Your Health
Rarely do health and pleasure come together like
they do in an
spa from Pegasus Spas.
While many may think of hot tubs as a luxury item,
reserved for those that have the means to enjoy the fine life, for
others a spa is an indispensable part of making it through the day.
The scientifically proven benefits associated with regular
therapeutic hot tub use are beyond dispute and even prescribed by
many doctors as a form of treatment for pain, stiffness, arthritis,
diabetes and more. Some of the basic health benefits in spa
ownership are as follows:
Stress Relief
There are physiological as well as psychological
reasons that a spa so successfully relieves stress and helps you
unwind during tense times. Hydrotherapy combined with heat therapy
and the buoyancy of being submerged in water all work together to
allow your body to release tension, stiff muscles to loosen, and
blood to flow more freely. (These physical enhancements bear mental
and emotional fruit as the controlled environment of the spa work
together to produce an environment conducive to general relaxation.)
Arthritic Pain, Fibromyalgia
A trip to the masseuse is sometimes
the only relief that sufferers of chronic arthritis and joint pain
can find. Your spa is literally your own personal mechanical
masseuse, at your beck and call whenever you need it. The added
benefits of heat for better blood flow and buoyancy to relieve the
strain of gravity on your frame make the spa an ideal treatment for
both disorders. A spa is a great way to ease the daily burden of
constant joint pain.
Better Sleep
Heat brings down the body’s internal temperature,
allowing for natural relaxation. Unlike the use of medications and
prescription sleep aids, the circulation and warmth of a spa
encourages the body to unwind and rest on its own, leading to a more
restful sleep. The simple relaxation of a few minutes in a hot tub
can lead to a more rested, productive, and healthy life.
Type 2 Diabetes
A recent study in the New England Journal of
Medicine shows that sufferers of Type 2 Diabetes can benefit from
regular use of a spa. Most diabetics are unable to endure rigorous
activity, and have difficulty with weight and circulation. The study
revealed that sufferers experienced a significant decrease in blood
sugar levels, and improved sleep after spending 30 minutes a day in
a spa. For those who live with the daily discomfort and
inconvenience of diabetes, a spa can be the doorway to a fuller,
more enjoyable life.
