8. Feeling better with ourselves



Life is full of stressful events, and a hot bath can be that shoulder you need to cry on. Take a good soak and try to relax, it's known that when we feel better physically, we get more confident in ourselves, more convinced we are up to the challenged ahead.

A hot tub is a great way to reduce daily anxiety as well. Very few of us are aware of just how much the body's physical state increases our levels of perceived anxiety.

9. Helping our cough and flu symptoms



The hot steam of a hot bath can dry out the mucus accumulating in our throat, which is one of the most common reasons for ongoing coughing. In addition, a hot bath can also alleviate symptoms of flu. Taking a 10-15 minute hot-soak-breaks can really help you feel better while your body is getting rid of the disease.

We may not like the wrinkled skin we get after a hot bath, but it actually has a good effect on it. The warm water leave the skin moist for longer, and so prevent it from drying up and getting those little cracks that often appear on dry skin.
