The Secret to Wellness Sweating has never looked so good.

 Cultures around the world have been harnessing the power of heat and sweat to improve health for centuries.  Today, however, this age-old practice is quickly evolving as celebrities, fitness professionals and wellness-seekers alike turn to infrared heat therapy to get their sweat fix.  And the difference is all in the heat.
While traditional saunas use an exterior heat source to increase the temperature, infrared heat warms the body from the inside out, protecting the body from burning or damaging DNA.  A tanning bed, for example, heats the body externally; by contrast, infrared therapy heats the body from the inside out, providing additional benefits.  Though it may sound new-age and unfamiliar, infrared heat is so safe it’s used to keep newborns warm in their neonatal incubators.
Here are five reasons to get your sweat on!
1. Weight Loss
An average sweat session burns between 600 to 1,200 calories from the moment you hop into the bed until one hour afterward.  The water you lose during your sweat can be easily replenished but the calories burned are not.
2. Detoxification
We live in a complex world, and each day, toxins accumulate in our system from a multitude of sources.  Sweating, however, promotes a deep cleansing process at the body’s cellular level, where the majority of those toxins are stored.  With one good sweat, you’re prompting your body to activate its system for flushing and eliminating metabolic waste.
3. Enhances elasticity and collagen in the skin
As you sweat, dirt, chemicals and dead cells are shed from the surface of the skin and eliminated.  As a result, your skin becomes clearer and cleaner.
4. Boosts the immune system
Warming you from the inside out, infrared heat raises your core temperature, tricking your body into an artificial fever – the body’s natural mechanism for combating viruses – and strengthening your resistance to disease.
5. Promotes relaxation and stress relief
Infrared heat therapy is a great way to loosen muscles and relax your body.  As you enjoy your 50-minute session, while letting your wrap do the work, you can take a break from your daily stressors: Choose quiet serenity, music or your favorite Netflix show to make this time your time!  Leave refreshed, rejuvenated and energized.
