INFRARED SAUNA FOR WEIGHT LOSS,
CALORIE BURNING
AND INCREASED METABOLISM

Infrared sauna for weight loss can offer a stress-free way to boost your metabolism and burn more calories. An article in the Journal of the American Medical Association has stated that regular use of an infrared sauna imparts a similar boost to the cardiovascular system as running. While relaxing in the gentle infrared heat, the body is producing sweat, pumping blood and burning calories. This is referred to as a “passive aerobic workout,” because although the body is receiving all the benefits of a traditional cardiovascular workout, it is not being stressed.  In this passive aerobic, parasympathetic state, the body is attempting to cool itself through increased sweat production and the heart is working harder to pump blood, thus boosting circulation. This increases metabolism and also burns more calories. A 30-minute infrared sauna session can burn somewhere between 400–600 calories.
