Introduction
People from all over the world love their saunas for all the benefits they receive when they use them on a regular basis. Some of the typical benefits they receive are pain relief, weight loss and stress reduction. They eliminate toxins, get rid of inflammation, lower cholesterol and high blood pressure, improve blood circulation, promote cellular renewal and increase metabolism & wellness. They also reduce the burden on the kidneys. People report more energy and better sleep.
In this book, you will discover the recent scientific research which has discovered even more surprising new benefits. In the unprecedentedly polluted world that we find ourselves living in these days, many researchers and forward-looking doctors are calling saunas a household necessity
Amazing New Big Performance-Enhancing Discoveries
There is a lot of new information that has come out recently demonstrating just how amazing regular sauna use can be. People from all over the world love their saunas for all the benefits they receive. They are delighted when they find that, not only do they feel rejuvenated and look younger, but they feel livelier and more energetic overall. Many are surprised when they find their weight normalized, as well.
A recent Finnish study involving more than 2,000 middle-aged men found that using saunas 4-7 times per week decreased all-cause mortality by 40%! The risk of any form of dementia was 66% lower and the risk of Alzheimers disease was 65% lower than among those using saunas just once a week. The findings were published recently in the Age and Aging Journal.
Our Ancestors Have Used Saunas for Thousands of Years
Historically, saunas are common in many countries. In Finland, you can find them in nearly every home, where theyre used for relaxation, detoxification and much more. Archaeological evidence shows that saunas have been used ever since the Stone Age. In Finland, they have been used ever since 5000 3000 B.C., where are they were introduced by people who migrated from an area northwest of present-day Tibet.
Now science is now revealing precisely how some of these incredible benefits are created and why they have been valued for such an incredibly long time all over the world.

Traditional Saunas Compared to Far Infrared Saunas
There are two types of Finnish saunas, the wet Finnish sauna, where steam is created by throwing water on hot rocks, where the heat can be generated by either wood burning or electricity and the dry Finnish sauna which uses electrical heating,
The use of infrared began in the early to mid 20th century in Germany and has been actively developed by Japanese doctors and therapists for the last 40 years. Infrared saunas can significantly expedite the detoxification process, in fact
Improvements Have Been Made
The difference between an infrared sauna and traditional saunas is that the latter heats you like an oven, from the outside in. Infrared saunas heat you from the inside out.
According to the Mayo Clinic, this makes them much safer for heart patients who are warned against using traditional saunas. Because the core temperature of the body is equalized with the temperature of the skin, the heart does not have to race to equalize the temperatures.
While increasing the heart rate benefits circulation, its safer and not necessary to overdo it, as can happen in a traditional sauna. There are many benefits to enhanced circulation such as helping to oxygenate your tissues, carrying nutrients to your cells and releasing toxins from the body. FIR saunas dont raise blood pressure, but rather, lower it.
Because far infrared saunas heat you from the inside out the heat penetrates deeper, so the effects reach deeper and you sweat much more heavily, 2-3 times more than in a traditional sauna during the same amount time and at a lower temperature, 140 degrees in a Relax sauna rather than the 160-200 degrees commonly seen in a traditional sauna. Many people, myself included, take towels into the sauna to wipe down and the towels get soaked through.
And, also, since infrared saunas heat you from the inside out, the composition of your sweat is different from that produced in a traditional Finnish-style sauna. The sweat produced is loaded with more toxins, including fat, unwanted chemicals and heavy metals . See more toxins in sweat when using the Relax Sauna These particular saunas are so efficient because they are the only ones that generate 98% far infrared energy (patented) and, unlike wooden saunas, their reflective inner silver lining assures you receive the energy from all directions as the far infrared rays bounce around inside.
Because far infrared saunas heat your tissues several inches deep, they can enhance your natural metabolic processes. In addition, viruses and toxin-laden cells are weaker than normal cells. They tolerate heat poorly, so by raising your body temperature, this can help ward off colds and help infections heal quicker. This mimics the bodys natural process of creating fevers to kill bacteria and viruses. You can create your own mini-fever rather than allowing your body to create a cold or the flu to accomplish the same thing.

Benefits of Heat Acclimation
In this book, you will learn how heat acclimation through sauna use can
promote physiological adaptations that result in increased endurance, easier acquisition of muscle mass and a generally increased capacity for stress tolerance.
- This hyperthermic conditioning (heat acclimation) has positive effects on the brain, including the growth of new brain cells, improvement in focus, learning and memory, and alleviating depression and anxiety.
- It can prevent atrophy during muscle disuse, such as after an injury and aid in muscle regrowth.
- It can increase a neurotransmitter in the brain associated with focus and attention and it is associated with longevity due to the activation of the longevity gene, FOXO3.
- Heat stress also activates this master gene, FOXO3, which activates many other genes that protect against the stress of aging. including DNA damage, damage to proteins and lipids, loss of stem cell function, loss of immune function, cellular senescence and more.
- FOXO3 activates many of the other genes that happen to decrease with age, turning on genes such as stress-resistant antioxidant genes, DNA repair genes and genes that kill tumor cells.
- Heat stress increases the production of heat shock proteins, which protect against cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases and prevent protein aggregation (which, in the brain, is the molecular basis for Alzheimers and Parkinsons).
- That wonderful feeling, called Runners High, is even generated by the modulation of core temperature via an interaction between the dynorphin/beta-endorphin opioid systems
Much of this research has been reported by Dr. Rhonda Perciavalle Patrick who has a Ph.D. in Biomedical Science and is an expert in nutrition, metabolism, and aging. She has done extensive research on aging, metabolism, nutrition, and cancer. She currently conducts clinical trials examining the positive effects of vitamin and mineral supplementation on metabolism, inflammation, and aging. She is a post-doctorate fellow at UCSF-Childrens Hospital, Oakland Research Institute . Speaking of DNA repair , here she is discussing the role of diet and sleep as well.
