Sweating for Weight Loss

 It’s October! You are now probably unpacking all of your sweaters, and craving pumpkin everything. Best of all it is no longer crazy to be planning your Halloween costume, or to be thinking about who you are going to invite over for Thanksgiving dinner. The holidays are great, however, they can also bring a lot of stress, especially if you’re the one in charge of all the planning and cooking. Stress mixed with a constant supply of delicious food? Not so great for your midsection. Stress is one of the biggest contributors to weight retention, and when you are stressed, exercise and diet alone will not get rid of stubborn fat. So, relieving stress and burning calories through an infrared body wrap session, is one of the best ways to keep extra weight off this holiday season.
When you are stressed out your cortisol levels rise. Cortisol is an important hormone produced by your body, but too much of it can lead to a variety of health problems, including the inability to get rid of excess weight. Far infrared heat, which is the type of heat used here at Sweat It Out has been shown to slightly reduce cortisol levels! This, along with the quiet, relaxing environment can be a key factor in reducing your stress levels.
Not only does the holiday season sometimes cause stress, but it is also a time where a lot of food is easily accessible. Maybe you’re stress eating, or maybe you have a lot of parties to go to. Either way you are likely consuming more than usual. The way to combat weight gain is simply to burn more calories than you consume. So, once you are relaxed, and your stress is reduced, a simple way to burn a lot of calories is through the same way you just reduced that stress! An infrared body wrap session. During a session, infrared heat raises your core temperature, your heart rate increases, and your metabolism kicks into high gear. This allows you to burn 600 to 1200 calories in just 50 minutes.
