3. How To Activate TRPV1 With Hot Baths
A long, hot bath can activate TRPV1 receptors similar to a sauna session. The heat turns on your fat-burning metabolism through these receptors. Plus, hot baths provide additional benefits:
Soaking in hot water forces sweating, releasing toxins, salts, and excess water weight that cause bloating. The boosted circulation also ensures nutrients reach your tissues.
The heat elevates your core body temperature. The higher it goes, the more calories you passively burn both during and after the bath. This boosts daily energy expenditure.
Hot baths are also relaxing. They lower blood pressure and your stress hormone cortisol. High cortisol encourages belly fat storage, so hot baths counteract this.
The immersion and high temperature also activate sensory nerves that influence mood. Hot baths promote mental relaxation while reducing anxiety and depression.
