Hot Tubs for Diabetes
More than 23 million men, women, and children suffer from diabetes. Proper diet and exercise are necessary to manage sugar levels, but for those that want an extra push, try hot tub therapy.
It’s proven that 30 minutes a day in a hot tub can benefit those afflicted with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. In situations where someone one can’t exercise or manage their weight effectively or in a situation where someone wants to take that extra step, a hot tub is one method for increasing circulation and even decreasing blood sugar.
In fact, in a study conducted at the McKee Medical Center in Colorado found that patients reported a 13% reduction in blood sugar levels, saw improved quality of sleep, and reported an increase in their overall sense of well being when they spent 30 minutes in a hot tub every day.
HotSpring Spas of Music City does not recommend hot tubs to anyone with diabetes unless they’ve received specific instructions from their doctor. Before you sit in a hot tub, confirm that it is good for your health.
