….Come on now, get your mind out of the gutter!!
We are talking about water, either in a cool refreshing pool or a warm relaxing hot tub! Our theory on this whole being wet thing is actually a proven fact! Water is even being prescribed as a form of therapy all over the world… or should I say hydrotherapy!
Hydrotherapy-the use of water as a form of pain relief and treating illness (go ahead Google it…clearly I did!)
I could go on and on about the benefits, techniques, history and the different forms of hydrotherapy, but I will let you do your own research. No matter what water you prefer, cold or warm, you will find benefits you didn’t know existed that can actually change how you feel on a daily basis.
It amazes me how enjoying a soak in the hot tub can relieve stress and tension, help you sleep, relax your body and loosen your muscles which overall can help you enjoy your life more! A soak in the evening can help the mind settle, create a romantic retreat, and it is a peaceful way to wind down for the evening.
On the other hand, a nice cool refreshing dip in the pool can give an amazing workout that utilizes so many parts of the body without the weight of your body tiring your joints! Swimming can also be a form of relaxation by allowing yourself to float and your mind to wonder and it can be wonderful family recreation all while building endurance and strength.
Both of those appetizing options are a wonderful way to escape reality and spend quality time with your loved ones, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. I recently heard a poll on the radio that stated a large percentage of people spend more time on their computers or smart phones in the evenings than talking to their significant other, (maybe they are texting each other from opposite rooms?). Water can help your family connect in a different way, not around the TV!
Think about how water can change your life…because life is BETTER when you’re WET!
