The Infrared Sauna - Lose Weight - Burn More Calories
Benjamin Wise
In the event that you use saunas regularly then you may have heard of the infrared sauna. This new technology uses infrared heaters as its heat source as compared to wood stoves or electric heaters which are used by traditional saunas. Infrared heaters heat the occupants whereas the traditional saunas heat the air.
Instead of heating the air itself, infrared saunas heat the objects and people in their proximity. However, the ambient air stays about the same temperature. This means that infrared saunas consume much less energy and are more efficient than conventional saunas are.
The air itself is not heated to the same extent that a conventional sauna is, so you can use an infrared heater no matter where you are. You can even use them outside. However, an infrared sauna will still have the same type of heating effect on your body.
With that said infrared saunas still use enclosures. The reason for this is simple, people like the feel of a traditional sauna, and due to habit - when it comes to saunas we feel the need to get into one rather than sit outside. However you do not have to have an enclosure if you chose not to.
The infrared heaters use a light frequency which one cannot see. This technology is also called infrared radiation and is abbreviated as IR. This radiation is not the same as atomic radiation or ultraviolet radiation which is responsible for causing sunburn when out in the hot sun.
You might not know that you're already very familiar with infrared radiation, as this is how the earth is heated; in this case, the infrared radiation warming the earth comes from the sun. Even your body exudes infrared radiation. Enthusiasts of infrared saunas say that these types of saunas can give you even more benefits over a conventional sauna.
Infrared saunas do just as well as conventional saunas at causing sweating necessary to excrete toxins. They also help ease arthritis pain just as effectively. Besides that, infrared radiation supposedly has unique healing properties not present within traditional saunas.
Proponents of the infrared sauna state that infrared radiation can penetrate further into the body, right to the muscles tissues and internal organs. This enhances your bodies ability to release impurities and therefore bolsters your immune system. This way you lose weight by burning calories and along with this you also have the added benefit of improving your skin tone.
