Spending more time with your family is not something that someone regrets while laying on their deathbed. In fact, most elderly people wish they spent more time with their children while they were growing up. In today’s fast paced society, it isn’t always easy to make the time to spend with your family. Sometimes an outside influence can help create more family time together. A hot tub can be one of those outside influences. In this article we’ll go over the ways that a hot tub can increase quality time spent with your family.
Engage Children
Today’s world offers a lot of stimulation for children. Whether it’s the internet, television, video games, or simply regular things like school and sporting activities, our children’s lives are filled with more things to do than ever before in history. We can all readily admit that it’s not easy to compete for a child’s attention when it comes to video games or chat functions on their smartphones, however, hot tubs do provide a special something that’s appealing to people of all ages – especially children. Relaxing in a hot tub together can quickly become a daily pleasure for everyone in the family. And because water is a terrible place for using electronics, you know you’ll have your kids’ undivided attention while you’re in the hot tub.
Family Exercise
Hot tubs provide an excellent space for exercise – they’re not made solely for relaxing! The warm water provides a welcoming exercise environment while naturally warming up the muscles and reducing the chances of injury. Children’s’ innate playful attitude is encouraged when around water and you will notice an increase in physical activity without even having to encourage it. Water resistance provides a natural replacement for expensive barbell or weight systems for teenaged children. A hot tub also provides a safe, inviting space to teach small children the basics of swimming.
Improve Your Family’s Health
Hot tubs provide a natural immune system boost by increasing blood and lymphatic system circulation. This circulation increases the flow of oxygen rich blood to the heart and other organs, while a stimulated lymphatic system promotes lymph drainage ridding the body of dead cellular material and other impurities. The tub’s warm water can reduce anxiety and stress, soothe muscles and provide relief from cold and flu symptoms. A healthier family will have more time and energy to spend together.
Entertain Friends & Family
The allure of a hot tub is especially strong on friends of the family who don’t have their own easy access to massaging waters. If you want to get to know your kids’ friends better, you won’t have much trouble luring them over if you mention a hot tub party. The relaxation provided by the tub lowers people’s inhibitions allowing you to find out who your children are really hanging out with. A hot tub also provides a suitable conversation environment for friends of the family allowing everyone to get together and relax as a group. There are plenty of hot tub add ons such as sound systems, waterproof games and special lighting which help create a social atmosphere.
