Hot Tub Origins and Benefits
The earliest spa enthusiasts (Romans, Japanese and Chinese) were able to appreciate the health benefits of using hot water to relax the body and generally promote better health.
With all the benefits hot tubs and saunas offer it is no wonder their popularity is growing so fast and they are becoming more and more affordable as well.
Fortunately gone are the crude tubs of earlier times and now modern spas are made of fiberglass or acrylic.
Hot tubs are perfect for soothing tired and aching muscles; they are especially relaxing after a hard and stressful day at work. Hydrotherapy and low impact exercise improves health while you luxuriate in the ambiance of aroma therapy, premier lighting & sound. Spas excel at improving health, fitness and a relaxed lifestyle.
However, hot tubs can raise body temperature to dangerous levels, especially after a workout, resulting in dehydration, lightheadedness, nausea and extreme weakness; take a few minutes after a workout to bring your heart rate down before entering the hot tub.
They are often factory programmed to maintain a water temperature of approximately 104 deg F and it takes only 10-20 minutes in a hot tub to raise your body temperature to 102 deg F or higher.
