10 Major Health Reasons To Take A Hot Bath Or Shower by ekwe552: 7:37pm On Oct 26, 2021
Taking a hot bath has been scientifically proven to be beneficial to our minds, bodies, and skin.

Here are ten reasons to ignore the irritable child, pour you a glass of wine, purchase an electric instant water heater, and relax in a long hot bath or shower:

1. Helps to lower blood sugar levels

Walking. A hot bath could be exactly what you need to control your blood sugar and burn calories. Loughborough University researchers investigated the impact of a hot bath on blood sugar control (an important measure of metabolic fitness) and energy expenditure in a recent study (number of calories burned). They enlisted the help of 14 men, each of whom spent one hour in a hot bath. They then compared the number of calories burned during each session and measured their blood sugar for 24 hours after each trial. Bathing burned about as many calories as a half-hour walk (around 140 calories). Both conditions had a similar overall blood sugar response. Bye-bye, gym.

2. Get to sleep faster

The body relaxes and we are better prepared to fall asleep when we are in hot water. When a tense body enters a warm bath, the hot water warms the body and relaxes the muscles. Muscle relaxation benefits us not only physically but also mentally.
