Why do you immediately feel good when you get into a hot tub? For a
start, you instantly lose 90% of your body weight, reducing the load on
your heart by 10-20%. And, because the temperature is sustained at
around 38C, the feeling of well-being that you experience is accompanied
by changes in your circulatory system that have a beneficial effect on
many aspects of your body. When this is combined with the therapeutic
effect of the spa's massage jets, which further relax the muscles, and
promote healing, the result is sheer bliss!
What happens to your body in the hot tub? The body's first reaction to
being immersed in hot water is to try to get back to its normal
temperature by working the heart harder to pump the blood to the surface
where it hopes to be cooled. This causes a temporary increase in blood
pressure. Of course, because the water is hot the blood is warmed not
cooled. The result is that the core body temperature rises and, after a
short while, the warm blood causes the blood vessels to dilate which
lessens the resistance to blood flow and reduces blood pressure. The
body begins to perspire, expelling toxins and the muscles relax,
relieving aches and pains.
