Do you take a shower instead of a bath
before you go to bed? But by taking that
quick shower you might be missing out on some great health benefits that a bath
offers.
1. Lying
down helps puts you in a better mood. Our bodies like to be horizontal and they
associate horizontal positions with relaxation and vulnerability. While
submerged in your warm bath, you’re duplicating the same conditions of the
womb.
2. Baths
help with skin conditions. By adding a little bleach (0.005 percent) to your
bath research has shown that you can provide relief to eczema sufferers both by
killing the bacteria on the skin and by dampening the immune system's
inflammation response,
3. Cold
baths reduce muscle pain. A cold bath lowers the levels of lactic acid in the
bloodstream which builds up in the body during intense exercise. After you get
out of your bath, new blood replaces it; improving your recovery time.
4. A hot
bath before bed makes it easier to go to bed. When your body temperature drops at night it
starts to produce melatonin, the hormone that induces sleep. Because our bodies
get colder at night naturally a hot bath by heating will get you sleepy and
ready for a good night’s sleep.
The next time you take a shower before
you go to bed , you might be better off taking a bath.
