If you’ve ever tried to lose weight, you know how challenging it can be.
Even though it sounds simple, just eat healthier and work out, often it is not that easy.
For this method to work, you have to invest a lot of your free time in buying healthy groceries, preparing low-calorie meals, and spending your evenings in a gym at least 3 times per week.
While this is the healthiest way of losing weight, you may want to add something to your daily routine to help you speed up the process.
Have you ever heard of cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy is an ancient practice made for the modern age.
It is becoming more popular by the day, thanks to Hollywood celebrities, professional athletes, and even motivational speakers and businessmen like Tony Robbins, who recognize its benefits. Tony himself said he loves cryotherapy. He even has his own unit at home to do cryotherapy 3 times per week!
Cryotherapy refers to exposing your body to extremely cold temperatures (as low as -200 degrees Fahrenheit) to revive your body and tap into your full potential. Cryotherapy sessions last between 2 to 3 minutes maximum, which you spend standing in a special cryo chamber, if you opt for whole body cryotherapy.
If you have ever used ice packs to reduce swelling or promote pain relief, you have already experienced some of the benefits of cold therapy.
The science behind it is quite simple.
When you expose your body to extremely cold temperatures, your metabolism gets a boost. Your brain sends signals to your body to rush blood to your vital organs and core in order to protect it from freezing.
This circulation increase helps your body burn more calories, from 500 to even 800 calories, the same amount you intake from eating one Big Mac and Medium Fries. On the other hand, to burn 800 calories, you can choose to climb hills with more than 40 pounds of gear or try kickboxing for more than 45 minutes.
Cold temperatures may help the body to break down fat cells faster. These broken-down fat cells are then flushed out of the body through the lymphatic system.
One study shows that cryotherapy may help reduce abdominal obesity in menopausal women, without changing their diet.
There are two types of cryotherapy: Whole Body Cryotherapy and Local Cryotherapy.
Whole Body Cryotherapy is famous for its whole-body cryotherapy chamber. The experience may seem unusual at first, in fact lots of our clients say they felt like they had entered a sci-fi movie. The chamber is sleek and white, and emits the iconic white fog..
You’ll wear gloves, long socks, and slippers to protect your extremities from the cold. Once inside, the chamber will fill with cold air. The temperature can range from -166 to -220 degrees Fahrenheit, so it’s important to breathe normally and relax.
If you are claustrophobic, we’ve got your back. Our chambers have a window that can roll down to allow you to communicate freely with our staff and feel a little less enclosed. A trained Restore employee is always there to answer your questions, talk to you, or even change the music in the cryo chamber. Yes. You can even pick your favorite song to listen to during your sessions!
The session usually lasts for two to three minutes, during which time you’ll likely feel your skin tingling and your skin temperature dropping. However, you should never feel pain or burning. After the session, you’ll step out of the chamber feeling refreshed and invigorated.
Local Cryotherapy maximizes the power of cold to zero in on areas that need the most support, whether it’s your knees, elbows, or a sprained ankle. Local Cryotherapy may promote healing and boost athletic recovery.
Keep in mind that studies have shown that to get the best results, more than one Cryotherapy session is needed.
While losing weight may be your number one reason to try cryotherapy, there are additional benefits too..
Cryotherapy may also help you:
This is why cryotherapy is one of the most popular wellness treatments, because in just 3 minutes you may check more than one goal off your wellness list.
Even though there are many more pros than cons, there are some things you have to keep in mind when choosing cryotherapy.
The extreme cold can cause frostbite or skin irritation.
Therefore, cryotherapy should only be performed while wearing the proper protective gear and under the supervision of a trained professional.
Don’t be afraid to ask questions about the cryotherapy chamber or the gear you’ll need to wear.
Choose only the best for yourself to maximize the benefits of cryotherapy.
Cryotherapy itself isn’t the magical treatment that will help you lose weight in one session, but it is a powerful tool to boost your body’s fat-burning power.
