Fun Ways to Lower Blood Pressure

For those of you with high blood pressure, you must be happy to hear this news. In addition to maintaining food intake and exercise, there are fun ways to lower blood pressure, which is by soaking in warm water.

In the Journal of Applied Physiology, bathing with high-temperature water for one hour can trigger the release of chemicals that can prevent inflammation as well as exercise.


 The researchers analyzed the body condition of ten men who were inactive and overweight after they were asked to soak in a bathtub. The bathtub is filled with water at 38 degrees Celsius for one hour.

The results showed that only a hot bath can increase the levels of the chemical element IL-6 in the bloodstream. This increase usually occurs in people who do high physical activity.

Soaking in warm water also triggers the release of nitric oxide which relaxes blood vessels and therefore lowers blood pressure.
