While these are all great reasons to add a hot tub to your backyard setting, there is mounting evidence of a plethora of **health-related reasons** to heavily consider a hot tub purchase in your near future. As the population is [living longer](https://www.nia.nih.gov/research/publication/global-health-and-aging/living-longer) than ever before, yet remaining active throughout their retirement years, extensive research is being done on alternative ways to help us feel more youthful, and help our bodies rebound from physical activity, and just the general aging process.  What has been found regarding water therapy is fairly astounding, and the extent of the health benefits of a hot tub continue to amaze me.   *(Like what you're reading?

[Promotes relaxation](https://blog.countryleisuremfg.com/hot-tub-mindfulness-melt-away-stress) which may lead to improved sleep patterns While not all of these benefits may occur for everyone or even at a dramatic rate , the science is increasingly proving that warm water immersion has countless health benefits and those who consistently soak in a hot tub generally just ‘feel better’ all around.   On the flip side, there is now increasing use of ‘cold water therapy’—generally associated with sports medicine and therapy for athletes, cryotherapy is now becoming a more well-known concept, and the hot tub industry is now working towards allowing you to have a form of cold water therapy in your own backyard.   Some hot tub manufacturers are now offering hot tub chillers, allowing you to cool your hot tub water to 60 degrees, which allows for owners to experience benefits of both hot and cold water…and also, allows you to enjoy your hot tub year round, instead of looking at it longingly throughout the hot summer months!   [![20 Factors to Consider When Shopping for Hot Tubs](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/3465170/9b7a1f65-b5a1-41d8-9738-eb0dd22cab74.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/3465170/9b7a1f65-b5a1-41d8-9738-eb0dd22cab74) Previous [How Only 20 Minutes of Hot Tub Mindfulness Can Melt Away Your Stress](https://blog.countryleisuremfg.com/hot-tub-mindfulness-melt-away-stress) Next [What Is an Above Ground Pool Worth?](https://blog.countryleisuremfg.com/what-is-an-above-ground-pool-worth) ### Subscribe Here! ### Latest Posts [![Country Leisure](https://blog.countryleisuremfg.com/hubfs/Country%20Leisure%20Manufacturing%20July2017/images/download.png "Country Leisure")](https://www.countryleisuremfg.com/) - ![CalderaSpas_DealerInGoodStanding_512](https://blog.countryleisuremfg.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CalderaSpas_DealerInGoodStanding_512.png?width=300&height=300&name=CalderaSpas_DealerInGoodStanding_512.png) - ![Gold_Members-Gold_Member](https://blog.countryleisuremfg.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Gold_Members-Gold_Member.png?width=300&name=Gold_Members-Gold_Member.png) - ![Wilbar](https://blog.countryleisuremfg.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Wilbar.jpg?width=160&name=Wilbar.jpg) - ![trendium-77692098](https://blog.countryleisuremfg.com/hs-fs/hubfs/trendium-77692098.jpg?width=300&name=trendium-77692098.jpg) - ![Vogue-trendium](https://blog.countryleisuremfg.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Vogue-trendium.jpg?width=149&name=Vogue-trendium.jpg) - ![FreeflowSpas_DealerInGoodStanding_512](https://blog.countryleisuremfg.com/hs-fs/hubfs/FreeflowSpas_DealerInGoodStanding_512.png?width=300&height=300&name=FreeflowSpas_DealerInGoodStanding_512.png) - ![cornelius-logo2-1](https://blog.countryleisuremfg.com/hs-fs/hubfs/cornelius-logo2-1.jpg?width=250&name=cornelius-logo2-1.jpg) - ![May CL (1)](https://blog.countryleisuremfg.com/hs-fs/hubfs/May%20%20CL%20%20(1).png?width=263&name=May%20%20CL%20%20(1).png)   ### **HOURS *Mon - Sat*** 9 am to 6 pm ***Sun*** Closed ### [***Pre-Approval***](https://www.countryleisuremfg.com/preapproval) **/         **[**Contact**](https://www.countryleisuremfg.com/contact) ### Country Leisure Manufacturing | 3001 N.
