Post falsely claims sitting in 40°C water helps in weight loss
A social media post claimed that sitting in chest-deep water at 40°C can cause rapid weight loss. Dr Ubaid ur Rahman told THIP Media that chest-deep immersion in 40-degree celsius water only triggers temporary fluid loss, not fat reduction. A 2022 study confirms the weight returns once you rehydrate. Prolonged exposure also risks electrolyte imbalance, fatigue, and dehydration.
