Important: Pregnant women and people with cardiovascular disease should avoid bathing in water hotter than 40 °C.
It provides spiritual refreshment
A hot bath refreshes your mind and allows you to unwind, calm down, and let go of your daily worries. It’s even said to help people overcome depression. These findings are explained by the fact that the part of the brain that regulates body temperature also plays a role in depression-related processes. As a result, increasing the body’s core temperature in warm water raises the level of mood-regulating hormones.
Keeps your body going
If you are feeling a little under the weather, you can use a hot bath for some relief. The steam helps clear nasal congestion by stimulating your sinuses to clear accumulated mucus. It also helps to clear the airways, which reduces coughing. Furthermore, viruses are less viable at high temperatures (it is no coincidence that fever is the body’s natural defense response to viruses). As a result, a hot bath can aid the body to respond to a virus.
It stimulates blood circulation and aids in regeneration.
The warm water of a bath can increase the proportion of nitric acid in the blood, causing blood vessels to dilate and blood to flow more easily and quickly. Accelerated blood circulation also temporarily improves heart function and has a positive long-term effect on our body.
Warm water, according to one study, helps to lower blood sugar levels and improve cognitive functions. Bathing in warm water on a regular basis can significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke.
A warm bath is also beneficial to tired muscles. Stimulating circulation promotes faster regeneration, and relaxing the muscles relieves muscle tension, reducing muscle pain and fever.
It contributes to a more restful sleep
When it’s a warmer season we become more tired due to the heat and fall asleep more easily. On colder days, you can take a hot bath to help you fall asleep faster at night and wake up relaxed.
Taking a bath right before you go to bed ensures that you will fall quickly into a deep sleep and wake up refreshed after a restful sleep.
It never hurts to be cautious
We must be aware of the risks and dangers if we choose to use a bath. Bacteria thrive in the wet and humid environments. Dead skin cells and wet environment provide ideal conditions for their reproduction. Disinfect the bath several times a month, and it is recommended that you rinse before each bath.
Last but not least, extreme caution is required!
Slipping and tripping are the most common dangerous accidents that occur at home, so special care must be taken in the bathroom. A bathtub door and handrails can significantly reduce the risk of a bathroom accident. The UDOOR Bathtub door can simplify and protect bathing by making it easier to step in and out of the bath.
