another common issue we could get by wearing tight clothes is nerve compression. Truth is that we could get sensations of tingling, numbness and even pain etc. When we wear tight clothes continuously for many years, then the nerve compression could worsen.

Restricted breathing:

The diaphragm inside us would restrict movement if we wear clothes tightly, especially around the chest or abdomen. By this, there would be shallow breathing leading to shortness of breath, fatigue and reduced intake of oxygen etc. Please take care.

Impaired blood circulation:

The blood flow would get restricted if we wear tight fitting clothes around waist or legs etc. Bitter truth is that this reduced blood circulation could also lead to other complications like varicose veins or sometimes blood clots too. So, please be careful.

Infertility:

Tight fitting clothes can also lead to fertility based issues in us.  It is noteworthy that sperms are produced in testicles and testicles must have a temperature cooler than the body. By wearing tight clothes, testicles would be pushed up against the body and due to this heat from the body might affect sperm count.

Mental health issues:

Not many would be aware that wearing tight clothes could lead to mental health problems also. This could be e due to self consciousness that we could have when we wear tight fitting clothes.

Long term issues:

We could also get affected by some long term issues like gastrointestinal issues or GI issues such as acid reflux, Irritable bowel syndrome or IBS, gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD etc. We could have more risk of getting infections due to improper ventilation, chronic nerve pain plus others like musculoskeletal strain etc.
