Life is full of stressors that can leave you feeling drained and worn out on a daily basis. These day-to-day life happenings can easily make you feel off-kilter if you don’t make the time for yourself. That’s why it’s important to make it a point to immerse yourself in wellness and focus on giving yourself 20 minutes a day to soak in your hot tub.

Let’s take a look at the long-lasting benefits of immersing yourself in a hot tub each day, whether at the start of the day or the end. 

1. Stress Relief

One of the most popular benefits of soaking in a hot tub is relieving stress. The warm water and the massaging jets create a soothing effect that helps destress your body. The long-lasting benefits of stress relief go beyond the instant feeling of relaxation; they are greater than you can imagine. 

Stress is linked to various health conditions such as depression, blood pressure, and heart conditions. Therefore, managing stress by giving yourself 20 minutes a day to soak up the hot water keeps these critical health conditions at bay, helping you live a happy, healthy life.

2. Improved Sleep 

Another great benefit of immersing yourself in a hot tub is improved sleep. If you struggle with insomnia or erratic sleep patterns, a 20-minute soak in the hot tub before bed will help you achieve a deeper and more meaningful night’s rest.

Improved or enough sleep has numerous long-lasting benefits such as increased concentration and productivity, improved cardiovascular health, improved moods and social interaction, helping manage or lose weight, and enhanced memory.

3. Improved Heart Health

According to the National Library of Medicine, research conducted in 2016 revealed that intermittent hot water immersion (heat therapy) improved cardiovascular functions and blood pressure.

Improved cardiovascular functions mean a reduced risk of heart-related diseases, mortality, blood pressure, and organ failure. Besides, when your heart is functioning optimally, it circulates blood to and from all the vital organs of your body, boosting your overall health.

4. Pain Relief

Let’s face it…none of us are getting any younger. Immersing yourself in a hot tub either at the start or end of the day also helps in relieving pain. The soothing effect of the water soothes and relaxes sore muscles, joints, and tendons.

The hot water also dilates the blood vessels and promotes the smooth flow of blood to the sore muscles. Sufficient blood flow is efficient in relieving pain. The long-lasting benefit of regular pain relief is it helps manage a variety of conditions, including arthritis, chronic back pain, PMS cramps, muscle pains, headache, and fibromyalgia.

5. Improved Skin Health

Did you know a 20-minute soak in a hot tub also helps detoxify and cleanse the skin? The hot water and steam open up the skin’s pores, removing dead skin cells and clogged dirt, oil, and grime.

Soaking in a hot tub induces sweating, which is good for skin detoxification. Additionally, the hot water relaxes blood vessels, promoting the sufficient flow of blood into the skin vital for the production of collagen and elastin, which promotes good skin health. You can expect your regular soaks to promote healthier, glowing, firmer, and younger-looking skin.
