Pump up your Metabolism and boost Weight Loss, fight Obesity, Diabetes and Heart Disease. Infrared energy generated in a sauna penetrates deep into your body (up to 2 inches Deep.) This deep penetration causes a heating effect deep in your muscles and organs. Your body reacts by increasing your metabolic rate and raising your pulse as you start to sweat. As the body works to cool itself, there is a substantial increase in heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate. By sweating you can increase your basal body temperature, which puts your metabolism to work.

Having a higher metabolism doesn’t mean you will lose weight. However, having a higher metabolism does mean that your body can convert food into energy faster, which allows the body to burn off the energy through heat and perspiration. By having a slower metabolism rate the body starts to store the energy in fat tissues, which, if not released through diet and exercise, will remain in the tissue and weight will be gained.

Beyond generating a higher metabolism rate, a Sauna assists in weight loss in three other significant ways :

• It effectively reduces heavy metals which have been directly related to metabolic imbalances in the body causing poor digestion and weight gain.
• It decreases fat stored (lipophilic) toxins. Often weight loss cannot be accomplished unless these toxins are first removed.
• Although weight loss 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 short sauna session.
