These saunas use infrared heating systems which not only help with energy saving, and money as a result, but they can also offer a far superior sauna experience with better moderated temperatures and better heat output. The combination saunas allow you to switch between infrared heating and traditional heating methods, which offer your customers an array of health benefits. Let’s take a look at the common health benefits of a sauna which you can offer your clients.
Increased Circulation
When you step into the sauna and the heat begins to warm up your body, your heart will begin to beat faster. The result of this is that your blood vessels will then widen and your blood will be able to move around your body far more easily. Increased circulation can help greatly with muscle soreness and joint movement and it can greatly help people who suffer with arthritis.
Reduced Risk of Cardiovascular Disease
Regular use of a sauna has been proven to greatly reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. A recent study in Finland monitored men over a duration of 20 years to judge how their body reacted to using a sauna every week. The information which came from this study was that the men who spent tie in the sauna once per week had a 30% reduction in their risk of heart disease. The reasons for this is that saunas have a similar affect on the body that exercise does, which helps with heart health and cell repair.
Weight Loss
Simply sitting in the sauna will not help you to lose weight but combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise the sauna can greatly increase your chances of losing weight. When you are in the sauna your body’s metabolism is greatly sped up which means that you can burn calories at great speed, just 20 minutes in the sauna will burn around 500 calories.
Clearing Toxins
Sweating is not only what our body does to maintain our core temperature, it is also the body’s way of flushing out toxins from the body. Elements such as zinc, lead and copper are stored deep underneath the skin and when we sweat we can push these out of the body through our pores.
Stress Relief
The heat of the sauna relaxes muscles and the time that you spend in the sauna can give you a great chance to get away from everything for a while and take time to relax. Th more that we relax the better equipped we are to deal with stress and a session in the sauna each week can leave us fighting fit to combat anything stressful.
