Far Infrared Sauna = Awesome!

via Know the Cause Blogs by Michael Smith on 9/4/09

A couple years ago, I was living with Evan (Doug’s son whom you may have seen on the show). We got really into working out for about 4 months, more than just as regular exercise. I think we were inspired by Gerard Butler’s cobblestone abs from the movie 300, which admittedly I never achieved. However, nearly every day we were in the gym, sometimes twice. At the end of each work out, we spent about 30 minutes in a far infrared sauna. Ethan and I recently sat in Doug’s sauna; I had forgotten how totally awesome they are!For those of you who have no clue what I’m talking about, a sauna is basically a hot, wooden box that you sit and perspire in. Far infrared saunas emit far infrared light - a form of light whose frequency isn’t in the visible light spectrum. Sauna companies claim that this type of light penetrates deep into your skin - between 1.5 and 3 inches, and helps break up toxins, allowing them to be sweat out. I don’t completely understand the science behind saunas, but I do know how incredible they make me feel. One of the things I noticed from my most recent sauna experience was how clean I felt afterwards. I immediately got out and rinsed off in a shower (always a good idea to wash that toxin laden sweat off before it dries… ), and my skin felt smooth and I just felt clean! I slept deeper than I have in months, and woke up completely refreshed. For anyone trying to detox or just wants to feel good, I highly recommend it!
