One of the primary reasons for using a sauna and possibly the most beneficial is that of detoxification. An infrared sauna Detox can result in elimination of heavy metals, chemicals and many other toxins which are detrimental to your health.

Infrared saunas typically result in a much better detox than traditional steam saunas. This is primarily due to the way they heat the body and the air, and also your skin temperature.

Infrared Heat = A Better Sauna Detox

Sweat fulfils two primary functions.  It cools the body and it removes waste products out of the body. Using an infrared sauna results in a sticker more fat-laden sweat and less electrolyte loss. In fact, the sweat from an infrared sauna session is comprised of up to 20% toxins compared to only 3% toxins in the sweat produced in a high temperature steam sauna.  This is a main reason the infrared sauna is the better sauna for detox purposes.

Some tips to maximise your Infrared Sauna Experience:-

• Drink Water Before You Enter The Sauna – A proper protocol for using a sauna for detox starts with something that is obvious… Hydrate!  Drink a glass of water before beginning the sauna session.
• Showering & Training Before using a sauna – Although not necessary, some users find showering prior to using their sauna results in a faster and heavier sweat and a more invigorating experience. It can also stimulate your body’s circulation even before entering the sauna. Results also suggests that training or doing some form of exercise prior to the sauna also results in a higher calorie burn as well an overall better experience.

• Dry Brush for Increased Lymphatic Cleansing – One of the important roles your skin plays is that of supporting detoxification.  However, if the skin is saturated with dead skin cells and toxins, its ability to eliminate these wastes is reduced. If you are using a sauna for detox purposes, preparing the skin to be effective in its detox role by dry brushing can often increase the results you experience.  In fact, dry brushing not only helps by removing dead skin cells, but also aids in waste removal through the lymph nodes.

Infrared Sauna’s are also great for – Weight Loss, Pain Relief, Cellulite, Scarring & Wounds, Anti-Aging and Relaxation.

Want to study Fitness? Here are some quick tips

• When looking into your fitness courses and qualifications make sure you find EXACTLY the support you will receive. Just because a course is promoted as ‘face to face’ doesn’t not mean you have full support or a classroom learning environment.
• Make sure the training model suits your lifestyle.! Face to face (or classroom) is a great experience but only if you can make it to classes. Perhaps a flexible mode of study will suit your work, family, social and other commitments better.
• Technology and Support frameworks. How is your coursework delivered, what is the support from teachers/staff, are there open communication channels, are the courses supported by cutting edge technology and learning resources?
• Go with your gutt! Sometimes it all sounds too good to be true and often it can be very confusing on who is offering what! Stop and think about it all… know who you are studying with, where they are located and the level of support you require.
