The infrared sauna should be an essential part of everyone’s recovery process, whether you’re an older person who just goes on walks, an active adult, or you are a professional athlete. Even if you are not active, the sauna is still great. The sauna stimulates your cardiovascular system, increases your heart rate, and essentially acts in a similar way that going for a run outside would. The infrared sauna can be a great addition to any training regimen. Also, when we sweat in the infrared sauna, many harmful metals and chemicals that lead to chronic inflammation, illnesses or diseases ( Such as cardiovascular disease or cancer), are excreted. According to Dr. Rhonda Patrick, “In a study in which the presence of various compounds (including heavy metals) in the blood, urine, and sweat of 20 adults was measured, markedly higher excretion of aluminum (3.75-fold), cadmium (25-fold), cobalt (7-fold), and lead (17-fold) was observed in sweat”.
It is more important than ever that we use the sauna as much as possible. It is well known that in this COVID-19 environment, stress and depression levels are high, whether that be due to isolation or financial struggles. The infrared sauna can help with stress, depression and anxiety, “In a randomized controlled trial involving 28 people diagnosed with mild depression, participants who received four weeks of sauna sessions experienced reduced symptoms of depression – such as improved appetite and reduced body aches and anxiety – compared to the control group, which received bedrest instead of sauna therapy (Masuda, Akinori MD, PhD, 2005).
