For the average American, being overweight has become a way of life. This is a difficult problem, which has given rise to a broad array of methods for losing weight. More Americans than ever are discovering that dieting and exercise are not the only natural and safe way to shed the pounds.

FIR Saunas are the natural, safe and healthy way to burn calories without exercising. There is no need to have the physique of an athlete or a gym membership.

Easy To Set Up, Even Easier To Enjoy!

All that is needed is to relax in a portable infrared sauna in your living room for several minutes a day.

Research shows that FIR sauna therapy burns roughly 600 cal. in just 30 minutes. Not only do far infrared ray saunas work, but they work very efficiently. A study in JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) stated, “many of us who run do so to place a demand on our cardiovascular system, not to build big leg muscles. Regular use of indoor saunas may impact a similar stress on the cardiovascular system, and its regular use may be as effective, as a means of cardiovascular conditioning and burning of calories, as regular exercise.”

Weight loss happens through sweating. The energy that is needed to produce all the sweat is the major source of caloric burn. Additional calories are burned through direct excretion of fat, which happens when fat becomes water-soluble at a temperature of 100 F and then begins to dissolve and enter the bloodstream to be removed from the body naturally.

People who already work out and can use a fitness aid, look no further than FIR heat therapy. Large quantities of calories are lost during a sauna session by accelerating the metabolism, giving any workout regimen a boost like no other.

Another way that infrared saunas can be useful additions to a work-out regimen was made clear in a sequential, longitudinal, interrupted time series trial. Ten obese subjects underwent 15 minute daily FIR sessions and followed an 1800 calorie per day diet for a two week period. Despite weight loss, hormones that are usually released with calorie restriction were not released so FIR may blunt the negative effects of weight loss due to calorie restriction.

Yet another way a FIR sauna can help lose and keep the weight off is related to chemical toxicity. Infrared sauna use will remove such toxins from the body and allow natural weight loss to occur as a result.

You may find just what you need in a FIR sauna. Whether you already have a workout regimen or you never work out and just need to get to a healthier weight, a portable infrared sauna may be the next logical step towards better health and weight loss.
