There are many benefits for owning a hot tub. They are a combination of physical, mental and social. From relaxing your tired muscles, calming your anxiety/stress levels, to prising phones and such from the hands of younger family members! The list is endless and the hot tub solution very effective!
SOCIAL HEALTH
Family Time
Ever get tired of seeing other family members sitting aimlessly in front of the
television or haplessly scrolling on their phones? Well, fear not! A hot tub can solve even these issues! A hot tub can bring a family together by re-engaging conversation and in turn help build relationship(s), without the distraction of i.t. outside forces!
If conversation becomes thin on the ground, how about a waterproof game of cards? Or a word game?
Party Time
Have a few friends coming over and wonder what to do with them? Theme your hot tub for a special event, throw on the lights, some atmospheric music running through the speakers and away you go!
A study in the North American Journal of Medical Sciences highlighted many the many benefits of using a hot tub:
MENTAL HEALTH
Anxiety, Stress and Depression
Did you know that a soak in a hot tub can help relieve anxiety and stress? When sharing with a loved one you release endorphins (mood elevators) that aid with reducing these symptoms.
Improved Sleep Quality
- Hot water is known to relieve tired muscles. It also increases your circulation, lowers your heart rate and blood pressure which in turn, makes you drowsy before you sleep. The perfect way to ensuring your sleep is a quality sleep.
PHYSICAL HEALTH
Reduces Pain, Promoting Healing
Chronic muscle or joint aches can be alleviated with the aid of hydrotherapy which is renowned for it’s healing properties. Soothing those aches and pains can be as easy as a dip in a tub.
Reduces Arthritic Pain
The Arthritis Foundation acknowledges the fact that hydrotherapy aids in the reduction of arthritic pain and decreases swelling and stiffness associated with arthritis.
Fibromyalgia Pain
Those inflicted with this type of pain find difficulty in sleeping and exercising. The jets in a hot tub stimulate circulation and aids in decreasing blood flow making it easier and less painful to move around.
Exercise - Ever climbed into a hot bath and felt miles better post work out? Climb into a hot tub and feel even better! With the help of powerful jets massaging those tired muscles, that extra burn you felt whilst training will melt away. Pre-workout soaks also aid in warming up muscles too - which reduces the risk of injury.
Blood Sugar Levels
Hot tub heat helps dilute blood vessels resulting in better blood circulation, thus reducing your blood sugar levels - especially beneficial for some people with diabetes.
With all water based activities, always ensure you play safe...
