There are so many ways to benefit from your hot tub this holiday season. From relaxing to celebrating, a hot tub will be there to help! Let us paint you a picture.
Family time – Everyone is home for the holidays and you couldn’t be more excited to sit down and talk to your kids, grandkids, siblings or parents and just catch up and have some laughs. You can surely all sit around the TV in the living room with your phones in your hand OR you can unplug and head out to the hot tub for disconnected conversation.
Relaxation– You just spent 3 hours at the mall finishing up shopping for your family’s Christmas presents just to get home and spend another hour wrapping them. After finishing up, head to your hot tub to relax your mind and muscles and prepare for a great night sleep.
Christmas Eve– The kids are all winding down from their exciting day of playing in the snow or running around with the cousins. They are all on a Christmas cookies sugar high and they can’t stop talking about their excitement for Santa Claus to come. Take the kids out to the hot tub and watch the night sky and gaze into the stars watching for Santa before bed. The warm water will relax them as memories are being made as you create a Christmas Eve tradition of watching for Santa together. 
A Get Away– Aunt Shirley and Uncle George have been staying at your house for 4 long days now and you need a get away. Head to your hot tub for your own personal oasis. Relax as you listen to the bubbling water, warm your body up as the air around you is freezing cold and clear your mind.
Snowfall– Close your eyes and picture the snow falling around you as you sit in your spa. Those huge snowflakes are falling, the ones that look like you’re in a snow globe that was just shaken up. As you’re sitting in warm water the cold flakes are falling right on your head, this is a moment like no other!
Celebration– You are having a few friends over to celebrate New Year’s Eve. The ball just dropped in Time Square at 11PM CT, you have just enough time to head out to the hot tub for an unplugged soak full of laughter with your buddies before it strikes midnight in the Midwest. Hello 2020!

Most people know hydration is important to health. While there isn’t much science supporting the “8 glasses a day” adage, we know water is essential to our well-being. The human body is 50% to 75% water. It’s true what they say: Water is life!
Dehydration happens when the body loses more fluids than it takes in. That can impact your body as well as your mind and make you feel tired, stressed or weak. What are the symptoms of dehydration? Generally, if you feel thirsty, you’re dehydrated. Other symptoms of mild dehydration include light-headedness, headache or fatigue. Mild dehydration can progress to moderate or even severe dehydration, which can cause rapid heartbeat, fever, listlessness and fainting.
Beyond water, what does dehydration have to do with hot tubs? A lot! Hot tub users can become dehydrated more easily. Make sure you’re well hydrated before entering your hot tub. You may also want to add a Covana Cover, that will protect you from the hot sun.
There’s no denying the health benefits of a hot tub. But simple steps can help you monitor your fluid intake and ensure proper hydration while you enjoy your spa. Check out these five easy tips for staying hydrated in your Hot Spring hot tub!
- Buy a reusable water bottle and take it everywhere! Having water at the ready removes roadblocks to staying hydrated. It’s also a good visual reminder to take a sip.
- Mom was right. Eat your veggies! And your fruits. While water is the easiest way to keep hydrated, fruits and vegetables are a great source of H20, as well. Most fruits and veggies are high water content foods that contribute to your body’s overall hydration. To see what Vegetables have the highest water content, click here!
- Want to make sure you’re staying hydrated? Check the color of your urine. Pale urine indicates that you’re meeting your body’s fluid needs. Dark, yellow urine means you need to drink more water.
- Infuse your water! Slice a few lemons, strawberries or cucumbers and toss them into your reusable water bottle. The fruits will enhance the flavor and appearance of your water and make every sip taste great. Add an antioxidant boost of rosemary or peppermint with your favorite fruits. Get creative – the possibilities are endless! Be sure to keep spa-safe glassware and thirst-quenching refreshments near your spa.
- Drink a warm cup of herbal tea before bed every night. The tea will relax you, provide health benefits and boost your daily hydration totals.
It’s important to follow all guidelines for your spa. Don’t set the temperature too high, which can further put you at risk for dehydration. For those who enjoy a cool dip during the day and a warm soak at night, Hot Spring offers the CoolZone System. Happy hydrating everyone!
