INFRARED SAUNA
Saunas using infrared technology stimulates sweat glands using the same type of heat as the sun without the ultraviolet rays we know to be harmful. This in turn aids in the removal of toxins through perspiration.
Instead of heating the air, infrared saunas use radiant heat to penetrate the body.
Experience elimination of heavy metals including lead, mercury, and nickel. Rids your body of all the holiday alcohol & nicotine! Toxins can cause fatigue, pains, a variety of skin conditions, and a change in mood if they are not removed from the body.
Increased circulation aids in the clearance of waste products like lactic acid from the body while also delivering oxygen-rich blood to muscles, resulting in speedier muscular recovery for the busy gym body or athlete.
A single infrared sauna session can burn between 400 and 600 calories!
TOP 8 BENEFITS OF INFRARED SAUNAS
1. RELIEVES STRESS AND TENSION
The reason most people feel better after a sauna session is because heat exposure elevates serotonin levels.
2. IMPROVES RECOVERY AND CIRCULATION
The heat from an infrared sauna causes your blood vessels to dilate, thus increasing blood flow and improving circulation.
3. OFFERS TEMPORARY PAIN RELIEF
Applying heat to muscle or joint pain after intense workouts, because increasing the flow of oxygenated blood to the affected area will temporarily relieve pain.
4. BURNS CALORIES (WEIGHT LOSS)
As a result of the increased heart rate, your body also increases its metabolic rate, thus burning more energy in the form of calories.
5. INCREASES RESISTANCE TO ILLNESS
An infrared sauna increases your core body temperature, tricking your immune system into thinking that you’re running a low-grade fever — a condition called hyperthermia. As a result, your immune system triggers the release of white blood cells, lymphocytes, neutrophils and interferons– all part of the body’s antiviral army.
6. HELPS TO GET RID OF TOXINS
Besides helping regulate your core temperature, sweating is one the body’s preferred methods for getting rid of toxins. That’s why sauna use is an excellent way to naturally detox your body. By sweating profusely, you flush out toxins such as heavy metals.
7. HELPS LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE
A study conducted by researchers at the University of Missouri, using an infrared sauna 3 x per week for 30 minutes each session lowered the systolic and diastolic blood pressure of participants.
The mechanism behind that is relatively simple: sauna use dilated blood vessels, thus lowering blood pressure.
8. IMPROVES SKIN HEALTH
There's scientific evidence that red and near infrared light has a positive impact on skin renewal, cell health and tissue growth.
Specifically, wavelengths of exactly 633 nm and 830 nm can easily penetrate the skin, where fibroblast cells absorb the light to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin — two components that can help improve skin health and make you look younger.
