Is daily use of a jacuzzi (hot tub) at all a hazard to one's health?!


Question: As in about twenty minutes a day, can it be harmful?


Answers: As in about twenty minutes a day, can it be harmful?

No, actually the steam opens up your pores and the heat makes you sweat. Sweat is a natural way to get all the gunk out of your pores and such. As long as you don't use a ton of chlorine and make sure your hot tub is always clean, it's not a bad idea to do it often.

NAHH I DONT THINK SO.

noooo. i dont think so
can it??

talk to your doctor

Not 20 minutes a day.... But if you stay in there any longer than 45 minutes a day then that could start to make your skin rough and dry...

Im not really sure but I do remember hearing something about hot tubs being a breeding ground for germs, so I would guess 20 minutes a day, everyday, wouldnt be good.

Those things are 'germ cesspools', unless you change the water all the time.

It can irritate you skin.

it might actually help you i was sick i spent thrity minutes in a sauna and i felt better

No. Especially if you get down with someone hot.

sterilization.

unless your pregnant, i dont think so

No I don't think that twenty min. a day can harm you, but for a male it can cause a low sperm count.

No, unless you are staying in for longer than 20 minutes at a time. That can lead to dehydration and in extreme cases kidney damage etc. Also, if you are a man, studies have shown that hot tub use significantly decreases your fertility, but this has also been shown to be reversible (just stop using the hot tube and you will be back to normal after ~ 3 months).

everyday? yes.
4 times a week, ehh.
there is so many chemicals in there
to keep it warm and germ-free.
i dont know much about it though.

Everything has some neg about it. There is more good from a jacuzzi than any possible bad. Stress relief and blood circulation by itself would give it a green light.

We use our hottub every morning, and have for years. Clean it regularly, use your chemicals and drain it when you need to

I think daily use of a CLEAN hot tub is fine. Any amount of use in an unclean hot tub just increases your chances of getting Hot Tub Folliculitis, so if you're going in daily, the better your chances on *one* of thoes days that the bacteria has reached a toxic level.

If it's your hut tub, make sure you are following proper care guidelines, and checking the chemical levels. If it is someone else's hot tub, ask them about their maintenance and cleaning schedule.

No...must be stimulating 7 refreshing...wish I had one!
