Sweating helps detoxify your body, by
removing the accumulation of potentially carcinogenic heavy
metals as well as alcohol, nicotine, sodium and cholesterol.
Profuse perspiration deeply cleanses the skin, creating
beautiful and improved tone, texture, and colour.
"Perspiration therapy", sometimes referred to as "heat stress
detoxification" is not new. It dates back before the Romans and
their baths. In fact, virtually every society including the
American Indian sweat lodge has used " heat stress
detoxification". If we are not perspiring we are missing as much
as 27% of our body’s ability to rid itself of toxins.
Health Benefits:
Weight Control
Our
Detox Box is exceptional for burning calories, controlling
weight and removing cellulite. A single sauna session will burn
as many calories as you would rowing for 30 minutes or a 10k
run.
Detoxifying the body helps in weight loss. People
who have unsuccessfully tried many diets often find success with
far infrared saunas because they are able to eliminate chemicals
stored in the fat cells. This makes weight loss easier.
Weight loss occurs because body fat becomes water soluble at
43ºC and the body can sweat it out. The most immediate effect
you'll notice to your health is immense relaxation. Read, listen
to music or meditate in the comfortable warmth while stress
melts away leaving behind a feeling of total rejuvenation.
The Detox Box assists in weight loss in three significant
ways:
1. It effectively reduces heavy metals which have been
directly related to metabolic imbalances in the body causing
poor digestion and weight gain.
2. It decreases fat stored (lipophilic)
toxins. Often weight loss cannot be accomplished unless these
toxins are first removed.
3. Although weight loss due to
perspiration (water loss) is quickly regained, sending more
blood to the capillaries and converting fats and carbohydrates
results in as much as 600 calories burned during one short sauna
session.
Cellulite Reduction
Because
cellulite is a gel-like substance made up of fat, water and
waste products trapped near the surface of the skin, The Detox
Box is very beneficial. It is particularly effective in
cellulite removal when used in conjunction with a program
including diet and massage.
Relieves Pain
Far
infrared heat can help relieve pain by dilating (widening) blood
vessels. This causes increased blood circulation and allows more
oxygen to reach injured areas. It also helps reduce pain and
speeds up the healing process. Far infrared heat has also been
used extensively in the treatment of arthritis, rheumatism and
muscle spasms.
Cardiovascular Conditioning
The body’s natural reaction to heat is to cool itself. It does
this by diverting blood from internal organs to the extremities
and skin. This increases heart rate, cardiac output and the
metabolic rate. Medical research indicates that use of The Detox
Box may be as effective a means of cardiovascular conditioning
as regular exercise. This is especially important for those
individuals who are not physically capable of exercising. NASA
concluded in the 1980’s that far infrared stimulation is the
ideal way for astronauts to maintain cardiovascular conditioning
during long space flights.
Exercise Effect
Works your heart similar to a 10 kilometre run.
If you take
a 30 minute sauna in The Detox Box, you perspire the same amount
as if you had run 10 kilometres. Clearly for people not in a
position to take such regular exercise this sauna is a viable
alternative.
Immune System Improvement
A
typical sauna session will cause a brief 1 to 2 degree Celsius
increase in body temperature. Fever is the body’s defence
against bacteria, microbes and consequent infection. This
beneficial side effect triggers the production of white blood
cells (leukocytes) by your bone marrow and killer T cells by
your thymus. The result is immune system improvement. Your
immune system is strengthened because when your body temperature
is raised, your systems fight this "artificial fever".
Stress Reduction
Continuous strain on the autonomic
nervous system often leads to a high level of stress, one of the
elusive causes of many chronic diseases. By facilitating the
expansion of capillary vessels thereby improving circulation,
stress levels are reduced.
Eliminate Toxins
The Detox Box
removes toxins, such as heavy metals (see sweat analysis chart
above), that accumulate due to sluggish elimination. It
increases the eliminative, detoxifying, and cleansing capacity
of the skin by stimulating the sweat glands.
It's a Toxic
World
Today more than 77,000 chemicals are in active
production. Our exposure to these chemicals is greater than at
any time. More than 3,000 chemicals are added to our food
supply. More than 10,000 chemicals in the form of solvents,
emulsifiers and preservatives are used in food processing and
storage. When ingested these chemicals can remain in the body
for years, altering our metabolism, causing enzyme dysfunction
and nutritional deficiencies, creating hormonal imbalances and
lowering our threshold of resistance to chronic disease. We are
continually subjected to poor air quality, chemically
contaminated food and water, household cleansers, paint fumes,
pharmaceutical drugs, pesticides, heavy metals (including
mercury) and the list goes on and on. Today, studies show that
most of us have between 400 and 800 chemical residues stored in
the fat cells of our bodies. These chemicals and heavy metals
make up the "total toxic burden". When our bodies exceed the
limit that we can excrete, we begin to store these toxins. This
bioaccumulation seriously compromises our physiological and
psychological health and leads to chronic disease.
Toxicity Symptoms
The following symptoms are often
related to toxicity: allergies, acne, anxiety, burning skin,
brain fog, chronic fatigue, chemical sensitivities, depression,
eczema, frequent colds or flu, feeling "sick all over",
insomnia, loss of dexterity, low body temperature, memory loss,
mood swings, muscle and joint pains and poor concentration.
Detox, Detox, Detox
&"Studies now confirm that
diet and environmental chemicals cause 95% of cancers.
Furthermore, as the first generation of man exposed to such an
unprecedented plethora of daily chemicals, we have learned that
stored or undetoxified chemicals can mimic any disease.
"Incurable" chronic diseases that were thought to have no known
cause often disappear once toxic chemicals are gone. Since the
far infrared sauna is the safest, most efficacious and
economical way of depurating stored toxins, this makes it a
household necessity."
