6 Ways Your Hot Tub Can Improve Your Health

Our health and well-being is the most important thing we regularly neglect. We get caught up in our commitments and forget to take the time to take care of ourselves. Good news. You can start improving your well-being by soaking in a hot tub. In fact, it’s almost hard to believe you can enjoy the following benefits while relaxing, and doing nothing at all.

Relieve Back (and Other Muscle) Pain Naturally

Back pain is a common complaint as we age, and nearly everyone will experience it. Not only will regularly soaking in a hot tub decrease the intensity and duration of pain, it will also improve mobility. Heat relaxes the muscles and the jets amplify this relaxation with a massaging effect. Water also provides a gentle resistance, keeping your muscles from stiffening from inactivity. With regular use a hot tub will reduce your intake of anti-inflammatories and pain medication.

Improve Athletic Performance

Whether you are competing at a high level or competing against your personal best, a hot tub can still improve your health. A hot tub relaxes muscles, so you can push yourself today without fearing muscle soreness tomorrow. Hot tubs increase blood circulation, which counters the build-up of lactic acid (which causes muscle pain).

Soothe Arthritis Pain

The combination of muscular relaxation and increased circulation makes a hot tub ideal treatment to arthritis pain. Water’s gentle resistance also means you can strengthen your muscles without the risk of inflaming joint pain and compounding damage.

Improved Cardiovascular Health

This comes as a surprise to many, but slipping into a hot tub can improve your heart health. The warm water raises your body temperature, improving circulation, increasing your heart rate and lowering your blood pressure. If you submerge your body up to your neck then the added pressure encourages your heart to work harder. Overall, this means that a soak in the hot tub simulates mild exercise. So regularly using your hot tub can contribute to lowering your blood pressure. However, this also means that those with a history of cardiovascular issues should consult a doctor before using a hot tub.

Prevent Headaches

By relieving muscle tension you may be able to stop the headaches you’ve been plagued with. Tension headaches often precede migraines, but can be relieved through a relaxing soak. Sufferers of sinus and cluster headaches can also decrease the likelihood of a headache. A hot tub’s steam fights congestion and the associated sinus pain.

Mental Health

A hot tub can help relax your mind as well as your body. Stress causes tension and tension contributes to stress. Taking time with friends (or alone) in a hot tub eases your body and mind. It can also mitigate the effect of increased blood pressure. Regularly using your hot tub is useful in treating chronic anxiety and insomnia —since a hot tub raises your body temperature it works as a great, all-natural sleep aid.
