Our Bodies and Our World
- Both are Contaminated with Toxins
IMMUNE SYSTEM ENHANCEMENT
A typical sauna session will cause a brief 1 to 3 degree F increase in
body temperature. Fever is the body’s defense against bacteria, microbes
and consequent infection. This beneficial side effect triggers the
production of white blood cells (leukocytes) by your bone marrow and
killer T cells by your thymus. The result is immune system improvement.
These chemicals, when ingested, can remain in our body for years, altering
our metabolism, causing enzyme dysfunction and nutritional deficiencies,
creating hormonal imbalances and lowering our resistance to disease. We are
constantly exposed to poor air quality, chemically contaminated food and
water, heavy metals (including mercury and aluminum) household cleaners,
paint fumes, pharmaceutical drugs, pesticides, and more. Studies show that
most of us carry between 300 and 800 chemical residues stored in the fat
cells of our bodies. These chemicals and heavy metals make up the bodies
“toxic burden”, which can seriously compromise our health and lead to
unwanted weight, premature aging and chronic dis-ease.
The Far InfraRed Sauna is
recognized by health practitioners as one of the safest and effective method
of removing both chemical and heavy metal toxins from your body, thus
reducing your “toxic burden”.
The healthy band wave of the InfraRed wavelength frequencies is duplicated
by the Sauna used at the Wellness Spa. Your tissues selectively absorb these
rays as the water in the cell reacts in a process called “resonant
absorption.” This occurs when the frequency of the far infrared matches the
frequency of the water in your cell causing toxins to be dropped off into
the blood stream to be excreted in sweat, feces, urine and the ION detox
footbath.
WEIGHT CONTROL
The Far InfraRed sauna assists in
weight control in the following ways:
®
It effectively reduces heavy metals, which are directly related to metabolic
imbalances in the body, causing poor digestion and weight gain.
®
The Far InfraRed sauna decreases fat stored toxins. Often times weight loss
cannot be accomplished unless these toxins are removed first.
®
Although weight reduction due to perspiration (water loss) is quickly
regained, sending more blood to the capillaries and converting fats and
carbohydrates results in as much as 600 calories burned during one sauna
session.
STRESS
Continuous strain on the autonomic nervous system often leads to a high
level of stress, one of the elusive causes of many chronic diseases. By
facilitating the expansion of capillary vessels thereby improving
circulation, stress levels are reduced.
CELLULITE
Because cellulite is a gel-like substance made up of fat, water and waste
products (toxins) trapped near the surface of the skin, use of the Far
InfraRed unit is very beneficial. Far InfraRed is especially effective in
cellulite removal when used in conjunction with the ION detoxifying
footbath.
CARDIOVASCULAR CONDITIONING
The body’s natural reaction to heat is to cool itself. It does this by
diverting blood from internal organs to the extremities and skin. This
increases heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate. Medical research
indicates that the use of the Far InfraRed sauna may be as effective as a
means of cardiovascular conditioning as regular exercise. This is especially
important to those individuals who are not physically capable of exercising.
NASA concluded in the 1980’s that far infrared stimulation is the ideal way
for astronauts to maintain cardiovascular conditioning during long space
flights.
