The benefits of taking a shower with warm water

Having a warm shower after a long day is one of life’s simplest luxuries. There is something calming about taking your time standing under the flow of warm water.

But did you know that there is more to showers than just washing away impurities and relaxing tired muscles? Other than being a regular part of our daily hygiene, taking warm showers can actually be considered a healthy routine. Here are four health benefits that will convince you to stay longer in the bathroom.

1. They are effective pick-me-uppers - Studies have proven that there is a science behind the calming qualities of warm showers. Showering with warm water helps with the production of oxytocin in the body, which is also dubbed as the love or bliss hormone due to its calming effect on behavior. So the next time you need fast relief from stress, run yourself a warm shower.

2. They help detoxify the body - Warm showers offer more than just stress relief. Evidence shows that this simple routine can help detoxify the body as well. The steam from hot showers opens pores and induces sweating, which then triggers the release of toxins.

3. They are an instant solution to a cold - Need instant relief for a cold? Hot showers are also an easy solution. Steam aids in moisturizing nasal passages which help with decongestion.

4. They give you better zzz’s - Warm showers also induce better sleep. Not only are they a treat in cold weather, they also trigger body temperature changes that promote better rest. Taking a shower with warm water before bedtime raises the body’s temperature, after which it will gradually lower once exposed to cooler air. This shift triggers the body to produce melatonin, which then cues the body to feel sleepy.

Taking warm showers are definitely a quick and easy option to enjoy these health benefits. For some though, the challenge lies in the very simple act of heating water. This shouldn’t be the case, especially with modern home technology taking the need for manual water heating out of the picture.
