Better Insulin Sensitivity
People who suffer from increased blood glucose levels and those with type 1 or type 2 diabetes can also benefit from regular hot tub sessions. The water temperature in the hot tub is higher than normal, which plays a significant part in how the body changes insulin use. When those with problems with glucose levels use a hot tub regularly and immerse themselves up to their shoulders, there’s a significant chance that they would record weight loss, lower mean fasting plasma glucose, and decreased HbA1cs or glycated hemoglobin levels. Less ambulatory patients can benefit greatly from this practice.
Using the hot tub decreases insulin resistance, improving overall well-being. It must be noted, however, that hot tub sessions must be closely monitored because too much time in the water could make the heart beat faster, which is disadvantageous to people with diabetes. Too much time in the water can also cause cardiovascular dilation, which leads to insulin absorption and low blood sugar levels.
