Excellent. Because just one glass of tea, hot or iced, can improve your heart health. That’s according to the journal Clinical Nutrition. Researchers found that when people drank just one glass of tea, their blood flow was 6.5 times higher than before they drank the tea. And better blood flow is key to reducing conditions like Type 2 diabetes and heart disease. It’s down to the flavonoid compounds in tea, which widen blood vessels, improving circulation and lowering blood pressure.

Not exactly. Here are the facts from researchers at the University of Maryland: Let’s talk about the Jacuzzi first. Yes, it’ll raise your core temperature…But bubbling away in a hot tub for 20 minutes only burns 5 more calories than spending that time on the couch, watching TV. It will, however, improve circulation. So what about a sauna? The dry heat will sweat away a few more calories than the hot tub, but the difference is negligible.
Bottom line: Enjoy a sauna or a Jacuzzi for the relaxation benefits…But don’t count on weight loss.

Soak your feet in hot water – while putting an icepack on the back of your neck.  That can divert blood flow away from your head – reducing your head pain in about 15 minutes. That’s according to the book, “The Natural Physician’s Healing Therapies.” And you can cut your risk of getting a headache in the first place by soaking in a steamy bath for 20 minutes, four times a week. The hot water will improve your circulation by dilating blood vessels.
