Does it seem like your immunity reaches an all-time low around the holidays? Out of nowhere, those cold and flu symptoms sneak up and interrupt all the plans you made to enjoy delicious food, cozy fires, lights on the tree, decorations, presents and time with the ones you love.
There are plenty of reasons why we tend to get sick around the holiday — we’re eating more sweets, we’re dehydrated, our sleep schedules change, we’re spending more time indoors and we’re also shopping more (touching and having more contact with germs).
When it comes to combating symptoms of a cold, your hot tub can help you recover faster so you can get back to enjoying all the best things that the holidays have to offer!
1) Steam Congestion Away
The steam coming from your spa may help clear nasal passages while encouraging additional relaxation. Your spa seats perfectly position your body to take advantage of the benefits of the steam from your hot tub. Sitting with water up to your neck can let the steam easily reach your nose and begin clearing nasal passages.
2) Relieve Body Aches
Cold and flu symptoms can leave us feeling tired and sluggish throughout the day. Grab a large bottle of your favorite sports drink with electrolytes and head out to the hot tub for a quick 20-minute soak. The contoured seats of your hot tub from Dream Maker Spas cradle your body as soothing jets target stress-holding muscle groups. During your massage, the natural buoyancy of water can relieve joint pressure while warm water relaxes the body even more.
3) Sleep Better
Because there is no cure for the common cold, the best plan of action is resting and regaining strength to kick it to the curb. Just a few minutes of mindfulness and relaxation in your hot tub right before going to bed can help improve sleep quality. A 10-20 minute session in the spa right before curling up in bed can help you fall asleep more easily with less tossing and turning throughout the night. Better sleep can help you recover quicker and get back to your normal self.
Get back to enjoying the holiday season this year with a little help from your hot tub!
