Health Benefits of Improved Circulation

What are the health benefits of improved circulation? According to the site LIVESTRONG.COM "Blood circulation is an important part of your body's overall function and health. Your heart pumps blood through blood vessels within your circulatory system. Red blood cells have specific tasks of carrying oxygen to your body's vital organs, providing vitality and energy, explains the National Library of Medicine. When your vital organs and circulatory system work in unison, you have an adequate blood flow. An increase in blood flow or circulation in the body can help benefit the heart and the body's muscles and arteries throughout the body. Increased blood circulation improves oxygen rich blood flow to extremities. You may experience an increase in blood flow to vital organs when you improve oxygen levels in your blood by exercising muscles and working out. Working out your muscles and increasing your aerobic activity can help with blood circulation. Having an increase in blood flow and circulation to areas of your body helps promote cell growth and organ function. Your skin also benefits from an increase in blood circulation. Healthy skin is better able to fight off bacteria and infection that it may come in contact with. When your heart pumps at full force, your heart rate lowers, heart muscles relax and your blood pressure flows evenly and smoothly. Having increased blood circulation throughout your body will help you look and feel healthy. Your skin will have a healthy color and you will feel warm to the touch. Good blood circulation helps improve brain function and helps keep your mind sharp and focused. You will also be more equipped to handle stressful situations.[READ SOURCE ARTICLE]
Our last article covered the health benefits of using a hot tub, however as you see, they share similar benefits to exercise.  With a hot tub, however, there are even more benefits to consider than just exercise alone.  First off, there is the proven benefit of stress relief.

Why Stress Relief is Important

Stress has been repeatedly linked to serious health conditions such as hypertension, heart disease and a long list of other health problems.  While it is all but impossible to completely eliminate stress from your life, it is a good idea to minimize it when possible.  One way, which also ties into a post-workout regimen is to use a hot tub.

After a workout, your body will need several things.  It will need rest.  It will need water.  And it will need time in a tub to improve circulation.  So as you see, hot tubs can help after a workout.
