The spa, an ultimate place to completely relax. It is not only soothing for your mind, but also for your body. A visit to the sauna and steam baths, for example, can give a significant boost to your health. For example, it ensures better blood flow and condition of the veins. Relax, relax and rest; often the three reasons to choose a day of wellness. But why are saunas and steam baths even more beneficial to your health?
Relaxation versus stress reduction
“Busy, busy, busy” is a common answer to the question of how things are going. Busyness can be accompanied by stress. A phenomenon that is not fun for anyone. But how can we reduce stress in addition to our busy lives? Wellness facilities offer a solution for this. Heat in saunas, for example, makes it easier to let go of your thoughts, allowing you to relax. In addition, heat also causes the production of the happiness chemical ‘endorphin’ in the brain. Endorphins make you feel happy and you are less sensitive to pain. Not only saunas provide this relaxation, but also the heat from a wonderful spa. Have you ever been to the spa with friends? A wonderful social activity to do together once in a while.
How can the spa improve your resistance?
Research from the Charité university clinic in Berlin shows that a visit to the sauna improves your immune system and stimulates and stabilizes blood circulation. Your body reacts violently to the heat that the sauna provides and then the body reacts violently again to the cold as soon as you get out. This reaction causes the body to produce antibodies. Regularly going to the sauna or heat baths protects you better against colds, but the symptoms do not change if you already have a cold. Would you rather not leave the house and immediately look for relaxation? Turn your garden into a spa in no time. What could be better than diving into your own jacuzzi after work?
Sweet Dreams! Better sleep through wellness
You are probably familiar with this feeling: you lie in bed with your softly glowing skin, feeling rosy, but above all completely zen and satisfied. And with all those endorphins you gain, you will also fall into a better and deeper sleep. And if you sleep better, you are less likely to get sick! In addition, you are less likely to be susceptible to stress when you are well rested. So the circle is complete again!
