Oregon Hot Tub, Selling Hot Tubs, Swim Spas in Portland OR Celebrates National Heart Awareness Month

Feb. 14, 2013 - PRLog -- “February is National Heart Awareness Month and it’s the perfect time to start thinking about making heart healthy choices for living happy and strong,” said Sue Rogers, president of Oregon Hot Tub.  “In an effort to help local residents keep living healthy, happy and strong lives, here are three proven ways to a healthy heart that are sure to make a difference,” continued Rogers.  Here are three ideas to consider.

Nutrition and a Healthy Body Weight - Eating for a healthy heart may take some practice, but in time, it’s a relatively easy thing to do. Choosing fresh items over processed, eating plenty of fruits, fiber and fish and limiting sodium intake are easy dietary changes that work together to lower risks of heart disease. In addition to the right food choices, portion size is important for maintaining a healthy body weight and controlling cholesterol levels. If weight is an issue, losing a few pounds can reduce cholesterol levels and control blood pressure which makes it easier for the heart to work.

Oral Health - Not many people realize there is a relationship between teeth, gums and the heart. But the American Dental Association confirms oral health is significantly related to serious conditions like heart disease. In fact, gingivitis, cavities, and missing teeth are as significant as cholesterol level for assessing risk. It may not be a connection that many people think of, but periodontal disease and heart disease are linked, whether it’s through clogged arteries or bacteria that are commonly found in an unhealthy mouth. While one may not cause the other, keeping up with oral health to prevent periodontal disease may reduce risks of cardiovascular disease.

Using a Hot Tub for Stress Management - Chronic stress is a serious physical and mental condition that over time can do significant damage to a healthy heart. Some tension and anxiety is normal, but high stress that goes unmanaged can negatively affect blood pressure and cholesterol levels leading to heart disease. High stress often triggers other harmful behaviors like smoking and excessive alcohol use, which are also contributing factors to heart disease. Experts recommend decreasing stress and calming the mind through relaxation techniques.

Using a hot tub on a regular basis is an easy, convenient and effective way to manage stress and can be used any time from the comforts of home. Sitting in the warm, relaxing water for only 20 minutes just a few times a week is the perfect way to manage stress and ease related symptoms in the neck, shoulders and back.

“To encourage local residents to check out the benefits of soaking in a hot tub to help improve their overall health and well-being, Oregon Hot Tub is providing free test soaks at all their showrooms.  We do recommend however that people wanting to schedule their free 30-minute soak call us ahead of time to reserve their spot,” commented Dave Doornink, Oregon Hot Tub’s Marketing Director.
