Energize with a Hot Soak

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!

Nothing like a Warm Bath on a Cool Day

Oh autumn, the leaves are falling, the days are getting shorter and the air is cooling off. Whether you begin your day with a yoga session to stretch your muscles or go online to catch up on the news, nothing will ease you into your day more than a warm soak in your steam bath. Aside from doing your part for the environment because a bath uses less water than a shower, there are many health benefits to taking a bath.

Taking a dip in hot water physical pressure on the body allowing you to feel more relaxed. Unfortunately, stress accumulates in our back and neck and unless we can get relief through a massage or soaking in warm water, the discomfort will spread to other areas. Another benefit uncovered from a recent study is that soaking in a hot bath can lower your blood pressure. If you have a heart condition or suffer from anxiety a warm bath might be the cure. However, it’s important to consult your physician since a warm bath will also raise your heart rate. While we’re on the subject of studies, another study was published showing that people who suffer from diabetes and soak in warm water regularly were able to reduce their levels of sugar and glucose in the blood. All it takes is 20-30 minutes a day for 6 days a week and you could lose almost 2.5 pounds or 2 kilos.

Aside from the obvious health benefits, taking a steam bath just feels good. It starts your day the right way, ready to take on the day’s challenges.
