Tag: Hot tub safety

Many hot tub enthusiasts wonder if eating before a soak is a good idea. Fact: Your body’s blood circulation shifts to your digestive system after a meal and to your skin for cooling in a hot tub, creating a conflict that makes eating before the hot tub a less-than-ideal choice.

According to wellness experts, the average person can sweat out over a liter of fluid during a 20 to 30-minute hot tub session, sometimes without even realizing it. This significant fluid loss makes proper rehydration a critical step, not just for comfort, but to prevent symptoms like headaches and dizziness.

Did you know that the timing of your meals can impact your hot tub experience? Understanding how your body handles digestion and heat regulation is key to determining whether to eat before or after a hot tub session.
