There’s no better way to beat the cold winds of winter than with a relaxing dip in the hot tub.
That’s right; hot tubs are not just for the more temperate times of the year.
In fact, you can enjoy your spa year-round.
Let’s take a look at the top five benefits of using your spa during the winter season.
1. It Boosts Your Immune System
Winter always brings with it the nasty cold and flu season. Aside from getting a flu shot, eating well and getting enough sleep, did you know there is something you can do right from home to give your immune system a helping hand?
Regular dips in the hot tub have been found to elevate white blood cell production. As the heated water improves your circulation, the level of these tiny healing cells is accelerated. The blood carries them throughout the body, and they go on the attack anywhere germs or toxins are located.
So if you want to decrease your chances of getting a virus this winter, your hot tub can certainly play a role.
2. It Helps Beat Stress
The holiday season can be a stressful time as our schedules get busier.
From shopping to entertaining to attending special events on top of our daily routine, it’s no surprise that many of us find the holiday season draining.
Daily dips in the hot tub are a great way to manage stress levels. The heated water and jet massage soothe tired and tense muscles, helping stress melt away.
As an added bonus, the heat of the water activates feel-good hormones in your body, bringing you a sense of calm and well-being.
3. It Relieves Pain
Winter can be a painful season. Whether you are shoveling snow, trying not to slip and fall on the ice or having to endure tense drives on bad roads, it takes a toll on the body.
Hitting the hot tub each night is one of the best ways to treat sore or injured muscles.
It’s also the ideal way to manage the pain of an arthritis flare-up brought on by the cold damp weather.
The heat of the water not only relaxes muscles but also works to diminish painful inflammation while sending healing blood flow to injured joints.
4. It Offers Warmth On The Cold Winter Days
If you’re into winter sports such as skiing, skating, or hockey, or simply enjoy spending a lot of time outdoors, no matter what the weather, then you’re likely used to being cold.
Your hot tub is the ideal way to thaw out your chilly limbs, frozen toes, and fingers.
The massage from your spa jets will also help you beat any of the muscle soreness you’d normally experience the day after a big hockey game or an afternoon of sledding with the kids.
5. It Enhances Your Social Life
If you find winter parties to be kind of humdrum, then why not add your hot tub into the mix?
Hosting a holiday hot tub party is a great way to take hosting to the next level.
Make sure your guests come equipped with bathing suits, robes, and hats to wear while outside and have lots of clean towels on hand.
Whether you simply relax and chat or add some party games to the mix, your hot tub will definitely take your next party up a notch.
