Press Release Summary: One session in a far infrared sauna can result in the same amount of sweat that would take place by running six to eight miles, which helps with weight loss for those who cannot exercise on a regular basis.
Press Release Body: Buena Park , CA - Weight loss and weight control for those who do not exercise, and those who cannot exercise can be made easier with the use of a far infrared sauna.
The unique way that a far infrared sauna produces heat in the body can cause just a moderately conditioned person to sweat off up to 600 calories or even more in a single sauna session, according to Tracy Lopez of PLH Products, manufacturer of Health Mate saunas.
Weight loss can be regained by re-hydration after the sauna session, but the calories consumed will not. This is the equivalent effect of running six to eight miles in terms of the amount of sweat produced, but without the pain associated with the accompanying aches and pains from that level of physical exercise.
"Most people avoid exercise because the next day they ache so bad they can hardly move," said Lopez. "People who use the Health Mate far infrared saunas are able to lose weight and then control their weight and feel great while they are doing it. This type of sauna is by far the most effective and the most comfortable because it works on a much lower temperature."
A conventional or steam sauna works by first heating the air, then the very hot air heats the person's body. A far infrared sauna heats the body directly resulting in a deep heat while the surrounding air stay pleasant and comfortable, according to information on the company web site at http://www.HealthMateSauna.com
"Steam and other conventional heat saunas need very high air temperatures to cause the body to sweat, and are not able to penetrate the skin very deeply. Far infrared saunas are more effective because infrared rays penetrate the body over 1 1/2 inches. This deep-heating effect causes the body to react with large amounts of perspiration, which is the body's natural cooling process," said Lopez.
"A person will sweat two to three times as much in a far infrared sauna as compared to a conventional heat sauna," she added. "Having an in-home Health Mate sauna makes weight loss, followed by weight control, a far more pleasant experience than any other method."
