Full-day activities, especially ones that use a lot of muscles such as long-standing, long sitting, or other energy-draining activities often stiffen the muscles. If it is not handled correctly, it will certainly interfere with your work activities and productivity.


After a long day at work, taking a warm shower is one of the best ways to unwind. Many people fancy standing under a hot shower to relax, and some people prefer to soak in a warm bath mixed with essential oils while reading a book and enjoying music.


Warm water baths have long been believed to be beneficial for health, including relieving soreness. There is also 'heat therapy' which is thermotherapy to soothe injury and treat pain with warm water.

 

The cause of muscle soreness is a buildup of lactic acid waste in the muscles due to excessive use. In theory, soaking the ached body in warm water improves blood circulation. Simply put, warm water widens blood vessels and increases blood flow.


When taking a bath using warm water, you can stretch your body parts such as your neck, shoulders, waist, or other body parts that feel stiff. You can also lightly massage the body. If you have a shower, stand under it for about 10 minutes. The water pressure from the shower is a natural massage that helps relieve sore and stiff muscles. Also, soaking the ached body parts with warm water can relax the joints, thereby reducing any inflammation, swelling, or pain.


Make sure the temperature of the water is warm and not too hot. Scalding water can increase the risk of burning your skin. Set the water temperature to be warm. Warm water is suitable to help reduce aches all over the body, while hot water can harm your skin and body.


By using a water heater from Ariston, your warm shower is guaranteed to be more comfortable with the support of the latest technology. For example, the Ariston Andris2 Lux product with a comprehensive security system has a scalding prevention feature that will send a notification when your hot water has reached an accurate, safe and comfortable temperature. So, don't worry about the water you use for bathing will be too hot or too cold, fellas!
