Increase Metabolism, Burn Calories

and Lose Weight

Many people have been in a sauna before, but they actually have no clue on what they are actually sitting in or how they are getting warm. All they know is that they are sitting in a big box that is extremely hot. If this sounds like you, you are definitely not alone. Most people do not care to know about the sauna that they are sitting in. But if you want further information on saunas, or are thinking about getting one, you will want to consider the option of an infrared sauna. This is a relatively advanced technique of making the sauna experience more enjoyable.

In an infra red sauna, you will be getting your heat from infrared ray radiation. The more conventional saunas that you are probably used to, use heated steam, where as an infrared sauna heater does not work this way. Instead an infrared sauna is a wooden box that uses infrared heaters. So in all actuality, the box creates the sauna, where as the heaters actually create the sauna effect.

In an infrared sauna system, infrared light is used to heat the skin directly, as opposed to more traditional setups where the air is warmed first. Manufacturers of infrared sauna kit state that the type of heat that the occupants receive is very similar to that of the sun.

But at the same time, it is said that infrared heat is much safer than the rays from the sun. Extensive testing has been done on this, and time and time again it has been shown that a portable infrared sauna is a safe way for anybody to enjoy the atmosphere that is offered.

As you relax in the gentle infrared heat, your body is actually hard at work producing sweat, pumping blood, and burning calories. As your body increases sweat production to cool itself, your heart will work harder to pump blood at a greater rate to boost circulation. This increase in your metabolism will burn calories.

According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, "Many of us who run do so to place a demand on our cardiovascular system, not to build big leg muscles. Regular use of a 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."

Spas around the world are using Infrared Saunas more and more to help eliminate cellulite. Since the infrared radiant heat of the sauna warms three times as deep as conventional saunas, it is significantly more effective at reducing cellulite.
