If you’re looking to lose weight, we can help. In a recent study, our infrared saunas were shown to promote weight loss by burning calories while you relax in total comfort.
Weight loss is a key to health and wellness for many. A 10-year study published by The New England Journal of Medicine found that waist circumference by itself is a critical factor in assessing the risk of premature death. In other words, if you can maintain a healthy weight, you may increase your likelihood of a longer, healthier life.
When it comes to burning calories with infrared heat, only our saunas have been clinically shown to dramatically aid in weight loss. Results from a 2009 study indicated that our saunas are beneficial for lowering weight and waist circumference in just a three-month period. And for those who are sedentary due to medical conditions such as osteoarthritis, cardiovascular or respiratory problems, results were even more profound.1
Another study showed that 30-minute infrared sauna weight loss sessions can burn upwards of 600 calories. During a sauna weight loss session, your core temperature increases and the body works hard to cool itself. While using an infrared sauna, there is a substantial increase in heart rate, cardiac output, and metabolic rate, causing the body to burn more calories. Blood flow is reported to rise from a normal 5-7 quarts per minute to as much as 13 quarts per minute.2
Regular use of one of our saunas may be an effective means of cardiovascular conditioning and burning of calories, akin to regular exercise. So owning and using one of our saunas for infrared weight loss therapy is like giving yourself a passive cardio workout – whenever you need it!
Studies have shown that both far- and mid-infrared heat waves are effective in weight loss efforts. Our new full spectrum mPulse infrared saunas offer both far- and mid-infrared settings. We’ve even pre-programed the mPulse with a weight loss setting, custom blending the infrared output for the most effective use. But you can go even further and adjust the settings to the best custom output for you, on a session-by-session basis.
