Hot bath versus saunas: Which is more effective for heart health? Study answers
Do you think trendy sauna sessions are the key to better health? Think again. A recent study led by Jessica Atencio and Christopher Minson from the University of Oregon suggests that something as simple as a hot bath can offer surprising health benefits. In fact, soaking in a hot bath may significantly boost heart health — without the need to hit the gym or go for a run. Also read | Cold shower or warm bath? Ayurveda expert on what's better for you in winter Heading straight to a hot bath can boost your heart health.(Freepik) The scientists picked 20 healthy adults for the study and tested three sessions of heated immersions to understand how hot baths can affect the body. It was observed that hot water immersion can lead to greater thermoregulatory, cardiovascular, and immune responses compared to saunas. While wellness influencers suggest saunas for health reasons, hot baths might be cheaper, more effective, and an at-home therapy to boost heart health. The study, published in the American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology, on June 9, 2025, states that instead of opting for traditional or infrared saunas, a 45-minute soak in hot water can do more dramatic physiological changes. Also read | Reasons you should consider taking a soak in hot water spring Here's why you need to take hot baths often.(Freepik) The study authors, in the paper, added, 'This study indicates that a single session of hot water immersion leads to the greatest physiological strain compared with both traditional and far infrared saunas due to the unique environmental challenge imparted by whole body water immersion. The large increase in core temperature elicited by hot water immersion results in cardiovascular strain and immunological alterations, which may lead to beneficial health adaptations with repeated exposures.' Why hot water is so effective: The study authors noted that water can conduct heat 24 times more than air. When we are submerged in hot water, the body receives constant heating, unlike saunas where the temperature keeps varying and the body also starts to cool down due to sweating. But when the body is submerged in water, it cuts down the tendency of cooking by sweat evaporation.

AIIMS gastroenterologist rates common beverages for women's gut health: Lemon water to green tea
Jun 30, 2025 02:07 PM IST Do you drink lemon water first thing after you wake up in the morning? Is unsweetened green tea a part of your weight loss diet? If yes, then it is important to know how these beverages affect your gut health. In a video posted on June 29, Dr Saurabh Sethi, a gastroenterologist trained at Harvard, Stanford and AIIMS universities, listed 10 beverages and rated them on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the best) on how they benefit women's gut health. Lemon water is one of the most popular weight loss drinks, but is it good for your gut health? (Freepik) Also Read | Cardiologist explains why you need to have dinner at least 3 hours before sleeping Sharing the list of drinks and their rating based on women's gut health, Dr Sethi wrote, 'Harvard and Stanford-trained gastroenterologist rates common beverages for their benefit on women's gut health on a scale of 1-10 (10 is the Best). A must-watch if you care about your digestion, energy, and long-term health.' Here's how he rated a few common drinks: Unsweetened green tea: 8 Beetroot juice: 6 Lemon water: 5 Unsweetened vegetable juice: 4 Smoothies with no added sugar: 7 Store-bought fruit juice: 1 Freshly squeezed fruit juice: 3 Sweetened tea: 2 Kefir or buttermilk: 9 Water: 10 What happens when you drink lemon water for 30 days? Lemon water, which the gastroenterologist rated 5 out of 10, is one of the most common drinks people have during their weight loss or gut healing journey. In another video, Dr Sethi talked about what happens if you drink lemon water for 30 days. According to the expert, 'Lemons are packed with 30 different beneficial plant compounds. Freshly squeezed lemon juice is the best, as it has not gone through pasteurisation, so it retains more of its nutrients. The natural acidity can help your body absorb minerals more efficiently, especially iron. They are also a great source of vitamin C, which supports collagen production for healthy skin, joints, and connective tissues.' However, he warned, if you have acid reflux, lemon water might actually make your symptoms worse because it is an acid.

Surgeon shares 5 warning signs of vein disease that could signal a bigger health concern: From swelling to leg cramps
From long hours of standing to poor circulation, our modern lifestyle is putting more pressure on our veins than ever before. While many people dismiss leg cramps, swelling, or visible veins as normal, these could actually be warning signs of vein disease, a condition that's far more common and serious than most realise. Symptoms like leg cramping and swelling may indicate serious vein issues. (Freepik) Dr Sumit Kapadia, vascular surgeon and varicose vein specialist, shared in his Instagram post five key signs that could indicate underlying vein trouble and why you shouldn't wait to seek medical attention. (Also read: Surgeon shares 6 early signs your body may be warning you about poor gut health: 'Are you always tired or bloated?' ) "As a vascular surgeon, I often see patients who delay seeking treatment for vein issues, thinking they're minor. The truth is, early detection and management are important to prevent serious complications," Dr Sumit wrote in the caption. Let's take a closer look at the five signs of vein disease that Dr Sumit says should never be ignored: 1. Persistent leg pain or cramping If you experience constant pain, aching, or cramping in your legs, especially after long periods of standing or sitting, it may indicate venous insufficiency or early stages of varicose veins. 2. Swelling in legs or ankles Frequent swelling in the lower extremities, particularly at the end of the day, maybe a sign of poor blood flow or blood pooling in the veins. 3. Visible varicose or spider veins While many think varicose or spider veins are just cosmetic concerns, they can be a sign of underlying vein disease, particularly if they are painful or inflamed. 4. Skin changes or discolouration Brown, purple, or reddish discolouration around the ankles and lower legs, as well as thickened or scaly skin, can signal chronic venous insufficiency or even the development of venous ulcers. 5. Leg ulcers that don't heal Non-healing sores or ulcers, especially around the ankles, are one of the most serious signs of advanced vein disease and require immediate medical attention. According to Dr Sumit, ignoring these symptoms can lead to complications like blood clots and deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
