Hot baths for fitness
According to research the longevity of Japanese people is linked to the habit in the country to take a hot bath on a daily basis. Japan has some 27,000 natural hot springs. A hot bath has in addition to the cleaning effect the advantage to raise the body temperature, to relax the arteries and boost circulation thereby bringing oxygen to the cells in the body. People who take a daily hot bath reduce the risk of a stroke, for instance, by 30 percent.
