A hot tub offers a lot of ways to relax and comes with many physical benefits for your body, but you can take advantage of the hot tub experience to enjoy mental benefits as well. When you install a new hot tub at your home, you have the opportunity to create a whole routine around the hot tub and establish habits that will keep your mind sharp.
Learn some of the new daily habits you can implement with the hot tub and how they can keep your mind sharp for the long haul. The various benefits don’t come with a lot of extra effort and you can enjoy all of the features of a hot tub at the same time.
1. Natural Light Exposure & Fresh Air
Chances are, you will decide to install the hot tub on the exterior of your home. Built for outdoor experiences, a hot tub provides you access to a lot of fresh air and natural light. Expanding the amount of time you spend outdoors can make a big difference in your mental sharpness.
Multiple studies have shown that extended time in the outdoors and fresh air will help you sleep better at night. The better you sleep, the more energized you feel. A good night’s sleep can eliminate brain fog and keep focused on the days ahead. Enjoy a soak in the hot tub before bed to really get refreshed and help you settle down at night.
2. Reading Opportunities
Reading on a daily basis can keep your mind sharp. You can read a wide range of material from the enjoyment of your hot tub. A hot tub purchase may come with an expanded edge or side table for you to rest reading material on. While you can sit comfortably and avoid getting the reading materials wet, you also have the opportunity to use waterproof e-readers in a hot tub.
A waterproof e-reader will allow you to sit and relax in a hot tub and read for an extended amount of time. You can easily turn pages without the need to worry if your hands are getting wet. The reading opportunities will help you keep your mind focused while the warm water relaxes you.
You could turn reading in a hot tub into a new hobby that allows you to get a lot of reading done. Once you establish a routine, you can find regular ways to read and enjoy the material.
3. Reduce Stress & Anxiety
A reduction in stress and anxiety can help keep your mind focused and ready to complete other tasks like work or hobbies. A session in a hot tub offers multiple ways to reduce stress. Simply sitting in the hot water and relaxing your body can reduce stress. If you have pains and aches, then you can reduce stress through the use of massaging jets.
Use your time in a hot tub to go through meditation sessions. As you relax in the water, you can calm your body down, meditate, and really enjoy the time to let go of any anxiety you have. You also have the opportunity to use hot tub add-ins to reduce your stress.
For example, you can purchase hot tub packages that include essential oils or other add-on products. The scents and oils can improve your mood and work with multiple senses to provide relaxation. When you feel extra stressed out, a routine soaking in the hot tub can help calm yourself and allow your mind to stay focused on other tasks.
4. Boost in Immune System
When you feel sick or congested, you may not feel fully focused on the various tasks at hand. The healthier you are, the more sharp your mind is. When you expose your body to hot water, your body’s natural immune system will kick in. Your body will start to produce more white blood cells, which can help fight off infection and help you feel healthy for longer.
If you do come in contact with a virus, your body will have the extra white blood cells needed to fight off an infection and really help you get through the sick season. If you do get sick, a daily soak in a hot tub can decrease your recovery time and ensure you stay mentally focused as you heal through your illness.
Studies have recommended 20-30 minutes soaks in hot water and many hot tubs come with timers built-in for sessions with massaging jets and other features.
