What if I told you taking a bath will make you happy, help with sleep and soothe your muscles?Well, it’s scientifically proven that baths help even out hormones, decrease aging, and aid sore muscles (and much more). Discover the top reasons to relax in a bath below:
1. Baths balance hormones
Bathing with hot water mixed with cold increases the flow of the feel good chemical, serotonin. It can also help balance your cortisol levels which is an important part to weight loss.
2. Baths decrease aging
Hot water opens the pours and causes us to sweat which is the body’s natural way of cleansing. It is basically a free facial.
3. Baths soothe sore muscles
Giving your body the time to heal and repair muscle growth is an important self-care tip. Soaking in Epsom salts or stretching in the bath can relieve impact from your activity and prevent injuries.
4. Baths help you sleep
Regular night baths will help you get to sleep faster and deeper. Warm baths release melatonin, a hormone that tells your body to sleep.
5. Cold baths stimulates weight loss
If you can get over being cold, cold baths will promote fat loss. Brown fat is activated when your body is cold resulting in energy and calories burned to keep your body warm.
Why not try a bath before a sleeping pill? It’s not just for women. It doesn’t have to be fancy with bath bombs and bubbles. You can add Epsom salts to help with sore muscles or magnesium flakes to help with sleep.
