Improved Insulin Sensitivity

zA study from 2019 suggests that regular thermal therapy using hot baths or saunas may improve glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity in a population with marked insulin resistance. This could mean that using a hot tub may be beneficial for managing diabetes.

Calorie Burn

While nothing can replace all the benefits of exercise, passive heat from hot tubs or saunas may produce some benefits, such as improved cardiorespiratory fitness, vascular function, and metabolism.[/

Muscle Relaxation

The hot water and massaging action of the hot tub jets can effectively relax and soothe tight, tense muscles helping to ease aches and pains.

Stress Relief

The soothing effect of the warm water and massaging action may help relieve physical, emotional, and mental stress.

Improved Sleep

According to research, the simple relaxation gained from a soak in the hot tub may be enough to help you drift off into a more peaceful sleep. Hydrotherapy — heated water and massage — similar to the experience of being in a hot tub may also increase the levels of hormones like histamine and serotonin that help you sleep.

Pain Relief

Soaking in a hot tub may relieve some types of pain by relaxing tense muscles, joints, and tendons. If you have arthritis, the heat and massaging action of a hot tub may help ease the stiffness and inflammation that cause pain.
