Hot Tub Therapy for Improved Health –

AGP Company swim spa

Using a hot tub or swim spa a few times a week relieves pain, relaxes sore muscles and now according to research, improves health of those suffering with Type 2 Diabetes. Studies confirm sitting in the hot tub can actually lower blood sugar and promote weight loss. Because the temperature of the water is high and sustained, blood flow to skeletal muscles increases and core body temperature rises.

Heated water from a hot tub increases blood circulation which allows for more efficient delivery of insulin. The body responds in much the same way during exercise, which is why a dip in the hot tub can simulate the benefits of exercise. Plus, as a preventive measure, relaxing in a hot tub reduces stress- a well-known risk factor contributing to Diabetes.
