No matter how much junk food you remove from your diet or how carefully you plan out your meals, weight loss can suddenly get ground to a halt. Even the most devoted dieters and exercise enthusiasts have weight loss plateaus.
If you’re trying to lose weight but aren’t seeing results despite eating healthily and frequently exercising for months, there may be something else you can do.
Regular infrared sauna sessions have been demonstrated to help people break through weight loss plateaus, burn extra calories, and maintain their fitness levels.
An infrared sauna is a kind of sauna where the heat is produced by light. Infrared saunas don’t heat the air around you, in contrast to traditional saunas that produce steam through steam generators or by pouring water over hot rocks.
Instead, they warm your body from the inside out using invisible infrared light, which is a naturally occurring element of the light spectrum. Because infrared saunas function at lower temperatures than conventional saunas, you can sweat for longer and more intensely while feeling more comfortable.
A lot of people find using an infrared sauna to be a more calming and enjoyable experience than a traditional sauna.
Infrared saunas are heated to 120 to 140 degrees as opposed to a regular sauna’s 200 degrees. While traditional saunas manage to heat up your body, infrared light can go deeper and raise your core temperature to potentially allow your whole body to heat up thoroughly and at an increased rate.
Following a sauna session, heart rates may remain raised for as long as 30 minutes, comparable to the effects of moderate-intensity cardio-like running.
Impurities and heavy metals tend to build in fat cells, and they can prevent the body from discarding the fat naturally. Using an infrared sauna can help with weight loss by potentially making you sweat out the heavy metals.[1]
It makes sense that the skin, the largest organ of the body, would be the ideal spot to quickly eliminate heavy metals through perspiration. Blood flow increases with a higher heart rate, pushing blood to the extremities and capillaries.
These targeted boosts assist your body in quickly getting rid of the heavy metals that are effectively trapping fat cells inside your body, thanks to the sweating process.
Binghamton University in New York’s two-phase sauna weight loss study found that a rise in core body temperature is linked to a reduction in body fat. It came to the conclusion that over a four-month period, those who utilized an infrared sauna three times a week for 30 minutes each session lost an average of 4 percent body fat. That equals a seven-pound weight loss for a man who weighs 175 pounds.[2]
While it’s true that sweating causes you to lose water weight, and its toxin-release properties are beneficial, it is not the sole reason why infrared saunas are great at assisting with weight loss.
During the infrared sauna session, you will also have to be properly hydrated, so the perspiration-related weight loss is going to be quite minimal.
Fat loss is a process that occurs once your body needs additional energy for support due to physical activity. Meaning, the workout-like properties of an infrared sauna, paired with a healthy diet are what really burn the fat away.
The desire to achieve your ideal weight and to feel and look your best is completely natural. Excess weight can be a sign of potentially dangerous health issues. Unfortunately, many weight-loss strategies have negative health effects and sometimes don’t work.
However, it is safe and beneficial to use infrared sauna therapy as well as an efficient method of weight loss. It’s worth noting that hydration is paramount, and all personal health-related issues should be taken into account before starting a session.
You can discuss it with a personal medical professional and further discuss it with personnel at Restore Hyper Wellness.
Refrain from using hazardous diet pills, limit high-impact exercise, and feel free to add a little flexibility when it comes to your eating habits. Exercise in moderation will still be crucial, and eating nutrient-rich meals to support your health is imperative.
Adding infrared sauna therapy to the mix can provide you with the desired outcome in a less stressful manner when it comes to weight loss.
