Burns Calories and controls weight...
Some weight loss authorities believe that our
bodies use fat to dilute toxins. As a infrared sauna is an
unsurpassed expeller of toxins, it is also a great way to
get rid of any fat our bodies are using to dilute toxins we
are storing.
Infrared sauna helps generate two to three times the sweat
produced in a hot-air sauna, the implications for increased
caloric consumption are quite impressive. As you relax in
the gentle heat of the Health Mate sauna, your body is actually
hard at work, producing sweat, pumping blood and burning calories
The Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA)
states; "A moderately conditioned person can
easily sweat off 500 grams in a sauna, consuming nearly 300
kcal, which is equivalent to running 2 -3 miles. A heat-conditioned
person can easily sweat off 600 -800 kcal with no adverse
effects. While the weight of the water loss can be regained
by drinking water, the calories consumed will not be.”
So you lose weight - not just water. This would be very valuable
for those who don't exercise and those who can't exercise
yet want an effective weight control and fitness maintenance
program and the benefits of a regular exercise.

Improves Skin...
Excellent for increasing blood circulation
to the skin, which is essential for beautiful, youthful, glowing
skin.
A new "inner glow" as the skin is
free of accumulated dirt and dry skin cells, due to deep cleansing
of impurities.
Improves the conditions of acne, eczema, psoriasis,
burns and any skin lesions and cuts. .Open wounds heal quicker
with reduced scarring.
Removes roughness, leaving skin baby smooth
and soft again. .Firms and improves skin tone and elasticity.
The profuse sweating achieved after just a
few minutes in the Health Mate sauna carries off deeply imbedded
impurities and dead skin cells, leaving the skin glowing and
immaculately clean, increased circulation draws your skin's
own natural nutrients to the surface. You'll see improved
tone, elasticity, texture and fresh colour.

Increases Blood Circulation and Strengthens the Cardiovascular
System...
As your body increases sweat production to
cool itself, your heart works harder pumping blood at a greater
rate to boost circulation, supplying the conditioning benefits
of continuous exercise. Heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic
rate increase, while diastolic blood pressure drops, for improved
overall cardiovascular fitness.
"Many of us who run do so to
place a demand on our cardiovascular systems, not to build
big leg muscles. Regular use of a sauna may impart 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.... A moderately
conditioned person can easily sweat off 500 gms. in sauna,
consuming nearly 300 calories -the equivalent of running
two to three miles. A heat-conditioned
person can easily sweat off 600 to 800 kcal with no adverse
effect. While the weight of water loss can be regained by
rehydration, the calories consumed will not be".
Two of the highest calorie output exercises
are rowing and running marathons. Peak output on a rowing
machine or during a marathon burns about 600 calories for
30 minutes. An infrared sauna may burn as many calories. It
might, in a single session, simulate the consumption of energy
equal to that expended in a six to nine mile run.
Extensive research by NASA in the early 1980's
led to the conclusion that infrared stimulation of cardiovascular
function would be an ideal way to maintain cardiovascular
conditioning in American astronauts during long space flight.

Removes Toxins and Mineral Wastes...
Increased blood circulation stimulates the
sweat glands, releasing built-up toxins and waste. Daily sweating
can help detoxify your body as it rids itself of an accumulation
of potentially carcinogenic heavy metals (lead, mercury, zinc,
nickel, cadmium) as well as alcohol, nicotine, sodium, sulfuric
acid and cholesterol.

Relieves Pain Effective for arthritis,
back pain, muscle spasms, headache, etc
Radiant heat helps with sprains, strains, arthritis,
muscle spasm and pain.
The deep heat of your Health Mate sauna helps
peripheral blood vessels dilate, bringing relief and healing
to muscle and soft tissue injuries. Increased blood circulation
carries off metabolic waste products and delivers oxygen-rich
blood to oxygen-depleted muscle, so they recover faster. Muscles
relax most readily when tissues are warm, for greater flexibility
and range of motion.

| Injuries...
If you are an athlete, an Infrared Thermal
System is all good news. It allows oxygen debt to be repaid
more quickly. This is likely to lead to improved and quicker
healing of sprains and muscle pain for you.

Improves the Immune System...
Sauna's deep heat raises your body temperature,
inducing an artificial fever. As it works to combat the "fever,"
your body's immune system is strengthened. Combined with the
elimination of toxins and wastes produced by the intense sweating,
your overall health and resistance to disease is increased

Clears Cellulite... Cellulite
is a gel-like substance made up of fat, water and wastes,
which are trapped in pockets below the skin. An Infrared Thermal
System can assist this condition, as profuse sweating helps
clear this form of unwanted debris from the body.
Health Mate saunas help clear ugly cellulite,
the gel-like lumps of fat, water and debris trapped in pockets
beneath the skin. European beauty specialists routinely incorporate
daily saunas in programs to reduce cellulite. And because
the radiant heat of the Health Mate sauna warms three times
as deeply as conventional saunas, it is significantly more
effective at reducing cellulite than any conventional sauna.

your Health Mate sauna gives you an overall massaging effect,
soothing jangled nerves and knotted muscles. You'll feel rejuvenated
and renewed, restored in both body and mind.

Scar on Skin Increased blood circulation
has also been shown to relieve acne, eczema, psoriasis, burns,
lesions and cuts. In addition, open wounds heal more quickly,
reducing scarring. Even keloids may be gradually softened.
Burns and other wounds or incisions may heal with significantly
reduced scarring.
