“Me Time” is Better in a Hot Tub
September is self-improvement month, which is a great time to focus more on improving yourself through your own actions. This includes setting new goals and eliminating negative things holding you back from progressing.
The best way to go about self-improvement is to have some “me time.” And one way to sneak in some “me time” in your schedule is soaking in a hot tub. Soaking in a hot tub ideally, 20 minutes daily works wonders when it comes to decompressing and improving your health and general well-being.
Read on to learn more about the benefits of a daily soak and why “me time” is always better in a hot tub.
- Reduces Stress
Stress is a common factor in our everyday life. From parenting, commuting to and from work, and beating strict work deadlines, there’s a lot to deal with. When not properly addressed, stress can pile up and lead to serious health problems such as depression, blood pressure, and heart conditions.
One of the best ways to decompress and relieve stress after a long day is a soak in a hot tub. The warm water and jet massages melt stress away by relieving stress symptoms, including headaches, muscle pains, and digestive issues.
- Promotes Better Sleep
The CDC recommends adults get more than seven hours of sleep each night. Lack of or inadequate sleep can lead to issues such as bad moods, reduced productivity, depression, and feeding problems, to mention a few.
If you have difficulty sleeping, one of your self-improvement goals this month should be to improve your sleep quality. A natural way to achieve this is having a 20-minute soak in a hot tub. Soaking in a hot tub melts away all your physical, emotional, and mental stress so that you don’t struggle to fall asleep when you get to bed.
- Improves Heart Health
Having some “me time” in a hot tub also helps improve heart health. The warm water causes the blood vessels to dilate, promoting a smooth flow of blood to and from the heart. This improved blood flow increases heart rate and lowers blood pressure, thus boosting cardiovascular health.
- Improved Skin Health
A 20-minute soak in a hot tub can also help you achieve healthy, glowing skin. The steam from the hot tub water opens the skin’s pores so that dirt, grime, and excess oil can be removed. Besides, when you immerse yourself in a hot tub, you’re likely to sweat, which is a great way to remove toxins from the skin. This skin cleansing promotes healthier, glowing, and younger-looking skin.
- Reliefs Muscle Pains
While muscle and joint pains are common as we age, if left unattended they could take a toll on you. Spending a few minutes in a hot tub can reduce the stiffness in your muscles and joints, taking away your pain.
The soothing effect of the warm water takes the weight off your body, relaxing sore muscles. Having some “me time” in a hot tub can also help you manage conditions such as chronic back pain, arthritis, and fibromyalgia.
