Cold and flu season is here. And now that everyone is back out and about, everyone is coming down with everything. While you’re enjoying your Jacuzzi® hot tub this fall and winter, you can also improve your health. You can help combat a cold with a Jacuzzi.
Spike a Fever
Your body fights infections like a cold by spiking a fever. Just like you don’t like feeling the heat of a fever, viruses don’t either. Fevers indicate your immune system is fighting the virus, but they also make the virus uncomfortable.
By spending time in a hot tub while you are battling a cold, you can spike a false fever in your body. Basically, your body temperature rises while you’re relaxing in the warm water. So if you’re just in the beginning stages of a cold where you haven’t naturally spiked a fever yet, you can trick the cold by making it think you’re running a fever.
Sleep Better
When you’re sick, all you want to do is sleep. But no matter how much you want to sleep, often you just can’t do it. Maybe it’s because you can’t breathe through your nose, or you’re coughing and sneezing too much—whatever it may be. There is just nothing more irritating than wanting to sleep when you’re sick and not being able to.
Hot tubs naturally help you sleep better. Taking some time to relax helps calm your brain and body to get you ready for sleep. Plus, the transition from hot to cold also preps your body for sleep. Your body temperature naturally cools as nighttime approaches, so the transition from a hot tub to the cool air mimics that sensation, telling your body it’s time for bed.
Relieve Aches and Pains
Colds are often accompanied by full body aches and pains. And there is just nothing you can do to relieve that pain sometimes, even with painkillers. Add that onto any existing joint or muscle pain you have, and it can just become unbearable.
But, hot tubs can help relieve those pains, even the ones that don’t seem to go away. The hot water helps increase the circulation in your body, easing those aches and pains. Plus, the Jacuzzi jets will give your muscles and joints a calming massage. Once you get out of the hot tub, your joints and muscles will feel better than they have in awhile. And, the body aches from your cold should go away, at least for a little bit.
