Sweat Your Way to Radiant
Health
Excerpted from: Sick and Tired? Robert O. Young , PhD. DSc. 1999 |
"Because of the
level of pollution we are exposed to and its many sources, as well as poor
dietary and exercise habits, the therapeutic value of regular sweating has
become immense. It has benefits for both body and mind and, in fact, is the
primary benefit of exercise.
One of the best
passive exercises is the radiant heat of an infrared sauna which, causes a
profound deep sweat. After about 30 minutes of exposure, the blood vessels of
the skin dilate to allow more blood to flow to the surface to support the
cooling process. The millions of sweat glands covering the body are infused
with fluid from the blood. In turn, they empty to the skin's surface, thereby
flushing large amounts of toxins, including toxic acids and heavy metals, from
the body.
My research over the last two years shows that a radiant heat [infrared] sauna provides the following benefits:
My research over the last two years shows that a radiant heat [infrared] sauna provides the following benefits:
1. Speeds up
metabolic processes of vital organs and glands, including endocrine glands.
2. Inhibits the development of pleomorphic microforms [fungus, yeasts, bacteria and molds] and creates a 'fever reaction' of rising temperature that neutralizes them.
3. Increases the number of leukocytes in the blood.
4. Places demand on the heart to work harder thus, exercising it and also producing a drop in diastolic blood pressure (the low side).
5. Stimulates dilation of peripheral blood vessels thus, relieving pain (including muscle pain) and speeding the healing of sprain, strain, bursitus, arthritis, and peripheral vascular disease symptoms.
6. Promotes relaxation thereby creating a feeling of well-being.
7. For those who are unable to exercise sufficiently, for whatever reason, the radiant heat infrared sauna is an excellent way to get the benefits of exercise without undue stress on the skeleton, muscles, and associated tissues. Such people have an even greater need for exercise and the sauna fills the bill."

In short, Infrared Sauna sessions can help you to sweat out toxins, burn up to 500 calories in 30 minutes, decrease pain & relax your muscles and your body.
Am gonna to try this
ReplyDeleteAmazing process...and so relaxing! Best Christmas Present you could give yourself!
ReplyDeleteI might want to give this a try!! Sounds really relaxing!
ReplyDeleteI have tried this and yes it is very relaxing. My skin felt softer and I noticed that I was not as hungry afterward, just really thirsty. Take the tunes and give it a try.
