Relaxing in front of a crackling fire is one of the most enjoyable ways
to spend a cold winter evening. And now scientists know why. Watching a
fire lowers blood pressure, according to new University of Alabama
research. Our enjoyment of gazing at fire may be rooted in evolution, as
the act of gathering around a fire dates back to prehistoric times.
The researchers found an average of a 5% decrease in blood pressure
among participants who watched the fire with sound. The longer they
watched the fire, the more relaxed they became.
