Health Benefits of a Hot Tub The warm, relaxing water of the hot tub is truly enjoyable, but now there’s one more reason to sit in the bubbly water: Using a hot tub at least a few times a week for twenty minutes can significantly reduce symptoms of Type 2 diabetes and may even lower risk factors associated with diabetes. Heat not only warms and relaxes the muscles, but also raises internal body temperature.

Elevated temperature causes the body to use more energy cooling itself which mimics light cardiovascular exercise. For folks who have difficulty exercising, using a hot tub may be the perfect solution for enhancing a weight loss and fitness program. For those with Type 2 diabetes, regular use of a hot tub may lower blood sugar levels as increased blood flow helps the body use insulin more effectively.
