Melt Away Worries With A Toasty Body Wrap

Do you know the newest and best way to break a sweat? If you’re thinking it’s some novel exercise equipment that costs a king’s ransom, then the answer is no. We’re talking about the newest swing in fitness and recovery - the infrared sauna blanket. If you still think that getting the sauna experience involves being baked in a steam booth you might be glad to discover the new infrared sauna blanket. These sauna blankets heat up your body using infrared rays while you’re comfortably tucked inside a blanket. 

There is a lot of razzmatazz around this product - mainly due to a heap of research-backed health benefits one can get from traditional saunas. From improving heart health and chronic pain all the way to promoting blood flow and helping you recover from post-workout DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness), sauna blankets seem to to be the panacea for all. It’s not, definitely not an elixir for all. However, the benefits of saunas are countless. These sauna blankets can produce positive changes you didn’t even know you needed.

Relieve Sore Muscles

Sore muscles can occur from strenuous exercise but also your usual daily activities and if you don’t get the proper treatment, your muscles will start to feel swollen and inflamed, even if you don’t put excess pressure on them. DOMS or delayed onset muscle soreness is fairly common among fitness fanatics. When you experience DOMS, it’s time to rest and recover.
 
The sauna blanket can be a real lifesaver for those who are suffering from sore muscles because it increases the production of heat shock proteins (HSPs). This will protect you against oxidative damage that can happen to your muscles and repair the damaged proteins in your body.

Give Your Body The Detoxification It Needs

Throughout your day, your body gets in contact with various environmental toxins such as radiation and heavy metals which can have a very negative effect on your health and wellbeing. But with a daily session in your sauna blanket, you will receive proper hydration and sweat out all of those toxins.

Lose Weight

The infrared lights this sauna blanket uses can easily penetrate your skin and increase your basal metabolic rate (BMR). Increasing your BMR is one of the most efficient ways of burning calories and according to studies, if you use an infrared sauna blanket for an hour, you will burn upwards of 600 calories.

Improve Your Immune System

When you increase your core body temperature, you produce a detoxifying sweat that can accelerate and boost your metabolism and help you maintain a healthy immune system. Hot sauna blankets raise the body temperature and simulate a fever which kicks off the immune system. This helps kill bacteria, remove toxins and improve overall health.

 

Lower Your Blood Pressure And Reduce Anxiety

You can use your sauna blanket to battle the everyday stress you go through because the combination of infrared wavelengths and elevated body temperature has an amazing effect on your blood cells. By spending time in this blanket, your blood cells will dilate which relieves the pressure force on your arteries. Low blood pressure will reduce your anxiety which is closely connected to high blood pressure.
