Who doesn’t love soaking in a hot tub after a long and stressful day at work? We all want to relax and unwind and a bath is the perfect way to do that. But did you know that a warm bath isn’t just good for relaxing, but actually have a lot of health benefits? Now you can enjoy your baths with zero guilt, after you learn about all the ways that baths help your body. So what are these amazing benefits?
The prime reason why we should all be utilizing our comfortable bathtubs is the immense benefits to our heart and cardiovascular system. The warmth of the water helps dilate the blood vessels, improving blood flow. If you have problems with circulation, this could be of great help. Make sure that you don’t have any cardiovascular issues that dilating blood vessels could make worse. Otherwise, taking long, hot baths can lower blood pressure, and increase your heart rate. The science is simple: the pressure that the water puts on our bodies is like a workout for our systems which work a touch harder to keep us healthy.
A regular shower doesn’t clean your body the way a bath does. When you are surrounded by warm water, your pores open up, water goes into them and cleans them out thoroughly. Make sure you don’t stay in there too long and that the water isn’t too hot, because that can lead to burns and premature aging of the skin. If you want to use any products on your skin to moisturize or treat it, right after a hot spa bath is the perfect time because your pores will be open and your skin will absorb a lot more of the product than it normally would.
Enjoying a bath at home is great, and everyone should do it, but you should also treat yourself to a day at the spa, enjoying the full experience. Just remember to leave all of your worries outside of the water and enjoy the bath fully, focusing on the healing it is doing.
