The Importance of Sweating

Like many people, you probably associate sweating with something like an intense cardio session, or yard work on a hot day. These sweat inducing activities may be enjoyable, or you might face them with dread, but whatever the case you likely cannot wait to shower that “gross” sweat off afterwards. However, before you blast the AC this summer, know that sweating has a myriad of amazing benefits. It all depends on how you go about working up that sweat.
At Sweat It Out, we use far infrared heat therapy to help you break a sweat. Infrared heat is a radiating heat that will make you feel like you are heating up from your inside out. This type of heat is also perfectly absorbed by water, and coincidentally your skin is 80 percent water! Once absorbed, you start to sweat, and many of the wonderful benefits of both sweating and the heat therapy are put into motion.
So, what are the benefits of using infrared heat to sweat besides getting all hot and well… sweaty? First, you are going to be burning some serious calories. Your body is hot, and it hates it, so it works really hard to cool you down. This process gets your heart pumping, and calories are burned. Secondly, sweating is a great detox, especially for your skin. Toxins are eliminated from your pores while you are sweating, and due to increased circulation (from that pumping heart), your skin will appear clearer, and softer. The appearance of cellulite and stretch marks will also be diminished! One of the greatest benefits of infrared heat therapy is pain relief. Maybe your muscles are sore from that awesome hike you did, or your joints are ready to retire. Either way heat therapy can be a relaxing relief, not only due to the heat itself relaxing your muscles, but again from the increased circulation bringing increased blood flow to those painful areas. This isn’t just for muscles and joints, but also for arthritis pain, cramps, and headaches. So, if this sounds appealing, we invite you to join us at Sweat It Out.
