Broadcaster Choi Hwa-jeong (63) revealed habits that help with dieting.

 

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

A video titled "Choi Hwajeong's Bathroom Items First Reveal" has been posted.

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

 

 

Choi Hwajeong said, "I stay well at the bathhouse," and "I also plan the day's schedule and decide what tasks to do today."

"Having a cup of tea is really healing," she said, "I sip my tea while reading things like this (a book). I'm not trying to be elegant, but this is my morning routine. That's why this is my favorite place."

 

Choi Hwa-jeong said, "Even just taking a half-body bath every day helps lose some weight (the time should be) over 20 minutes," and added, "But when I read a book, 20 minutes pass quickly. That's why my body swells. If I do it at a public bathhouse, 10 minutes feels so long."

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

 

Half-body baths are a method of bathing where only the chest or below the navel is submerged in warm water.

The reason why half-body baths help with weight loss is that they raise body temperature and promote metabolism. According to research, taking a half-body bath for an hour can burn the same number of calories as a 30-minute walk.

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

 

In particular, taking a half-body bath before exercise can relax the muscles and reduce the risk of injury.

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

 

The water temperature for half-body baths should be slightly higher than body temperature, around 37 to 38 degrees Celsius.

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

Using a bathtub cover is more effective for maintaining temperature.

 

Stop immediately if you feel dizzy or suffocated during half-body bathing.

 

The appropriate time for a half-body bath is about 20 to 30 minutes. If dizziness occurs during the bath,

If shortness of breath occurs, it must be stopped immediately. Too long a duration

Be careful, as taking a half-body bath can actually lead to dehydration.

 

 

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

Varicose veins are a condition in which the valves in the calves lose their function, causing blood to flow backward and accumulate in the veins.

Soaking the calves in hot water at this time can cause the veins to relax, potentially worsening varicose veins.

 

For people with generally weak stamina who feel dizzy and exhausted when sweating, half-body baths may be too strenuous.

Even if you have a skin condition and a weakened skin barrier, soaking in a half-body bath can make your skin more sensitive, so caution is advised.
