5 Reasons Kids Shouldn't Be Allowed in Cruise Ship Hot Tubs

图片
1. Small Children Can't Regulate Their Body Temperature "I am a long-time cruiser," writes  Ilene Karp , "with over 40 years of cruising and, until recently, kids in hot tubs were not an issue. It has, however, become way out of control. I have seen parents put infants in the hot tubs and I said to one that all she needed were some carrots and potatoes because she was literally cooking her child from the inside." Vivid yet disturbing imagery aside, it is true that young children can become easily dehydrated in hot water. According to the Association of Pool & Spa Professionals (APSP), "Children who are big enough to be in a hot tub should not use it for more than five minutes at a time, especially at the maximum temperature of 104 degrees. Infants and toddlers should not be permitted in a hot tub at all as babies' thin skin makes them more susceptible to overheating." And even then APSP advises, "All persons, and especially young childr...

Hopping in the hot tub can be a great way to bring the family together and relax at the end of the day, but if you have little ones, safety is always a concern. To ensure child safety, I've put together some great tips and reminders. Supervise Children at All Times An accident can happen in seconds. If your child is using the hot tub make sure that you are constantly and closely supervising them. Regardless of your child’s swimming skill level, there are many other factors that could lead to an accident. KidsHealth.org recommends staying close enough to your child to provide what they call “touch supervision” meaning keeping your child at an arms length while hot tubbing. Turn Down the Heat According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission children should not enter hot tubs over 95F and should be in the tub no longer than 5-10 minutes. It is also not recommended that children under 5 years of age use the hot tub. Before your child gets in the tub, check the tempera...

Hot Tub Help You Recover Faster To Flight The Cold

A  hot tub  is typically used for relaxation. And, relaxation has some tremendous benefits, especially after you step out of your hot tub . Why not use your hot tub to help your body fight the flu or a cold ? 1.  Use a Salve Under your Nose . A small dab of mentholated salve (good ole Vicks) under your nose will open up breathing passages and help soothe the irritated skin at the base of the nose. Menthol, eucalyptus and camphor all have mild numbing agents that help relieve the pain of a nose rubbed raw. Put a fresh dab under your nose when you get into the hot tub for maximum effect. 2.  Blow Your Nose Often and the Right Way.  Experts say its important to blow your nose regularly when you have a cold rather than snuffling mucus back into your head. The heat from the hot tub will make your nose run which is a good thing. Keep a towel handy to dry your hands before you reach for a tissue. Be careful how you blow. Blowing too hard can cause an earac...

Why Do Divers Go Hot Tubbing After a Dive?

图片
After Olympic divers blow your mind by beautifully twisting and turning through a three-story fall, they usually crawl out of the pool and head for the hot tub . They’re not just fraternizing with their fellow Olympians, and they’re not trying to go back in time to before they biffed the dive. (What? You know that movie wasn’t nearly as bad as you were expecting.) The real (and simple) reason is that those diving pools are not particularly warm, and to offset all of the body heat in the room, the building can be pretty chilly too. In order to keep their muscles loose and limber, divers use the hot tub or stand under a warm shower for a minute. And, just like those of us who aren’t elite athletes, hot tubs help them relax. Can’t say we blame them for needing to de-stress.

Hot Tub and Sauna Use and High Blood Pressure

图片
Hot tubs and saunas pose no risk to healthy people as long as they are not misused. People with high blood pressure should tolerate saunas well as long as they are not experiencing a  hypertensive crisis . Heat from hot tubs and saunas cause blood vessels to open up (called vasodilation.) Vasodilation also happens during normal activities like a brisk walk. If your doctor has told you to avoid moderate exercise, you should also be careful when considering hot tubs and saunas. People with high blood pressure should not move back and forth between cold water and hot tubs or saunas. This could cause an increase in blood pressure. Drinking alcohol and using a sauna isn't a good combination either, so don't mix the two.
