Study Shows Link Between Hot Water and Blood Pressure

The recent study examines the immediate effect of lying in hot water at 40°C for 30 minutes on blood pressure, particularly among overweight or obese elderly individuals with hypertension. The results showed a significant decrease in systolic blood pressure by about 6 mmHg and diastolic pressure by approximately 10 mmHg, along with greater dilation of small blood vessels and increased blood flow afterward. It is believed that the direct heating of the skin and the elevated body temperature contribute to this effect, but researchers warn that the impact of this method is temporary, and further studies are needed to determine its effectiveness as a supplement to physical activity programs, especially for people who find it difficult to engage in exercise.
