Description: Text reads 'Taking a long soak in a hot tub during winter may spell trouble for the heart. Japanese study'. A woman runs a cold bath for her husband who is shivering in anticipation; she says 'You'll thank me one day. I've just poured you a nice ice-cold bath'. Context - Taking a hot bath on a cold day may spell trouble for the heart, said a team led by Chika Nishiyama, at Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine School of Nursing, with the rate of cardiac arrests during bathing rising ten-fold from summer to winter. The findings could be especially significant in Japan, where bathing is a key part of life both at home and as a form of recreation, with people flocking to the country's numerous hot springs for long, relaxing soaks.
