Relaxing in a hot bath both improves inflammation and lowers blood sugar levels, research suggests. 近期一项研究表明，洗一个放松的热水澡同时具有改善炎症以及降低血糖的功能。 Indulging in a warm soak for an hour triggers the release of a chemical that combats inflammation in the same way as exercise. 在热水中浸泡一个小时可以促进分泌一种对抗炎症的化学物质，和运动具有相同的效果。 Taking some time out in the tub also releases a substance that lowers blood pressure, the study also found. 同时该研究也发现，热水澡同时也可以降低血压。 A single hot soak also triggered the release of nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels and therefore decreases blood pressure. 热水澡可以促进一氧化一氮的产生，造成血管扩张，从而降低血压。 After the men's daily at-home baths, their blood sugar and insulin levels were lower while they were fasting and resting. 在受试者进行日常洗浴后，他们的血糖和胰岛素水平在其禁食和休息期间都有所降低。 The study was published in the Journal of Applied Physiology. 此项研究结果已经发表在《应用生理学》杂志上。 The researchers, led by PhD student Sven Hoekstra, believe a bath could 'improve aspects of the inflammatory profile and enhance glucose metabolism in sedentary, overweight males'. |
