Top 5 Reasons You Should Get a Hot Tub This Christmas
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is quickly approaching, and what better way to distract yourself from the perils of our world than to prioritize self-care this Christmas? If you’d like to replenish your mind, body, and soul – why not ask for a brand-new hot tub this Christmas? Our elves can put in a good word for you with Mr. Clause!
There’s ample proof for why hot tubs are selling like hotcakes. Read on for five reasons to ask for a hot tub this Christmas.
1. PHYSICAL HEALTH BENEFITS
There are so many health benefits to owning a hot tub that we need a list within a list here.
- Muscle relaxation: hot water and massaging jets can soothe tight and tense muscles.
- Pain relief: ease your aches and pains and reduce stiffness and inflammation in joints and tendons.
- Boost cardio health: relaxing in a hot tub can boost your heart rate and lower your blood pressure. Don’t feel like exercising? Soak in a hot tub! (Just kidding).
- Burn calories: Break a sweat in a hot tub and burn some calories!
- Improve sleep hygiene: Relaxing in a hot tub can help you sleep more peacefully. Amp up the relaxation effects with hydrotherapy for more of an impact on your sleep!
2. mental health benefits
Soaking in a hot tub can help relieve your mental stressors. Late for a meeting? Stuck in traffic? Fighting with your spouse? All these situations trigger stress hormones that can wreak havoc on your health, especially if your stress levels stay elevated for longer than necessary. Physical manifestations like headaches, heartburn, insomnia, weakened immune function, and more can result from stress.
Boost stress-relieving effects by combining your hot tub soak with a glass of wine (or favourite beverage), soft music, low lighting, or aromatherapy (or all the above!). We are partial to Mineraluxe Fragrance Crystals, available in four elemental experience scents.
Spending time in a hot tub also gives you a much-deserved break from the outside world and pulls you away from the people and screens demanding your attention. Just sit back and reflect, think deep thoughts, and breathe! Just don’t fall asleep; that would be dangerous.
3. year-round use
Unlike a pool, you can use a hot tub year-round! Whether on a cool summer night or a cold and blustery winter day, your tub is there for you when you need to sit back, soak, and relax. A hot tub is the perfect addition to your backyard oasis and makes an ideal private retreat. When there’s no time for a proper getaway, you can enjoy a mini escape in your backyard!
4. save water, time, and money
Relaxing in a hot tub conserves the water you might use in a bathtub soak or hot shower, and it saves money when you think about utility bills.
Hydropool’s self-cleaning hot tubs are so efficient in their filtration and automatic dosing system that you’ll save time and money on maintenance and energy. Hydropool’s self-cleaning system filters 100% of the water every 15 minutes!
5. quality time with family & friends
A hot tub creates a warm and inviting gathering space for your friends and family. What’s more, everyone needs to put down their phones and screens to use them! An alcoholic beverage or two doesn’t hurt to keep the conversation flowing but be careful and exercise caution when imbibing since hot tubs can amplify the effects of alcohol. Both can raise body temperature and make you dehydrated.
