It’s Getting hot in here!

Sauna is efficacious in reducing cardiovascular risk and aiding with your weight loss program.

Nothing replaces exercise but did you know that infrared sauna is a cardiovascular mimetic (it mimics exercise!) so you can get the same effects of a cardio workout while you relax! A session in the sauna can boost your base metabolic rate, increase your heart rate, and shrink fat cells! With this cardiovascular “workout”, sauna provides a natural way to help lower blood pressure and increase blood circulation. People who use the sauna 2-3 times per week are 22% less likely to experience sudden cardiac death and 4-7 times per week are 63% less likely to experience sudden cardiac death.

Speed up your recovery with a session in the sauna.

Sauna helps to deliver increased levels of oxygen to muscle cells, which accelerates muscle recovery and relieves pain. Regular use of sauna will help you maintain muscle mass. Maintaining muscle mass is crucial for strength and mobility, as well as boosting metabolism, reducing risk of injury, and improving bone density.

Regular sauna use helps you age better.

As we age, we all will deal with the loss of skeletal muscle and strength (Sarcopenia) but sauna can aid in slowing down muscle loss. Sauna also reduces the risk of cognitive decline and the development of Alzheimer’s or other types of dementia.

The list goes on!

There are numerous health benefits with regular use of infrared sauna! Take a moment to review the health benefit list provided or stop in the office to discuss how integrating sauna into your wellness routine will benefit you.

Why heat stress is good stress!

Heat shock proteins help struggling cells get back into shape through hormesis (our body’s response to heat stress). Activating our heat shock proteins helps the body in many ways, including increasing strength, immunity, and resilience. It creates a hyperthermic effect to reduce inflammation and aids in fighting diseases, viruses, and infections.
