Improve Your Immune System with a Hot Tub

As winter carries on with her cold, crisp business, the rest of us are out here fighting germs left and right. The name of the game when it’s cold and flu season is immune support. And besides eating well and exercising, did you know that your Wellis® USA hot tub can play a big supporting role for your immune system?

How a Hot Tub Improves Your Immune System

It’s true. Your hot tub is good for your health, and it’s yet another tool in your arsenal against cold and flu season. So, let’s take a look together at a few of the ways that you can give your immune system a helping hand with a hot tub from Wellis USA. 

1. Less Stress Means a Healthier Immune System

Surprisingly, one of the most taxing things for your immune system is not germs but stress. If your body is in a constant state of stress, that can cause excess inflammation, and inflammation is often an immune response. Your body feels like something is wrong, so it tries to fix it. 

That’s where your hot tub comes in with a helping hand for your immune system. It is well documented that a daily soak in your Wellis Spa can measurably decrease stress. Decrease your stress, and your immune system can likewise calm down. That means it’ll be ready and well prepared for the next real threat that it comes up against. 

2. A Wellis Hot Tub Soak Means Better Sleep

Another excellent way to help out your immune system is by prioritizing sleep in both quantity and quality. Sleep is the time your body uses to make repairs and take care of your body, so it makes sense that if you’re not getting enough sleep, your body will suffer. And when your body’s not in great shape from lack of sleep, your immune system has to work even harder when it comes up against a threat. 

Where does your hot tub from Wellis come in? It can help you get that much-needed sleep time in and improve the quality of your sleep. 

A strategically planned soak in your Wellis Spa about an hour before bed can get your mind and body in the right space for deeper, more effective sleep. That can be the extra help your immune system needs this season to keep your body well. 

3. Increased Circulation Means a Stronger Immune System

And finally, your Wellis Spa can also help boost your immune system with increased circulation. There are a ton of health benefits that can come from healthy blood flow, and a session in your hot tub can help to boost circulation. 

The increase in temperature can slightly increase the volume and capacity of your blood vessels, which is a good thing for your blood oxygen levels. The more oxygen that’s able to reach every part of your body means that your body can repair and address issues with all the resources it needs. 

If you’re feeling a little under the weather, the increased circulation can also help get needed white blood cells from your immune system to their destination if there’s a possible infection developing, although you should exercise caution when soaking if you’re actively sick. Pay close attention to how you’re feeling and consult your doctor with any concerns or questions.
