Transcend Into Wellness with a 20-Minute Hot Tub Soak
Hot tubs are often seen as a luxury item. But did you know that a mere 20-minute soak session in a hot tub every day is good for your health? This is why hot tubs are much more than a luxury – they’re an investment in your health and wellness!
Researchers including Dr. Doreen Stiskal of Seton Hall University and Dr. Bruce Becker from Washington State University have studied the positive effects of warm water immersion therapy on individuals for a number of years. Read on to learn more about what they, and other researchers, have discovered.
Hot Tubs Offer Ongoing Pain Relief
Because water is buoyant, it significantly reduces the pressurizing effects of gravity on the muscles and joints of arthritis sufferers. As a result, those with arthritis and other joint/ligament conditions can have less pain and be more comfortable after a 20-minute soak in a hot tub.
Hot Tubs Calm Your Nerves
Dr. Becker’s research found that soaking in warm water for approximately 20 minutes has a similar effect on the nervous system as meditation does. Some of these effects include:
- Reduction in stress levels
- Promotion of self-reflection and emotional balance
- Reduction in anxiety
Because of the relaxing effects of soaking in a tub, a number of other positive benefits follow suit including improved quality and duration of sleep, better self-confidence, and an improved overall sense of personal well-being.
Hot Tubs Boost Cardiovascular Health
Immersing your body in warm water all the way up to your neck means giving your body a great cardio workout without having to hit the pavement or the treadmill. Water puts pressure on your body which increases your cardiac volume and forces your heart to naturally work harder and become stronger. Sitting in a hot tub can also lower your blood pressure which reduces your risk of suffering from heart disease or hypertension.
