Hot tub spas have three very important qualities that make them therapeutic. These are the heat of the water, the buoyancy of the water and the massage you get from the Jets on the hot tub. Not only is the experience a pleasurable one, but it can also help you relax and de-stress from your daily life.


Being massaged by the warm water jets, stimulates the body to release chemicals in the brain called endorphins. These endorphins are your body's natural painkillers.

Health Benefits Of Honey

I remember as a kid, whenever I would get a sore throat, the first thing my mother would do would be to boil up some water and throw in a little lemon juice and a heaping tablespoon of honey. I didn't ask her why, but I do know that 9 out of 10 times after I'd finish that yummy mixture, my sore throat was gone. Later on in life, as I started to study the health benefits of many foods, I discovered just what it was in the mixture that got rid of my sore throat.


Honey is probably one of natures most wonderful foods. Naturally, this also depends on the quality of the honey itself. Not all honeys are alike so you really have to do your due diligence when buying honey.
