Weight loss doctor Liu Bowen pointed out that hot spring bathing is most effective for obesity in the lower body. Generally speaking, soaking in 40 degrees Celsius hot water for 10 minutes can consume about 500 calories. It not only consumes calories, but also helps to increase the metabolic rate, making it easy to lose weight without burden.

Especially in winter, there are many benefits to taking a hot spring bath. Not only can it reduce the load on joints and muscles, but soaking in it will also cause the ingredients in the hot spring to produce a unique reaction on the skin, helping to adjust body functions. In addition, hot springs are rich in various minerals, which can help increase the metabolic rate through skin contact.

Do more stretching in the hot spring to sculpt your lower body

In addition, although the effect of hot spring bathing will vary depending on the water temperature and bathing time, generally speaking, the calories burned in an average of 30 minutes of hot spring bathing are equivalent to jogging 1,000 meters. Therefore, as long as you can master the essentials, it will help to achieve the effect of losing weight by bathing.

In particular, hot spring bathing is suitable for sculpting the curves of the lower body. By using the buoyancy of the water, you can do simple limb stretching and massage movements, such as lifting your legs, or massaging your arms, hips, waist, legs and any other parts that can be slimmed down, to make the shaping effect of the lower body more significant.

Bath salt bath makes your skin smooth and not dry

Dr. Liu Bowen emphasized that it is often found in clinical practice that most girls have the problem of cold hands and feet in winter. The benefit of taking a hot spring bath frequently is that hot springs can help warm the body, dilate blood vessels in the body, promote blood circulation, help accelerate lymphatic detoxification, strengthen heart and lung function, and thus help lose weight.

If you want to enhance the effect of eliminating edema, it is recommended to take a bath with bath salts. Add 15 to 20 grams of coarse salt in half a bathtub, and then take a half-body bath to the waist, or you can soak your hands to the wrists and your feet to the ankles. However, it should be noted that try not to use ordinary table salt when taking a bath. The skin used with bath salts is smoother and less dry.

Tips on the 1505 rule for hot spring weight loss

Doctors remind us that the most important secret to losing weight in hot springs is the "1505 rule", which focuses on: soak for 15 minutes, get up and rest for 5 minutes. The key is "soak → stand up → soak again", and repeat this 2 to 3 times. But remember, it is strictly forbidden to eat or drink water within 1 hour after bathing. As long as you persist, you will be able to lose weight successfully.

It should be noted that you need to "warm up" before taking a hot spring bath. If you are in an indoor personal pool, you can first add hot water to raise the temperature, or pat your whole body with a wet towel to allow your body to adapt to the temperature of the spring water before soaking in the bath. At 40 degrees Celsius, it is best not to stay up to 10 minutes each time, but if you feel unwell, you should get up and rest.

[Doctor's reminder]:

Pregnant women or people with weak bodies are advised to avoid soaking in hot springs due to their special physical conditions. People with symptoms of arteriosclerosis, hypertension, heart disease, or diabetes should not suddenly soak in hot springs. It is also not advisable to soak in the hot springs just after a meal or when you are drunk, otherwise your blood vessels may contract rapidly, which may lead to accidents. In addition, when you are tired from traveling, physically and mentally, you should take a short rest and restore your strength before taking a bath.
