The Health Benefits of Infrared Saunas

Everyone strives to be healthy and happy. Infrared Saunas can help you achieve this goal with the many health benefits they offer. They can lower your blood pressure, aid in weight loss, and extend your life. Mainstream media is finally giving infrared saunas the attention they deserve, according to Dr. Mehmet Oz on The Oprah Winfrey Show.

The following are some unique health benefits that infrared saunas provide users:

Lower Blood Pressure
Infrared saunas are different from normal saunas in that they make the same rays that come from the sun without the UV radiation, leaving only the infrared rays. These rays are then lightly absorbed into the skin. Dr. Oz mentions the reason heating the body is important is that it is shown that people who take saunas a couple of times per week actually drop their blood pressure. The infrared sauna environment in which they are lowering their blood pressure is a more comfortable temperature than sitting in a heated traditional sauna environment. These saunas excel due to the fact that they do not hurt your lungs if you take a deep breath.

Detoxification
We spoke about the benefits infrared saunas have on detoxification in our Sauna FAQ. The main thing we want to stress is to wash your skin once you exit the sauna to get the toxins off your skin and refresh your system.

Weight Loss
We also mentioned the benefits of weight loss that come from using an infrared sauna in our Sauna FAQ. Since it increases blood circulation, makes your heart beat faster and gets you to burn more calories. Hats off to burning calories!

Extend Your Life
A major benefit is helping to extend your life. Medical researchers have long been reporting on the health benefits of infrared sauna therapy. It helps support those who suffer from fibromyalgia, arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, and even autism. The circulatory and blood pressure lowering benefits are a major plus! Another benefit that helps to extend your life, and the overall quality of your life, is the fact that saunas aid in relaxation. With all the stress being experienced and the fast pace of life, saunas help you take a moment and fully relax. The heat also helps bring that relaxation to a heightened stage of completion.

In 2011, if you want to help your health and quality of life, visit your sauna for relaxation, weight loss, detoxify, and lowered blood pressure. Visit www.SaunasAndStuff.com to see the many different types of saunas and infrared sauna kits we offer.

Buying a Sauna to Help with New Years Resolutions

Each New Year we examine our lives to figure out the things we want to change and write a list to start overhauling everything right after that ball drops and we fight off any pending hangovers. Have you ever thought that buying a sauna might help you achieve some of those goals?

Weight Loss with Saunas
Saunas can be amazing partners to help you achieve your weight loss goals. One sauna session can help you burn more than 600 calories, which is equivalent to 30 minutes of rowing at the gym or an hour on the treadmill. The heat from the infrared sauna penetrates below the skin to break down the fat and water particles in your skin, helping to burn calories and accelerate weight loss. It is a great alternative to physical exercise for those who are unable to exert themselves.

Expel Toxins with Saunas
At most spas, you will find hot tubs and saunas as a fixture. Besides relaxation, these devices help expel toxins from your skin. When toxins are present in our body, blood circulation is blocked and cellular energy is impaired. The body’s immune system is inhibited due to toxins, making it difficult to fight disease. When infrared sauna heat is applied, the large water molecules in our bodies that contain toxic gases like sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, lead, mercury and chlorine vibrate are broken down. The encapsulated toxic materials and gases are then released, expelling these toxins. Some experts in weight loss believe our bodies use fat to dilute toxins. Since infrared saunas excel at helping rid your body of toxins, you are burning fat that is being used to dilute toxins in the process.

Saunas Help Relieve Pain from New Years Work Outs
Many people in the New Year head to the gym to work out, lose weight and feel great. By day three, their bodies are sore and in need of heating pads…or saunas. Infrared Saunas are the answer to your prayers. Heat has been shown to reduce pain sensation by direct action on both free-nerve endings in tissues and on peripheral nerves. Many athletes sit in the sauna or hot tub to relieve sore muscles and alleviate pain.

So if you are now beginning to conquer your New Year Resolutions, plan to buy a sauna or hot tub. Buying an infrared sauna or hot rock sauna just might help you get closer to your goals than you ever thought. Add purchasing a sauna from SaunasAndStuff.com to the top of your list.
