Everyone wants to have some me time and soak in the bathtub for a few minutes to relieve the stress of a long day. A good dip rehydrates the skin, unlocks the pores and releases good hormones that make someone feel better. It also helps people relax, perhaps find their centre and rejuvenate themselves.
Many people think that a good walk in bath would cost them a fortune to install and maintain. However, with several models available in the market right now, you can have one that’s perfect for your budget and would suit your needs. The health benefits of using such a bath would generally outweigh its expense.
Here are the top benefits of using a walk-in bath.
Safety
A traditional bath means you have to step over a barrier, and there’s always a chance of you slipping and hurting yourself. But with a walk-in bath, you would only need to step inside the door, close it behind you and wait for the water to fill. Once you’re finished, you can pull the drain and wait for a few moments to step away from the bath, refreshed and relaxed once more.
Improved cardiovascular health
If you take a hot bath, you will have glowing and supple skin afterwards. Moreover, you will have regulated your blood pressure and increased your heart rate. A better heart rate leads to better blood circulation, which leads to lower chances of stiff arteries and increased vessel dilation.
Stress relief
Nothing feels better than swirling, massaging hot water to end the day. People who wish to feel good can enjoy such a treat easily and relieve their stress which is great for their mental well-being.
Muscle relaxation
Whenever you feel a flare-up of your arthritis or experience joint pain, a trip to the bath would do wonders for you. With baths offering massage jets, you can use them to target specific body points that need massaging. Soaking for at least 20 minutes will alleviate body aches quickly.
Better circulation
A hot bath would open capillaries near the skin for better circulation. This leads to better blood supply coming through various points of your body, making them feel much better and relieving pain. The improved blood oxygenation helps to increase metabolism and digestive patterns, too.
Better sleep patterns
While taking a sleeping pill might make you drowsy faster, there will always be a drawback to your body. However, if you take a bath before your bedtime, not only will you get to enjoy relaxed muscles and softer skin, you will also increase good hormones, which relax you and make you have a better quality sleep.
Lowered blood sugar levels
People who have type 2 diabetes may feel better after a warm bath. A good soak in the tub will help reduce blood sugar levels by at least 10 per cent and help burn calories and increase blood flow.
Takeaway
A walk-in bath will help relax and relieve stress easily. The safety and comfort it provides generally outweigh its cost.
