It’s easy, if
you want to feel energized, soak in hot water. And our bodies contain a lot of
water. In a large study of males and females, the human body averaged 65%
water. How does water relate to energy? Water is the most receptive element and
a great receiver and conductor energy. Hot water stores a significant amount of
caloric energy, which is transferred to our bodies when we bathe. Water also
has a beneficial impact on blood circulation stimulating blood vessels, tired
muscles and joints.
A short hot
bath will decrease blood pressure, relaxing the body, soothing the nervous
system, stimulating the immune system, and reducing muscle, joint or connective
tissue disorders and injuries. A hot bath before going to bed will prevent
headaches and improve your sleep.
In terms of
a person’s mental state, a hot soak increases the production of endorphins or
body’s pain killers which are associated with euphoria and happiness.
Endorphins which are a group of hormones secreted within the brain and nervous
system. These peptides activate the body's opiate receptors helping you feel
sleepy.
Hot water
has many physical and physiological benefits to those who use it wisely. Too
much of a good thing can be bad in the long run and many health professionals
advise against spending too much time in your bath. And you’ll come out looking
like a prune!
But if you
want to sleep and feel better, then soaking in water is the way to go!
