INFRARED SAUNA 🔥 INFORMATION POST 🔥

Why We Sweat...

At its core, sweat cools your core. Exercise, summer in South Carolina, or a steamy sauna session all raise your body temp until the hypothalamus says “open the sweat gates!” Liquid pours out, evaporates, and carries heat away. Without it, even a few minutes in a sauna could be more dangerous than healing.

What Is Sweat?

Depends which glands you ask. Eccrine, which account for 90%, cover the body and pour out a watery sweat – minerals, vitamins, proteins, and even trace toxins. Whereas apocrine glands, found in areas like the armpits and groin, release a thicker sweat.

Why Sweating Is a Power Move?

The benefits of intentional sweating go way beyond looking like you just worked out..

Cardiovascular Health: Raises heart rate, widens vessels, boosts blood flow, lowers long-term risks.

Cellular Resilience: Heat activates heat shock proteins, which help repair damaged proteins and reduce inflammation.

Stress Reduction: Endorphins go up, cortisol goes down. Frequent sauna-goers have shown lower incidence of dementia and depression.

Detoxification: Sweating in a sauna helps flush out toxins and heavy metals, supporting overall health through thermal detoxification.

How to Sauna Smarter

Saunas are safe and powerful, but only if you play it right..

Find the Sweat Spot: 150-195°F is the ideal sauna range for most.

Ease Into It: Beginners start with 10-15 minutes, gradually building up their tolerance.

Hydrate! Replace water and electrolytes. 🤝🏼
