Swim Spas Vancouver, WA Dealer Participates in Stress Awareness Month – Posts Stress Health Tips

VANCOUVER, Wash. - April 23, 2013 - PRLog -- Vancouver, WA – 98661 – “With the high powered, high-tech lifestyle of today’s society, getting rid of stress is more difficult than ever,” said Sue Rogers, president of Oregon Hot Tub.  “While there are many ways to relax and relieve stress, a hot tub is an all-round winner when it comes to improving health and getting rid of stress.”  Here are three health tips to help you live a more stress-free life.

Reduced Tension Relieves Disease - Disease causes additional stress on the body, so any way of eliminating pain or illness will also help reduce tension and stress levels that lead to further damage. A hot tub soothes sore muscles and even relieves the pain of arthritis. An Italian study published in the Journal of Investigative Medicine in 1998 shows that soaking in a hot tub regularly, for as little as three weeks, greatly reduced the levels of inflammation and joint deterioration for arthritis sufferers.

Hot tub therapy is also a good way to decrease the affects of diabetes. A 1999 study in the New England Journal of Medicine produced a report from a test run at a McKee Medical Center, in Colorado that showed using a hot tub for just 30 minutes a day for a week reduced blood sugar levels in patients with Type II diabetes. Anytime disease is eliminated or reduced, the increased stress it creates on the internal organs is also decreased.

Better Sleep for Reduced Stress - A lack of sleep caused by the constant bombardment of activity in today’s busy lifestyle leads to greater tension and stress. The vicious circle of sleep deprivation on stress causes an even greater sleep problem because tension and stress aggravate sleep disorders and causes even more sleep problems. Relaxing in a hot tub at the end of the day sets the mood for a good night’s sleep. The warmth of the water relaxes muscles and the gentle massage of the water is peaceful and creates the perfect atmosphere for getting ready to go to bed.

Better Exercise for Better Health - Exercise has long been shown to be a good way to reduce stress. It creates a natural release of endorphins, the body’s “feel good drug.” Hot tub therapy improves the ability to exercise by keeping muscles healthy following a strong workout. Soaking in a hot tub after a workout also increases blood flow to improve the muscle building affects of exercise and also brings oxygen to sore, tired muscles. The warm water and massage of a hot tub stimulates further release of endorphins for an overall feeling of well-being and happiness.

Bringing Balance Back to Daily Life - A busy family often neglects one of the most important areas of mental health and increased stress levels—togetherness. A hot tub is the perfect way to improve the health of every family member, it also brings the whole family together and creates a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy long conversations and rekindle family unity.

“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.
