Often to keep fit we struggle to go for a walk or a run. A study carried out by the National Center for Sport and Exercise Medicine of the University of Loughborough tells us that a warm bath accelerates metabolic health. Can it ever really be like this? The study found that exercising is not always the right way to stay fit. A one-hour hot bath has the ability to accelerate metabolic health. Let’s find out the health benefits. Steve Faulkner believes that passive warming can improve salute.
The samples taken as reference
14 men took part in the experiment that revealed that a hot bath accelerates metabolic health. Each of them was told to ride a bike for an hour and bathe in 40 degree hot water for the same amount of time. The men consumed 140 calories by taking a hot bath, equivalent to about 30 minutes of walking. On men the effects were disruptive but the same study should be applied to the fairer sex to carefully check if the effects are the same.
Other benefits found
The men tested improved their ability to control blood sugars. Taking a hot bath has a lower sugar spike. The benefits of passive warming help passively burn calories and control metabolic disorders. Furthermore, the anti-inflammatory response is as good as during exercise. How many people reading this research will now opt for a hot bath to feel healthy? Warm baths help reduce strokes and heart attacks and improve blood pressure. A hot bath accelerates metabolic health as well as burning calories like 30 minutes of walking. From today, the most apathetic have the opportunity to relax in the tub in 40 degrees water to lose calories.
