The Benefits Of Saunas
Saunas may improve circulation and cardiovascular health, relieve pain and inflammation, boost energy and bodily defenses, maintain the appearance of skin health, and upgrade your quality of sleep, according to a study by the Mayo Clinic.
Manage Weight & Athletic Recovery
The International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health found that using Infrared Saunas can improve metabolism by acting like an exercise mimetic and increasing glucose homeostasis. That means that Infrared Saunas can provide similar cardiovascular benefits as exercise, such as improving heart health and reducing the risk of high blood pressure. Infrared Sauna use may also increase aerobic endurance when paired with an exercise routine, improve recovery and heart rate variability, and potentially increase overall metabolic rate.
Heavy Metal Detox
"No person is without some level of toxic metals in their bodies," the Journal of Environmental and Public Health states in a study about Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead, and Mercury found in sweat. The study notes that using a sauna and exercising should be used as therapy, stating, "Sweating deserves consideration for toxic element detoxification."
How Does An Infrared Sauna Work?
Infrared Saunas heat the body directly using infrared light waves, rather than warming the surrounding air like traditional saunas. This allows Infrared Saunas to raise core body temperature more effectively at lower temperatures. Infrared Saunas typically operate between 110°F and 140°F, whereas traditional saunas range from 150°F to 190°F. Traditional saunas heat the air, which then warms the body’s surface, while Infrared Saunas penetrate deeper into tissues, promoting perspiration and potential health benefits at more comfortable temperatures.
Relax, Sweat & Get Healthier
Spending 30 to 45 minutes in an Infrared Sauna can be a relaxing and restful experience where you can devote time to unwind from your day and disconnect from technology.
