W hat makes Health-Plus™ different? Safe,
effective radiant heat, just like the sun's soothing warmth. Radiant heat is more
efficient because it warms you, not the air. Your body directly absorbs as much as 93% of
the heat generated by your Health-Plus™ sauna.
Uses Less
Energy
The
Health-Plus™ sauna
costs less to operate because it uses very little energy - about the same amount used by a
hair dryer or toaster oven. And it takes only 5 to 10 minutes to preheat. not the 30 to 60
minutes required by traditional saunas.
Effective at
Lower Temperature
Health-Plus™
saunas operate at safer, more comfortable temperatures than other saunas,
only 110 - 150°F. Its radiant heat reaches deep, to be absorbed by your body
as much as 1.5 inches below the skin, while producing 2 to 3 times more
sweat than other saunas.
Traditional saunas
rely on a stove to heat the air to as hot as 220 °F. The energy they require can as much
as double your electricity bill. And to be effective, this superheated air must remain
tightly enclosed, resulting in a stifling, suffocating environment. By contrast,
Health-Plus™ saunas allow fresh air to circulate for ventilation and maximum comfort.
Burns
Calories and Controls Weight
As you relax in the
gentle heat of the Health-Plus™ sauna, your body is actually hard at work, producing sweat,
pumping blood - and burning calories.
According to a Journal
of the American Medical Association report, in a single sauna session you may burn as many
calories as you would rowing or jogging for 30 minutes. So you lose weight - not just
water.
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."
Journal of the
American Medical Association. August 7, 1981
Relieves Pain
The deep heat of your
Health-Plus™ 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.
Eases joint
Pain and Stiffness
In Europe, radiant
heat therapy is widely used to treat patients suffering from many forms of arthritis. In
addition, it has been proved effective in the treatment of sprains, neuralgia, bursitis,
muscle spasms, joint stiffness and many other muscular-skeletal ailments. Much of the
stiffness, aches and soreness that comes with aging is reduced or eliminated.
Clears
Cellulite
Health-Plus™
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-Plus™
sauna warms three times as deeply as conventional saunas, it is
significantly more effective at reducing cellulite.
Removes
Toxins and Mineral Waste
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.
Improves Skin
The profuse sweating
achieved after just a few minutes in the Health-Plus™ 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 color.
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.
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.
Reduces
Stress and Fatigue
Perhaps the most
immediate relief your Health-Plus™ sauna offers is simple relaxation, as it melts away the
stresses and tensions of urban life. Just a few minutes in the gentle warmth of your
Health-Plus™ 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. |
