10 Benefits for incorporating Sauna into your health routine
Sauna dilates blood vessels and brings blood closer to the surface of the skin. As blood vessels expand to accommodate increased blood flow, circulation in the extremities improves.
Incorporating Sauna usage regularly helps speed up the metabolism in a way similar to exercise which will last for hours after you are done. However it is not a “quick-fix” solution to weight loss. Incorporating this regimen into your routine will gradually influence weight loss. Sauna increases your heart rate by about 30%, which requires more energy to burn calories. It is also most beneficial after a workout, as it prolongs the benefits of exercise well after you are done.
The soft heat and humidity soothes and relaxes tired muscles and painful joints. An Infrared sauna will give added benefits from the red light that will further penetrate into muscles and tendons, releasing tension.
The heat from a sauna will create a small “fever” response to the body which will alert white blood cells to be produced and help reduce any swelling and inflammation as well as increase blood flow for faster healing benefits. Sauna activity stimulate release of Beta Endorphins and Norepinephrines which act as the body's natural pain killers, which temporarily raises the body's pain threshold.
Studies have been conducted that show a 30% less chance of getting a cold when Saunas are taken regularly. Saunas have even been shown to help in preventing a cold from getting worse.
As mentioned before, Sauna heat puts the body into an artificial fever state stimulating the body's natural healing processes. This "fake fever" stimulates the immune system resulting in an increased production of disease fighting white blood cells and antibodies.
Sleep plays an enormous role on our health influencing our ability to heal and repair, our hormones especially cortisol regulation, our immune system, and mental health. Sauna put your body into a parasympathetic state, also known as our rest and digest state, which will help you unwind and get a great night’s rest.
Regular use of saunas helps to condition the heart. Researchers have reported that the regular use of Saunas helps maintain the blood vessels. Vessels become elastic and pliable longer due to regular dilation and contraction from the process of heating and cooling the body repeatedly. The heart rate increases in the Sauna creating a demand for more oxygen, which in turn burns calories and provides a mild workout for the heart.
Your skin is the largest organ of the body and 30% of body wastes exit through the skin. It elevates the body’s ability to get rid of toxins and impurities. As your core body temperature rises blood vessels dilate causing increased blood floow. As more blood begins to move towards the skin’s surface the nervous system sends signals to the sweat glands, producing sweat. Sweat is designed to cool the body, and is 99% water. Deep sweating in a sauna can reduce levels of toxins that we are commonly absorbing and exposed to just from interacting with our daily environment. The act of sweating induced by a Sauna opens the body's pores and naturally expels impurities and toxins from the body. Sauna has been used to sweat out toxins to include heavy metals such as lead, copper, nickel, nicotine, and fat-soluble chemicals like PCBs, PBBs, and HCBs.
Sauna bathing can increase proper kidney function. Perspiration through the skin’s pores excretes a good amount of the body's wastes and reduces the load put on the kidneys. Sweating is such an effective detoxifier that some doctors recommend Sauna usage to support those on kidney dialysis.
It provides all the benefits listed above to include stress relief. It gives you a warm and quiet space to relax without any distractions from the outside world. The relaxing heat for your muscles and improved circulation will stimulate endorphins, the body’s all-natural feel good chemicals.“
