Dr. Amy Zack, a physician at the Cleveland Clinic (USA), said: Bathing brings great benefits to physical and mental health, according to the scientific journal IFL science.
Indeed, scientific evidence has shown that people who take baths tend to have less stress, anxiety and depression than those who take showers. Taking regular baths helps you feel healthier and sleep better.
Bathing brings great benefits to physical and mental health
Recent surveys show that soaking in a warm bath for 21 minutes is ideal for achieving relaxation.
Expert Charles Steward, working at Coventry University (UK), said recent research shows that hot baths can help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and reduce blood sugar levels.
Benefits of hot tub bathing
According to expert Steward, the cause is cardiovascular disease mainly caused by arterial diseases. Regularly soaking in warm water can improve vascular health. That's the main reason hot tubs help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Other studies have also found that regular hot baths help reduce blood sugar levels. British researchers have reported that soaking in a hot bath can help reduce inflammation and control blood sugar levels.
The results showed that soaking in a warm water bath at 39 degrees Celsius for 1 hour significantly reduced blood sugar levels.

What do doctors recommend when taking a hot bath?
Dr. Stacy Chimento, a dermatologist at Riverchase Dermatology (USA), recommends limiting baths to 15 minutes. If it takes longer, it will strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to inflammation and skin irritation.
At the same time, make sure the water is not too hot. Dr. Chimento recommends that the water temperature should be between 37-39 degrees Celsius.
