Flush Out Years of Toxins And Grime From Your Body |
The steam sauna also cleanses your skin. The sweat opens your pores, thus
flushing out unhealthy toxins and grime.
Steam bathing provides a cardiovascular workout without stress or strain on
your joints. You heart rate will speed up 50-75% in a 20-minute steam bath.
This goes a long way to speeding up your metabolism, thus helping you burn
fat. It is about the same as going for a long walk. Some people are under the
conception that steam baths raise your blood pressure. While this is true, it
also expands your blood vessels to compensate.
In many ways the steam bath acts as a giant fever machine. While this may
sound like pretty much the worst thing ever. When you think about it, it actually
makes sense. You are sick, it is the virus that makes you feel bad. The fever is
your body¡¯s way to kill that virus. So, even if you are not feeling sick, getting
into a sauna is like a pre-emptive strike against any viruses in your body. (see

Lose Weight: Outstanding Consumption of Calories!
It is found that producing one gram of sweat requires 0.568 kcal. The Journal
of American Medical Association states; "A moderately conditioned person
can easily sweat off 500 grams in a sauna, consuming nearly 300 kcal, which
is equivalent to running 2 ~ 3 miles. A heat-conditioned person can easily
sweat off 600 ~ 800 kcal with no adverse effects. While the weight of the water
loss can be regained by drinking water, the calories consumed will not be."
Since an Infrared Sauna helps generate two or three times the sweat
produced in a hot-air sauna, the implications for increased caloric
consumption are quite impressive. Assuming "a sauna", as mentioned in
JAMA, to last for 30 minutes, some interesting comparisons might be drawn.
Two of the highest calorie-consuming forms of exercises are rowing and
marathon running. Peak output on a rowing machine or during a marathon
run burns about 600 calories in 30 minutes. An Infrared Sauna may enhance
this effect from "just slightly" up to as much as 250%, by burning about 900 ~
2,400 calories in a 30 minute session.
Understanding the Infra-red Sauna
Known as infra-red saunas, the infra-red radiant heating mechanism acts as a
heat-generating source that produces heat at a lower, more comfortable
temperature. This is one advantage infra-red saunas offer beyond traditional
or other hot rock saunas. You also have the option of combining them for
example in outdoor applications! So it does not have to be an either/or
situation if you hear/see anything here you particularly like. YOU DO NOT
HAVE TO COMPROMISE! The infra-red sauna products, kits and application
expertise at your fingertips, can provide you with lots of creative ideas for your
customized need and specific requirements ¨C they are highly versatile, robust,
good for you and effective, easy to use, affording luxury, comfort and
increased wellbeing.
