Take a moment to imagine yourself slipping into a soothing hot tub right now. Chances are you’re reading this post from your desktop, laptop or iPad: none of those devices should be anywhere near a hot tub! A hot tub soak is for a moment of going “off the grid.” But here you are chained to your computer wishing you could be in a hot tub. Sorry, to plant that image in your mind but maybe it will just inspire you into action. This is meant for all those folks who have an old, broken down hot tub in their backyards and want inspiration to get rid of that eyesore. Consider the benefits of a hot tub.

The three basic components of a hot tub soak are heat, buoyancy and massage. Any one of those elements would be a benefit but when you combine all three at once you’re getting a powerful therapeutic punch. On the average 1 in 3 Americans suffer from some level of arthritis. A hot tub provides relaxation for the muscle joints and sooths pain especially after a hard day of stressful writing.

Another common ailment is insomnia which can impact around 75% of Americans at one point in their lives. The conventional wisdom is that a 15 minute soak in a 103 degree tub before going to bed will provide the kind of substantive relaxation that increases the chances of easily drifting off the sleep. That’s a lot better than popping a pill which will have you feeling groggy all the next morning.

Among the most startling benefits of consistent hot tub use is the positive effect is has on people suffering from Type 2 Diabetes. According to a recent report, patients who soaked for a soothing 30 minutes per day were shown to have a 13% decrease in blood sugar levels. That translated into improved sleep and a greater sense of overall well-being. Hot tub use has also been shown to reduce blood pressure, headaches and accelerates the general healing process. How can you not live with a hot tub?
