For centuries people have enjoyed the benefits of bathing. Besides the relaxation a soak in the bath can offer, there are healthy benefits that not everyone is aware of.
Reclining in a hot bathtub with Epsom salts can improve heart and circulatory health, reducing irregular heartbeats, preventing hardening of the arteries, reducing blood clots and lowering blood pressure.
The process of perspiration removes toxins from the body. You may even notice that a regular bath routine reduces perspiration odor so you have less of a need for deodorants to control body odor. The heat of the water also kills many strains of bacteria and viruses decreasing the number of colds and infections you may get throughout the year.
Increased circulation of the lymph system required for the sweating process helps to clear the system of toxins and create a free-flowing system to remove toxins, bacteria and viruses from the body. The lymph system is the system responsible for stimulating immune response. Hot baths help increase lymph drainage and improve health.
Increased blood circulation improves all bodily systems by increasing the rate of nourishing blood cells to damaged tissue. In addition, dead cells are removed from the body more quickly, increasing the ability to stay health and energetic.
As a person grows older simple tasks like taking a bath can become extremely tedious due to weak muscles and injuries. An senior individual may find it very difficult to lower him or herself into a bath tub and then get up again once they are finished because it takes quite a lot of strength in the upper arm to lift the entire body weight up and out of the tub. Enormous effort may be required to find a way to provide even the simplest and most basic of needs. Senior citizens, the elderly, disabled individuals and their caretakers may find themselves overwhelmed even when simply trying to enjoy one of the most fundamental rites of personal care: bathing.
The choices usually are between installing a walk-in bathtub (which is pricey and might lower a home’s value since younger people don’t want that kind of tub) or sponge baths. Many people are not aware of the bath lift.
Bath Lifts are devices which have been designed specifically for the purpose of allowing seniors and the disabled to bathe independently by providing a platform which can be raised and lowered into the bath tub through a mechanism that is powered by a waterproof sealed rechargeable battery. Bathing aids for disabled people are quickly gaining popularity because of the comfort and independence they can provide.
There are many bath lifts on the market and the choices can be overwhelming. When considering the health benefits of a hot bath, the reclining ability of the bath lifts is quite important. The Bathmaster Sonaris bath lifts is innovative in its completely user controlled reclining feature. Comparable bath lifts available today automatically recline to a specific angle. Bathmaster Sonaris Reclining bath lifts is the only lift on the market today that has a reclining feature that the user controls. Once the bath lifts has completed its descent, the reclining level is adjusted using the triplesealed waterproof hand controller. The user can select any angle of recline up to 40° to achieve the most comfortable and safe position.
Reclining in a hot bath also relieves stress. Excess adrenaline and stress are believed to drain magnesium, a natural stress reliever, from the body. Magnesium is necessary for the body to bind adequate amounts of serotonin, a mood-elevating chemical within the brain that creates a feeling of well being and relaxation. The elderly, disabled individuals, or those recovering from surgery or injury surely would benefit from a safe, healthy way to relax. The new Bathmaster Sonaris sets the standard for safe independent bathing for senior citizens, and elderly or disabled individuals.
