 RELIEVE
STRESS—Affected by stress, the heart
works harder, breathing becomes more rapid and shallow, and digestion
slows. Nearly every process of the body is degraded. Researchers have
estimated that 80% of disease is stress related. Since we usually
can't avoid it, the key to dealing with stress is relieving it!
A soothing and relaxing soak
in a hot tub can help counteract stress and its effects on the human
body. It is the perfect antidote to a hectic and stressful lifestyle.
The warm water and soothing massage relieves anxiety and relaxes
tense muscles. Helps relieve high blood
pressure, headaches and chronic pain due to stress.

 EASE
ARTHRITIS PAIN— According to a
publication from The Arthritis Foundation, Spas, Pools, and Arthritis,
"Regular sessions in your hot tub helps keep joints moving.
It restores and preserves strength and flexibility, and also protects
your joints from further damage. Exercise can also improve a person's
coordination, endurance, and the ability to perform daily tasks,
and can lead to an enhanced sense of self-esteem and accomplishment."
Approximately 43 million people in the United States
suffer from some form of arthritis pain. The good news for these
victims is that there are safe and effective ways to both minimize
the discomfort and prevent further damage.
A hot tub fulfills the need perfectly providing
the warmth, massage, and buoyancy that is so necessary to the well-being
of arthritis sufferers. The buoyancy of the water supports and lessens
stress on the joints and encourages freer movement. Water exercises
may even act as a resistance
to help build muscle strength."
Heat warms up joints and decreases swelling.
It makes collagen tissue more stretchable, so you’ll move more
freely with less pain. Provides just enough resistance without aggravating
arthritic joints and weakened muscles. May help build muscle strength.

 BETTER
SLEEP— Studies suggest that immersion
in hot water (such as a hot tub which has a constant temperature)
before bedtime can ease the transition into a deeper, more restful
sleep. This may be due to a temperature shift since the body's core
internal thermostat drops after leaving the water, which signals the
body that it's time to sleep. Or, the sleep improvement may also be
related to hot water's relaxing properties -- the buoyancy of water
reduces body weight by approximately 90%, relieving pressure on joints
and muscles creating the sensation of weightlessness. The hot, swirling
water leaves you feeling both mentally and emotionally relaxed.
An added benefit of a hot tub-induced sleep is that
it's a natural remedy, unlike alternative sleeping aids such as
prescription drugs, over-the-counter remedies and alcohol -- all
of which can make you feel groggy and have other adverse side effects,"
said Cunningham.
In an effort to promote the use of hot water as
an aid in obtaining a better night's sleep, Hot
Spring Spas, the worlds number one selling brand of portable
spas, has formed a partnership with the
National Sleep Foundation. • back
