    Stroke or heart attack (or shooting up after a long tolerance break) alone in a body of water has an immediate cause of death of drowning.

    The cause of the immediate cause of death isn’t known until autopsy.

        Hot Tubs feel great, but they wreak havoc on the circulatory system.

        Spike your blood pressure something fierce.

            Soaking in a bathtub or basking in a sauna can be a pleasant way to relax. Done on a regular basis, both habits may also help prevent heart attacks and strokes, according to several studies.

            “The high temperatures in a warm tub or sauna cause your blood vessels to dilate, which lowers blood pressure,” says Dr. Adolph Hutter, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. The volume of blood your heart pumps will also rise, especially in a hot tub. That’s a result of the pressure of the water on the body, which increases the heart’s workload, he explains.

              So actually comprehending this, if that is what I’m doing, the heat is causing your body to do what it does when your blood pressure is spiking, but since you are in a body of water, the weight of the water is changing the atmospheric pressure on the the body, and nets to lower blood pressure.

              Heat is making the heart pump harder, and the blood move faster, but the atmospheric pressure is dilating the blood cells, resulting in net lower PB.

              Kinda sounds like “wreaking havoc on the circulatory system”. Same as rigorous exercise weeks havoc on the circulatory system.

              Overdo stress on the circulatory system, get heart attack or stroke.

            Sounds like it’s not as simple as I thought it was.

            Pretty sure I’m still pretty accurate on the “wreaks havoc” part.

              Indeed, hot baths are so harmful to your health, which is one of the reasons why the Japanese have one of the shortest lifespans on the planet - it’s because of those daily hot baths and onsen that they partake in.

                What a dipshit argument.

                Ya, if you run 5 miles a day every day, you’re gonna be in great shape.

                If you snort mountains of coke and eat cake without any exercise for 20 years and then force yourself to run for 5 miles, you’re going to blow your heart out.

                Recent studies say for most people, a half hour in the hot tub is the equivelent of a half hour run. It is intense on the circulatory system.

                If you are saying Mathew Perry had the diet and physical activity level, and hence the circulatory system of a 54 year old Japanese man, then youvare a dipshit.
