What Causes Poor Circulation in the Body?
Better circulation in our bodies can be achieved by many of things, as well as by a hot tub. At Aqua Palace Spas and Pools, we think it's important to not just make the pain of poor circulation “manageable” but instead fix the issues that are causing the problem! Below, we have shared the top causes for poor circulation:
- Excessive weight puts extra stress and pressure on the blood vessels, sometimes pinching them off.
- High Cholesterol clogs arteries and causes blockages that prevent circulation.
- Sitting for long periods of time does not allow for proper circulation like your body really needs.
- Medical Conditions, many of which cause problems within themselves, without the aid of high cholesterol, being overweight, or other poor habits.
While soaking in the hot water, your heart has to work harder in an attempt to disperse the excess heat and cool the body core temperature. When this happens, the cells of the body dilate which reduces resistance to blood flow and therefore reduces the pressure the heart needs to pump, lowering your blood pressure. This is how a hot tub helps to improve circulation because the dilated blood vessels do not have any restrictions!
The benefits of a Marquis Spa far out weigh that of any of our competition in this department (among others) for sure! We have a unique hydro kinetic therapy system which penetrates much deeper into the heart of your muscles, giving you the full benefit of a massage instead of just the surface of your skin, like most of the other brands of spas on the market today. Soaking in your hot tub is a close simulation to exercise; it gives you a lot of the same benefits of exercise without so much stress on the heart! A hot tub will increase the heart rate while lowering blood pressure. This is just another reason why a Marquis Spa is a great addition to your Omaha metro area home!
