In a far infrared sauna, a moderately fit person can sweat one pound of sweat in 30 minute session, which is the equivalent of running 2-3 miles. While it is true that the weight of the water expelled in the sauna may be regained by re-hydrating with water - the calories lost with not, resulting in weight loss.
Weight loss is just one of the many benefits of regular use of Far Infrared Saunas.
How do Far Infrared Saunas Work?
Far Infrared Saunas have been around for years, but only recently have become popular in North America. Japanese have been utilizing the Infrared Saunas for the past century and have enjoyed tremendous health benefits from them.
Infrared Saunas are unlike conventional saunas which pull sweat out of the body. Far Infrared energy penetrates up to 3 inches into the body and PUSHES sweat out of the body. As the body is heated from the inside out, it forces toxins under the skin out.
The temperature of a far infrared sauna is typically between 90ë – 120ë F versus a traditional sauna which operates between 180ë -220ë F. However, despite operating at a lower temperature, you will typically perspire far more in infrared saunas because the infrared energy penetrates your body at a much deeper level. Fat becomes water soluble at 100ë F when it begins to dissolve, move through the blood and finally is removed from the body, resulting in weight loss. Toxins are also eliminated through your skin using lower, comfortable temperatures, for rapid detoxification.
Radiant heat is more effective than other heat because it warms you - not the surrounding air. A great example of infrared heat is the sun. The warmth of the heat on your skin you feel on a cold sunny day is far infrared energy. Far infrared waves vibrate at the same frequency as we do, which is why they are able to penetrate into the flesh and warm you up internally. Every moment we are emitting far infrared energy. In fact, palm healing is based on the natural healing properties of far infrared heat.
Is your body Over ACIDIC?
If you are unable to achieve weight loss or continually trying to lose that last 15 pounds you could be over acidic. Often times the body holds on to extra weight because it is toxic and in an acidic environment. When a system is too acid, the body produces more insulin than usual. The more insulin that is available, the higher chance the fat will be stored rather than burned as energy, making it difficult for weight loss. To protect itself the body will hold onto the weight. As the toxic chemicals are removed from the body when using a far infrared sauna, weight loss is inevitable.
Studies have shown that the detoxification potential of a far infrared sauna is 3 times greater than a regular sauna. When analyzing the water content of sweat in a traditional hot air sauna it was 95-97%. Conversely the water content of sweat in a far infrared sauna is about 80-85%. The remaining 15-20% contains toxic substances such as lead, aluminum and fluoride.
Reduce Cellulite!
Far Infrared heat can assist in breaking down cellulite. Cellulite is a gel-like substance made up of fat, water and wastes which are trapped in pockets below the skin. Profuse sweating helps clear this form of unwanted debris from the body. Because the heat penetration of infrared saunas is over twice that of conventional saunas and up to ten times the level of heat in these tissues an Infrared Sauna can be significantly more effective than a conventional sauna.

What Down Bedding Is Used In The Summer?
As summer approaches a common misconception about down bedding is that it is too warm and not apropos for the warmer summer months. In actuality you can still enjoy many different types of down bedding including down pillows, featherbeds and down blankets. One of the biggest benefits of down bedding is that the fabric primarily used is made of 100% cotton – versus polyester which can trap warmth and lead to a ‘too warm' feeling.
First of all you will want to make sure you store your heavier down comforter properly until needed in the fall again. In terms of top of bed warmth coverage – many folks like to use a down blanket in the summer. You still get the cloud like feeling of a down comforter – but less filling is used so that your body temperature is kept in check. One of the big differences between a down comforter and a down blanket is that not only is less filling used – but the size of the boxes quilted are smaller to keep the smaller amounts of down in place. Down blankets are commonly oversized and many times feature a decorative trim – such as a self flange, or a satin trim. Most down blankets of any size can be machine washed and machine dried.
Bedding basics like a feather bed is great for year round use. Not only do the lofty feathers allow air to circulate but it keeps your skin off of the typical polyester mattress thus further helping to keep you comfortable. Some types of feather beds – like a down top feather bed could over maintain a bit too much warmth so you could substitute with a basic baffle box style feather bed. This would provide the same type comfort, while keeping you a bit cooler.
Down pillows are used because of their ability to offer cloud like support and not feel stiff like a sponge which is common for many promotional polyester pillows. We generally advise that down, feather or down and feather pillows can be used year round. If you have not washed your pillow protector recently – now is a good time to keep it fresh and clean with a quick wash. Using a pillow protector will keep you from having to wash your pillows on a consistent basis. Washing a pillow protector is much easier than washing a pillow.
Although this story focuses on down bedding – we do recommend moisture management items like Tencel Lyocell sheets and duvets. These miracle fabrics feel like silk and wash like cotton – all the while offering excellent moisture management. Commonly loved for their ‘cool feeling' – baby soft fabrics are also great for consumers with psoriasis and eczema. Tencel Lyocell is also well known for its very eco friendly production process and is generally considered superior to Bamboo fabric. Although they can be pricey – try buying ala carte pillow cases sets and learning about the fabric and then when you love them purchase the sheet sets or duvet sets that use Tencel Lyocell.
