“Glucose levels didn't change, but insulin levels were lower.”
“Thomas added, "The exposure to hot temperatures made the body work better, but not just while the participants were sitting in a hot tub—we also saw the heart having to work less hard days after they'd been immersed."”
40 degrees Celsius is 104 degrees Fahrenheit.

Or, you can stop screwing around with it, resolve your chromium, vanadium, and potassium deficiencies.....and get rid of it all together.
Sheeeeezzz. The information has been out there for, what, 50 years?
My understanding is that high glucose levels in T2 diabetics are the primary source of damage to a person's organs and blood vessels. So, how much real benefit is there to lowering insulin levels without lowering glucose levels?
“...monitor the participants’ deep body temperature...”
That sounds painful.
***Dr. Thomas James, said, “We also found that participants were burning less calories…”***
Fewer calories. Doc, it’s just not that hard. If you can handle biochemistry, you can handle basic English grammar.
Sorry, everyone, rant off.
I’ll get back to being merry in two more seconds!
101.3-102.2 F
“The small-scale study involved immersing 14 participants with type 2 diabetes in 40°C water for one hour, eight to 10 times within a two-week period until slightly brown and well done.”
I like using hot tubs... if using them is good for me, even better. However, I find the chlorine smell at the gym whirlpool to be objectionable and I can’t believe that inhaling what comes of the water to be healthy... chloromides or whatever. If I’m wrong to not be concerned about that, so be it.....
An average adult should spend between 15 and 30 minutes in their hot tub. If the water temperature is 104° F (40° C), the maximum safe time is 15 minutes. If the water temperature is between 95-100° F, you should be able to stay in hot tubs for 30 minutes.
You can be able to enjoy a longer soak if the ambient temperature is on the cool side just under 99 degrees and down to 97 degrees. If you stay in a 104 degree tub for an hour, you will lose a large amount of water in your system through sweating so you should hydrate yourself while in the tub. (Not alcohol)
If you have any of the following diseases, you should seek your doctor’s advice about using your hot tub safely:
High blood pressure
Allergy
Bacteria & viruses
Pregnant
Heart disease
These problems can in some cases be dangerous. This article reminds me of drugs advertised on television. For every cure there are a dozen problems that could be brought on by the use of the medicine.

How about skipping all carbs except green vegetables? Or one can continue overloading blood glucose until insulin resistance develops.
A hot tub, Jameson’s and water, a starry moonless night, yacht rock... it has to be good for you.
I’ve been trying to convince my wife that we need a hot tub for decades. Now is my chance.
“It for my health…honest.”
