有沒有一種輕鬆舒適不辛苦的減肥方法？
據說，洗澡燃燒的卡路里等同於步行30分鐘，是不是覺得減肥路上更輕鬆了呢？
The world seems to be going through a big health boom and the pressure to exercise excessively is everywhere.
全世界似乎正經歷一個健康大熱潮，過度運動的壓力無處不在。
But all we really want to do is to grab a bath bomb and take a nice long soak.
但我們真正想做的是玩玩氣泡彈，舒舒服服泡個澡。
Luckily, it turns out having a bath actually burns the same amount of calories as a 30-minute walk.
幸運的是，事實證明，洗澡燃燒的卡路里實際上等同於步行30分鐘。
That means there』s no need to worry about binge-watching Netflix and never making it to the gym.
這意味著沒必要擔心沉溺於觀看Netflix視頻，從來不去健身房。
It sounds unrealistic, but science has proved that you don』t need to perform strenuous cardio when you could be in the bath instead.
這聽起來不現實，但是科學已經證明，你不需要做劇烈的有氧運動，用泡澡替代即可。
In a study carried out by Loughborough University, 14 men were sent out on a one-hour bicycle ride and also given a one-hour soak at 104F.
拉夫堡大學進行了一項研究，14名男性一組騎一個小時的自行車， 另一組泡一個小時的熱水澡（40℃）。
The research found that the bike ride, as predicted, burned more calories.
研究發現, 不出所料， 騎自行車燃燒更多的卡路里。
However, the bath soak still managed to burn a whopping 130 calories — the same as a 30-minute walk.
然而，泡澡還是燃燒了高達130卡路里—和步行30分鐘燃燒的卡路里一樣。
Researchers believe it was the rise in core temperature which caused the calories to burn off.
研究人員認為這是核心溫度上升導致卡路里被燃燒。
Each participant also had their blood sugar monitored for 24-hours, and it was discovered that it was 10 percent lower after the bath.
每個參與者也進行了24小時血糖監測，結果發現泡澡後血糖降低了10%。
It doesn』t seem like the hardest decision to make — gym or bath? — but now, you can use this study as a guilt-free excuse.
去健身房還是泡澡不像是最難做的決定—但是現在，因為這項研究，你可以有借口不再心存負罪感了。
