Why a Hot Tub? FEEL YOUNGER!

Water has it's own healing properties.

Who doesn't want that?  

Anyone who owns a hot tub can testify to the benefits of enjoying regular mini soaks.

But what if you learned there is scientific evidence that proves using a hot tub ACTUALLY slows the aging process down?

HEALING WATERS  " Our bodies are constantly trying to seek a physiological balance point called homeostasis. This state preserves optimum function despite changes in position, activity, stress, aging or disease. The effort to find homeostasis is what propels most of the functional adaptations that occur during immersion in water, with some changes being immediate and others only after a period of time. Like many adaptations, a cascade of other physiological changes occur, some sequentially and some concurrently. Here’s how it works: Because water compresses the body, it pushes blood into the deep vessels during immersion. As the bather steps into deeper water, blood is pushed upward, first into the large capacity vessels of the pelvis and abdomen. Then as depth increases yet further, blood is pushed above the diaphragm into the chest. With neck depth immersion, nearly three-quarters of a quart of blood is displaced, with two-thirds of it going into large pulmonary vessels and one-third into the heart."

A Hot Tubber's Point of View

If you thought your hot tub was just for fun, read on! 

Warm and Rested
Ah… Winter can be cozy if we hibernate properly with sufficient sleep and healthy heat, to keep our immune systems strong. Here’s a tootsie tip: keep your feet warm and dry with good wooly socks.  A 2005 study by the Common Cold Centre in Cardiff (United Kingdom) reported that subjects who had their feet chilled in ice water developed colds 2.6 times more frequently.

Why?  Viruses thrived in the frigid-foot folks because the temperature plunge constricted the blood vessels in their noses, preventing delivery of infection-fighting white blood cells.
 
Drinking beverages like tea and hot apple cider by a roaring fireplace, wrapped in a quilt over thick cotton pajamas, after a steaming hot bath or shower, is also a sure recipe for both comfort and cold-and-flu resistance.  Also, try a sauna!  A 1990 University of Vienna study with 25 sweaty volunteers discovered that there were “significantly fewer episodes of common cold in the sauna group.”  

Hot tubs provide similar benefits.
