Do you like to take a shower or a long shower? Only one of these is good for your health

Do you still remember the last time you took a shower and really enjoyed what you were doing? According to the University of Oregon in the USA, the benefits of taking a prolonged bath are many. Regular and prolonged hot water showers help reduce blood pressure, which is the cause of heart disease.

Prolonged baths in hot water increase the concentration of nitric oxide in the blood and dilate the blood vessels. This reaction of the body is great for improving the lining of blood vessels and for improving their functioning, thus preventing cardiovascular diseases.

When the body temperature increases by another 10°C, the bath helps to burn up to 140 calories, the same as a 30-minute walk. Those who take a long bath three times a week can lose one kilo a month without great efforts. The moment of the bath should be as pleasant and relaxing as possible so that its effects are felt by the body.
