The hectic holiday shopping season is here, and so is cold and flu season. The secret to staying healthy and beating the season is hot, literally. It is the Radiant Heat Sauna at Elemur Day Spa 56 in midtown Manhattan near Bloomingdales.
We already know that raising the heart rate keeps us healthy. That is why we workout. A cardiovascular workout increases our circulation, energy, metabolism and helps bring nutrients to our skin where circulation can get sluggish.
Did you know that sweating keeps us healthy too? Sweat releases toxins and helps clean our body. If we don’t sweat, those toxins remain trapped in our tissues. That is why a fever occurs when we are sick. The body wants to eliminate the toxins making us ill. Nature knows that raising our body temperature helps fight off sickness and infection. And now we know too.
Another hot tip to keep us healthy is that inhaling excessive dry heat is beneficial. We inhale germs all through flu season. Those germs want us weak so they can multiply. To avoid getting sick we need to stay healthy, energized and strong.
So know we know what we need to do to stay healthy:
Raise our heart rate.
Sweat out toxins.
Inhaling heat up to 170 degrees to incapacitate or kill bacteria so it can no longer multiply and no longer make you sick.
The easiest way to do that is by visiting the Radiant Heat Sauna at Elemur Day Spa 56.
A Radiant Heat Sauna (also known as Infrared Sauna) differs from traditional saunas is that it uses direct infrared energy to penetrate the body's tissues and is able to heat our body’s core. The temperature can be maintained at 170 degrees and avoids uncomfortable burning that occurs when traditional saunas only superficially heat the skin.
The Radiant Heat Sauna raises our core temperature and provides us with a “passive” cardiovascular workout. Of course this makes us sweat, helping us detox, eliminating toxins such as heavy metals (mercury, cadmium, lead), dioxins & pesticides. And as we sit relaxing and de-toxing we are inhaling heated air killing the bacteria that is trying to multiply and make us sick.
