Five benefits of owning a hot tub in autumn
Owning a hot tub brings its benefits all year round but owning a hot tub in autumn is especially useful!
As the leaves flutter their way down from the trees this autumn are you still dreaming about that recent summer holiday – remembering the warm sun on your skin, the sound of the waves lapping the shore, the scent of the sea, the sand between your toes, the lazy days & enchanting nights….yep, us too! But never fear! Owning a hot tub in autumn might just keep the post holiday blues at bay thanks to these benefits:
1. Self care
One of the five benefits of owning a hot tub in Autumn is how it helps us with self care – As the summer draws to a close, you may be feeling a little out on a limb with thoughts of winter around the corner. The prospect of darkness when you leave the house, darkness when you return, night after night of battling through traffic on the school run, feeling sluggish and craving carbs…self care should be at the top of your ‘important things to do’ list – and owning a hot tub makes carving out that all important me-time so much easier. Enjoy your hot tub for meditation, gentle stretching and hot tub exercises or add aromatherapy to enhance the experience and make it a treat for all your senses.
2. Enjoy the outdoors
Another one of the five reasons for owning a hot tub in Autumn is that you get to enjoy the months in which we usually grab the remote, hide from the light & indulge in hours of Netflix – why not enjoy those star studded, crisp, winters evening, wiggling your hard worked toes in hot, bubbly water – sipping your favourite tipple, talking about your day to loved ones or gossiping with friends whilst the jets deal with every ache & pain & lull you into an amazing sense of peaceful wellbeing, climbing out wrapped in a super fluffy towel & then falling into a deep, dreamless sleep, ready to face whatever the world of tomorrow may throw at you..
3. Health benefits
Speaking of sleep, a daily dip in your hot tub is not only proven to improve your sleep but also offers many other health benefits and improves both your physical and mental well being. Owning a hot tub offers benefits such as stress relief, muscle tension relief, relief from anxiety and and intrusive thoughts as well as a boost to your immune system which can only be a good thing at this time of the year and definitely makes it onto our list of five biggest benefits of owning a hot tub this autumn.
4. SAD
SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) affects millions of people, usually in winter – the exact cause of SAD is not fully understood, but is often linked to reduced exposure to sunlight during the shorter autumn & winter days. The main theory is that a lack of sunlight might stop a part of the brain working called the hypothalamus from working properly, which may affect the production of melatonin, serotonin and may disrupt your body’s clock.
A daily soak in a hot bubbly tub may actually help relieve some of the symptoms of SAD, making life more enjoyable on those dark, dreary days & nights which definitely makes it a great benefit of owning a hot tub in autumn!
