In a study completed by Loughborough University, scientists carried out an experiment on the effects of a hot bath on blood sugar control. Their investigations conclude that a hot bath can burn up to 140 calories. Consequently, taking a hot bath was equivalent to taking a 30-minute walk. Good to know as the cold weather sets in.

If you struggle to drift off at night a hot bath could be just what you need! When a tense body is emerged in hot water its temperature increases which relaxes the muscles. Therefore, soothing you not only physically but mentally before bedtime. A 20-minute soak is all it takes, and you must always be careful not to fall asleep in the bath.
