Benefits of Infrared Heat
1. Aids in weight loss
Moving your body around a hot room will make anyone work up a sweat, but infrared heat increases your internal body temperature, so your body has to work harder to cool down. This thermoregulation process causes your heart rate and metabolic rate to increase so you end up burning more calories during the session.
2. Increases blood circulation
A higher body temperature and a quicker heartbeat means that your heart pumps blood faster to your body tissue improving circulation and blood flow. This allows your muscles to recover faster.
3. Relieves pain
With infrared heat, you won’t have to let nagging pains limit your workouts. Infrared heat releases nitric oxide, which improves your circulation, increases your blood flow and repairs your injured tissues by delivering more oxygen and nutrients. This process heals your aching muscles and throbbing joint pain by reducing inflammation and relaxing your muscles.
4. Eliminates toxins
Infrared heat makes us sweat, which helps harmful toxins that reside in our bodies, like heavy metals and environmental pollutants. This release in toxins strengthens our immune systems and digestive systems.
5. Lubricates muscles
Infrared heat loosens your muscles and warms up your body much faster than working out in an air- conditioned room. The heat increases your flexibility throughout the class, so you’ll be less prone to injuries and more inclined to push yourself and get results.
6. Rejuvenates skin
Working out in an infrared-heated studio stimulates the production of collagen, which is the most abundant protein in the body. More collagen means fewer wrinkles, better skin tone, and stronger skin elasticity.
7. Improves mood
Exposing the body to infrared light is a stress relief method that boosts our serotonin levels, which makes us feel happier. The heat will add to your post-workout endorphin flow, so you’ll leave the studio feeling like you’re on cloud nine.
Important Infrared Heat FAQs
It is important to stay hydrated during and after your workout in an infrared facility.
What is Infrared heat?
Infrared uses a type of light invisible to the naked eye. These light waves produce infrared radiation that directly hits the body. The skin recognizes it as heat and allows it to deeply penetrate the skin. Infrared heats objects directly in its path including your skin, clothing, and the surrounding atmosphere.
Our panels transmit heat in a specific way that our skin is naturally intended to absorb like sunlight. This radiant warmth induces relaxation and enjoyment while allowing the body to heat up naturally.
Why should I work out with infrared heat?
Using an infrared room for work out allows the muscles to warm up and relax more quickly, increasing the body’s flexibility up to three times. Infrared heat allows a person to sweat out fattening chemical toxins, promoting weight loss.
Heating is good for the body, especially in ridding infection, but by using incorporating far infrared heat you get the added benefits of increased energy production by cells, increased collagen and elastin production by the skin, increased circulation, burn calories and fat, increase muscle relaxation, speed injury recovery, boost metabolism, and the detoxifying release of heavy metals stored in the body's fat cells.
Is Infrared heat safe?
Infrared heat delivers all of the warmth of natural sunlight without exposing your body to harmful UV rays. But remember to always please consult your doctor if you have concerns and listen to your body.
