Recent studies have proven that the regular use of hot tubs can aid in the reduction of weight, as well as diminish the appearance of cellulite. Soaking in a hot tub simulates exercise, the hydrotherapy dilates the blood vessels, promoting better circulation as it relaxes the skin and muscles. It also tones the body tissue, reduces fluid retention, and relieves swelling. Additionally, it raises the heart rate, while lowering blood pressure. This seems to indicate that soaking in a hot tub may be healthier for your heart than traditional methods of exercise.
A study of subjects that soaked in a hot tub for 30 minutes a day, 6 days a week, for 3 weeks found that their weight was reduced by an average of 3.75 pounds each. They lost over one pound per week, just by soaking in a hot tub!
Regular use of hot tubs can also help to diminish the appearance of cellulite. The fatty deposits that typically gather on the hips, thighs, and buttocks of most women past their 30s can never be fully eliminated. The design of a woman's body naturally causes the skin to dimple out, whether she is overweight or thin. However, by improving circulation to the areas affected by cellulite, it has been proven that the appearance of the unsightly deposits can be reduced.
