Detoxification

Sweating is good for you. It is the body’s safe and natural way to heal and stay healthy. Our infrared sauna detoxification happens by heating the body directly, causing a rise in core temperature. This results in a deep, detoxifying sweat at the cellular level, where toxins reside.

“Detoxification is important because it strengthens the body’s immune system and helps the body’s biochemical processes function efficiently so that we are better able to digest the nutrients in our foods. Detoxification has also been shown to be helpful with colitis, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, auto-immune disease, immune deficiency states, autism, ADD and ADHD.” -Dr. Rachel West

Relaxation

Our Infrared saunas have been designed with the utmost in comfort for greater relaxation and stress reduction.

Unlike traditional saunas which operate at extremely harsh temperatures, infrared is a gentle, soothing and therapeutic heat that promotes relaxation and improved sleep. Infrared sauna benefits include therapy that helps you relax while receiving an invigorating deep-tissue sweat, leaving you fully refreshed after each session.

Weight Loss

In the mood to lose weight?  The Infrared Sauna can help. Our infrared saunas promote weight loss by detoxifying the body and burning calories while you relax in total comfort.

Studies have shown that benefits of an infrared sauna session can burn upwards of 600 calories while you relax! As the body works to cool itself, there is a substantial increase in heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate, causing the body to burn more calories.

Pain Relief

One of the most compelling reasons to use our infrared sauna is the natural pain relief associated with infrared sauna therapy.

Infrared sauna heat penetrates tissue, joints and muscles to relieve anything from minor aches and pains to chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia. Pain management professionals incorporate infrared sauna heat therapy into treatment plans to decrease pain and muscle spasms and to speed up recovery time.

Blood Pressure Reduction

Only infrared saunas are backed by clinical research that shows a reduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Both are key factors in maintaining a healthy heart.

Infrared saunas induce a deep sweat to make the heart pump faster, which in turn increases blood flow, lowers blood pressure and helps circulation. Scientific evidence shows the infrared sauna benefits using a infrared sauna a couple times a week lowers blood pressure.

Improved Circulation

Using a Infrared sauna for infrared therapy is like giving yourself a passive cardio workout – whenever you need it!

Heating the muscles with infrared rays produces an increase in blood flow similar to that seen during exercise. Regular infrared sauna use – especially in the mid infrared range – can significantly stimulate blood flow up to twice the normal rate.

Skin Purification

As part of a sauna skin therapy program, Our infrared saunas help restore skin to a youthful appearance. Our saunas are designed so that the skin on your entire body – from face to feet – will benefit from a sauna therapy session.

The near infrared wavelengths are the most effective wavelengths for healing the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin. Near infrared treatments stimulate collagen production to reduce wrinkles and improve overall skin tone. Far infrared wavelengths target deeper down, removing toxins that can have a negative impact on your skin.

Wound Healing

Our advanced Solocarbon Full Spectrum infrared heating technology has the unique ability to heal wounds faster and minimize scarring through the use of near infrared LEDs. No other sauna can offer these health benefits.

Scientific research has concluded that near infrared therapy greatly enhances the skin’s healing process by promoting faster cell regeneration and human tissue growth. Human cell growth increases to repair wounds and prevent infection.

Cell Health, Muscle Recovery & Immunity

Stay healthy with the natural preventive properties of Vivire's Wellness near, mid, and far infrared heat therapy technology, which aid in cell health, muscle recovery and overall immunity defense.

Near infrared light therapy stimulates the circulatory system and more fully oxygenates the body’s cells. Better blood circulation means more toxins flow from the cellular level to the skin’s surface to improve cell health, aid in muscle recovery and strengthen the immune system.

Risks

Overheating and Dehydration

The primary risk of either a dry or steam sauna is overdoing it. Overheating can lead to fainting and dehydration, and dehydration can cause electrolyte depletion. Elderly people are more prone to overheating, as sweat gland function decreases with age. Circulatory conditions also can be a problem, as noted by Sauna Talk. A child's body temperature also rises more quickly than that of adults, so parents should consult with a pediatrician before allowing a child to spend time in a sauna.

SLEEP MORE

Sleep is essential for a healthy heart. People who do not sleep enough are at a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. Getting enough sleep is important if you want to lower your risk of coronary heart disease.

Adults who sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher chance of having health problems. Including asthma, depression and heart problems. Lack of sleep can also cause high blood pressure. During normal sleep, blood pressure goes down. Having sleep problems means blood pressure will stay higher for a longer amount of time. High blood pressure is one of the leading risks for stroke and heart disease. About one in three adults has high blood pressure.

EAT SMART

Nutrition plays a major role in heart health and can impact your risk of heart disease.

In fact, certain foods can influence blood pressure, cholesterol levels, triglycerides, and inflammation, all of which are risk factors for heart disease.

Here are 10 foods that you should be eating to maximize your heart health.

  1. Avocados: excellent source of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, they have been linked to reduced levels of cholesterol and lower risks of heart disease.

  2. Fish Oil and Fatty Fish: Fatty fish like salmon, tuna, mackerel, and sardines and fish oil are both high in omega-3 fatty acids and may help reduce heart disease risk factors, including blood pressure, triglycerides, and cholesterol

  3. Walnuts: Walnuts help maintain healthy cholesterol levels and decrease blood pressure, two of the major risk factors for heart disease.

  4. Dark Chocolate: is rich in antioxidants like flavonoids, which can help boost heart health.

  5. Dark Leafy Greens Vegetable: Leafy green vegetables like spinach, kale, and collard greens are well-known for their wealth of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They contain vitamin K, which helps protect arteries and promote proper blood clotting.

  6. Berries: are rich in antioxidants like anthocyanins, which protect against the oxidative stress and inflammation that contribute to the development of heart disease.

  7. Seeds: Chia seeds, flaxseeds, and hemp seeds are all great sources of heart-healthy nutrients, including fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. Human and animal studies have found that eating seeds may improve several heart disease risk factors, including inflammation, blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglycerides.

  8. Garlic: Garlic and its components have been shown to help reduce blood pressure and cholesterol. They may also help inhibit blood clot formation.

  9. Olive oil: Olive oil is high in antioxidants and monounsaturated fats. It has been associated with lower blood pressure and heart disease risk.

  10. Green Tea: It is high in catechins and polyphenols, which has been associated with lower cholesterol, triglycerides and blood pressure

LIMIT JUNK

It is important to limit junk food to reap the full benefits of a heart-healthy diet. Added sugars, saturated fat and excessive sodium can all negatively impact heart health, as well as overall physical health. These foods, when eaten in excess, can cause weight gain, raise blood pressure and clog arteries, which are all risk factors for heart disease.

BE ACTIVE

AHA recommends 30 minute moderate exercise sessions five times a week. Jogging, walking, swimming, dancing, and biking are all great forms of exercise. Opting to park farther back in the parking lot or taking the stairs are great ways to squeeze in activity when time is short.

Heart pumping physical activity not only helps to prevent cardiovascular disease but can also improve overall mental and physical health.

BUILD MUSCLE

Do not be afraid to weightlift! Strength training complements cardiovascular exercise by toning muscles and burning fat. In addition, proper strength training can improve daily functional movements, decreasing the chance of injury. The AHA recommends two days of moderate to high-intensity strength training each week.

STRESS LESS

Stress increases cortisol, which leads to weight gain, a key risk factor for heart disease. In addition, stress can lead to other unhealthy habits, making it harder to stick to a heart-healthy program. Stress can also decrease overall happiness and increase the risk of anxiety and depression. Take time for self-care, and practice positive self-talk along with incorporating mindfulness meditation breaks throughout the day.

STOP SMOKING

Smoking is the most preventable cause of premature death in the United States, and smokers have a higher risk of developing many chronic disorders, including atherosclerosis, or the buildup of fatty substances in the arteries. When combined with other heart disease risk factors, smoking increases the risks associated with those factors.

SCREEN FOR DIABETES

Untreated diabetes can lead to heart disease, among many other complications. Diabetes can be easily detected through a simple blood test and managed a variety of ways under the care of a physician.
