Choi Hwa-jung: "I lose weight by doing this every day?" "Just 20 minutes is enough."

Broadcaster Choi Hwa-jeong (63) revealed a habit that helps with dieting.

 

On the 18th, Choi Hwa-jeong's YouTube channel posted 'Jaw-dropping

A video titled 'Choi Hwa-jeong's bathroom items revealed for the first time' was posted.

In the video, Choi Hwa-jung revealed a bathroom decorated to her own taste.

 

 

Choi Hwa-jeong said, “I’m having a good time at the bathhouse,” and “I decide what to do today and what order to do it in here.”

"Drinking a cup of tea is truly healing," she said. "I sip tea and read books. I'm not trying to be elegant, but this is my morning routine. That's why this is my favorite space."

 

Choi Hwa-jeong continued, "Even if you just take a half-body bath every day, you'll lose some weight. (The time) should be at least 20 minutes." She added, "But if you read a book, 20 minutes goes by quickly. That's why you gain weight. If you do it in a public bath, 10 minutes feels like a long time."

Taking a half-body bath boosts your metabolism and promotes calorie burning.

 

A half-body bath is a bathing method in which you immerse yourself in warm water up to your navel or pubic area.

The reason half-body baths are beneficial for weight loss is because they raise body temperature and boost metabolism. Studies show that an hour-long half-body bath can burn the same number of calories as a 30-minute walk.

Half-body baths are also effective in relieving muscle tension, improving blood circulation, and reducing body swelling.

 

Taking a half-body bath, especially before exercising, can relax your muscles and reduce the risk of injury.

Taking a half-body bath before bed relaxes the body and promotes deep sleep.

 

The water temperature for a half-body bath is appropriate at 37-38 degrees, which is slightly higher than body temperature.

At first, fill the bathtub with only about two-thirds of the water, and when the water temperature drops, fill it with water to maintain the temperature.

Using a bathtub cover is more effective at maintaining temperature.

 

If you feel dizzy or suffocated during a half-body bath, stop immediately.

 

The appropriate time for a half-body bath is 20 to 30 minutes. If you feel dizzy during the half-body bath,

If you experience difficulty breathing, stop immediately. If you take it for too long,

You should also be careful when taking a half-body bath, as this can actually cause dehydration.

 

 

If you have varicose veins, it is best to avoid half-body baths.

Varicose veins are a disease in which the calf valves lose their function, causing blood to flow backward and causing a large amount of blood to accumulate in the veins.

Soaking your calves in hot water at this time can cause the veins to relax, which can worsen varicose veins.

 

Also, people who are usually weak and feel dizzy and tired when they sweat may find half-body baths difficult.

If you have a skin condition and a weak skin barrier, you should be careful as half-body baths can make your skin sensitive.
