For the more than 16 million people who have diabetes, help is just as close as the nearest hot tub. A study by a Colorado researcher published in the New England Journal of Medicine brings the benefits of a hot tubs therapy to the surface and brings new light to the rewards of hot tubs. According to this study, soaking in a hot tub can be beneficial for people who are affected with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
With this type of diabetes, people often can control their condition with regular exercise and a good diet. Unfortunately, many diabetics are physically unable to endure rigorous activity and maintain a steady weight. These people have nowhere else to turn besides hot tubs. In a recent study conducted by Dr. Philip Hooper at the McKee Medical Center in Colorado, eight people with Type 2 Diabetes were placed in hot tubs for 30 minutes a day, for three consecutive weeks. The results indicated that these patients reported a 13% reduction in blood sugar levels, improved sleep and an increase in their overall sense of well being.
If you or someone you know is affected by diabetes, relaxing in a hot tub spa might bring much needed relief. Hot tubs are the ultimate way to relax, unwind and relieve tension through a relaxing, hottub Hydrotherapy massage.
