Authored by Jonathan B. “J.B.” Smith, Ed.D., Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Hot Water & Healthy Living includes more than 25 sources of scholarly scientific research presented in a manner that is understandable by both experts and laypersons.
Dr. Bruce Becker, noted researcher at Washington State University, studied the effect immersion in varying temperatures of water—cool, neutral and warm—has on healthy adults. “After about 20 minutes, the central nervous system patterns of the subjects in warm water were essentially identical to those of people who are relaxed and focused.Other studies have found that it decreases depression and anxiety,” said Dr. Becker.
Hot Water & Healthy Living provides a thorough review of how the pressure and warmth of warm-water immersion causes the heart to pump more blood, the chest to work harder to breathe, and the mind and body to relax. “The effects of aquatic immersion are profound, and impact virtually every body system,” summarized Dr. Becker.
