Guys Take Baths Too

When I picture a bath, it’s usually overflowing with bubbles, surrounded by candles with a woman’s smooth leg popping out…. or else a little kid with a bubble hat splashing around. Rarely do I equate baths with men. Why? Some of the best male athletes in the world swear by Balneotherapy (mineral baths practiced for centuries) and ice baths post work out. (Check out @joshduhamel for some examples. You’re welcome).

The truth is, men should be taking baths. And often. The scientifically proven health benefits for the heart, lung and circulatory system are profound, especially considering many men are at risk for heart disease. The extra calorie burn, boost to the immune system and muscle recovery fit right into the lifestyle of a healthy man and the bath industry has caught on with more male focused bath products, brands and accessories hitting the market.

So ladies, it may be time to get used to seeing some manlier items around the bathtub…and perhaps you’ll see a hairy leg popping out from those bubbles.
