Weight Loss and Infrared Sauna

Our body eliminates toxins through the feces, urine, perspiration and respiration. The liver, kidneys and lungs become damaged by constant exposure to environmental toxins. Our bodies become severely overloaded because of the inability to release the toxins. When we exceed the limit that we can excrete, our bodies begin to store these toxins.

Studies show that most of us carry between 400 and 800 chemical residues stored in the fat cells of our bodies. The bioaccumulation of these chemicals and heavy metals seriously compromises our physiological and psychological health leading to chronic disease.

There are several methods available to cleanse the liver and kidneys. Unfortunately we are still left with the heavy metals stored in connective tissue and the brain and toxins stored in fat cells. Heavy metals will stay in your body and can be passed on to the next generation.

For healthy weight loss it is imperative that toxins stored in fatty tissue are removed. Health practitioners worldwide recognize that perspiration is perhaps the most effective method of removing chemical and heavy metal toxins from the body.

Because Far Infrared heat penetrates the body up to two inches, it stimulates the fat cells to release these toxins through perspiration. The Far Infrared heat generated by the Ohio Infrared Sauna makes this the detoxification method of choice. Healthy patients as well as diagnosed chronically ill patients can use this method to reduce their toxic overload and achieve healthy weight loss.

Perspiration comes from sweat glands which are small organs located in the skin. With certain stimuli such as exercise, (especially strenuous exercise), hot weather, nervousness, anxiety or stress, they will secrete sweat which in turn helps with thermal regulation.
The skin temperature will increase rapidly and it will begin to sweat at 98.6°F or 37°C. Perspiration will increase rapidly as a part of the physiological regulation of body temperature, with increasing skin temperature. During 24 hours, a man of average weight can excrete approximately 18 ounces of water, 300 grains of solid matter, and 400 grains of carbonic acid gas which is a tremendous cleansing.

When you relax in an Ohio Infrared Sauna for 30 minutes creates approximately the same amount of perspiration as a 2-3 mile run or 30 minutes of rowing. Healthy weight loss occurs because body fat becomes water-soluble at 110°F or 43ºC, dissolves and enters the bloodstream to be removed from the body. In a far infrared sauna, fat is also removed through perspiration.

Chemical toxicity often is associated with the inability to lose weight. As these toxins are removed from the body while using the far infrared sauna, healthy weight loss naturally follows. A lot of people who have attempted weight loss through dieting and have not been successful will be pleased with their results from using a far infrared sauna. Far infrared saunas are a very effective, healthy and safe weight loss program.

Feel those extra pounds melt away. As you bask in the comforts of your Ohio Infrared Sauna, your body is actually hard at work attempting to maintain a constant core temperature. Your body does this by increasing peripheral blood flow and by sweating. As the body works to cool itself, there is a substantial increase in heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate. Blood flow during whole-body hyperthermia is reported to rise from a normal 5 to 7 quarts per minute to as much as 13 quarts per minute. 

Our infrared sauna can also help rid your body of cellulite which is a gel like substance made up of fat cells, water and wastes. That ugly stuff that is trapped in pockets underneath the skin. Usually only women seem to be afflicted with it. An infrared sauna may help with this condition by generating profuse sweating, which helps clear the area of unwanted toxins. Some authorities in the field of weight loss and body fat feel that the less body fat we have, the smaller our fat cells and the less pressure is exerted on the connective tissue. What does that mean to you and your cellulite? It means that the cellulite is less visible. This may or may not be true, however; exercise definitely improves blood circulation in the skin and using the infrared sauna after your exercise program will just speed up the elimination of toxins, burn calories and reach twice the depth of heat penetration into cellulite. In addition to using the infrared sauna, there are a few more things that will help in the eradication of those ugly dimpling, orange peel or cottage cheese looking afflictions like strenuous exercise, healthy diet, massage and 8 to 10 glasses of water a day.

In the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association as long ago as August 1981: "Many of us who run do so to place a demand on our cardiovascular system, not to build big leg muscles.  Regular use of an Ohio Infrared Sauna imparts a similar stress on the cardiovascular system, and its regular use may be as effective, a means of cardiovascular conditioning and burning of calories, as regular exercise."
