According to a research at Loughborough University, soaking in a hot bath is as good as a 30-minute walk if you are aiming for weight loss. For the purpose of this study, researchers worked with 14 men. Participants undertook 2 tests. In one, they had to take a one-hour bicycle ride. In the other test, the participants had to take a relaxing soak in in 104-degree-Fahrenheit water. Well, this study prove that the cycling was better at burning calories. But researchers also saw that the 1-hour bath helps the participants burn about 130 calories. This is what you achieve in a half-hour walk. Researchers say that a hot bath can also reduce inflammation and regulate blood sugar levels. Also Read - Engage your core: The best workouts to lose belly fat fast

They further add that ‘lack of sleep increases the stimulus to consume more food and increases appetite-regulating hormones’.

Know anyone who has recently lost oodles of weight? Well, maybe you need to cultivate that person as a friend. According to research at the Miriam Hospital’s Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center and The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, weight loss is contagious.
