Only two days left in my educational series Transforming Through Infrared Therapy! My hope is you have learned a lot so far about how you are able to transform from the inside out to start living a better life today. Today, I am covering something that begins to affect all of us later in life high blood pressure. Infrared therapy is backed by clinical research that shows a reduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Both are key factors in maintaining a healthy heart.
As part of a blood pressure therapy program, regular use of infrared therapy is good for your heart! In the U.S. alone, one in three adults suffers from heart disease, stroke or some other form of cardiovascular disease in their lifetime. High blood pressure increases your risk of getting heart disease, kidney disease or serious stroke.
Stabilize Blood Pressure
Infrared therapy has been clinically determined to provide one of the best, natural ways to lower blood pressure. In a 2005 clinical study by the University of Missouri Kansas City, Solocarbon far infrared heaters were shown to lower blood pressure through a program of 30-minute infrared therapy session 3 times per week. The study concluded that infrared therapy dilated blood vessels and reduced the volume of their inner lining, thus increasing circulation to promote healthy blood pressure.
Additionally, a Japanese study published in the October 2008 issue of The Journal of Cardiology examined the clinical effectiveness and safety of infrared blood pressure therapy, as compared to standard therapies for patients with chronic heart failure. The report concluded that far-infrared therapy is both safe and effective at improving clinical symptoms and cardiac function as well as decreasing cardiac size in chronic heart failure patients. Repeated infrared therapy treatments improved impaired blood vessel functions in patients with high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol. This suggests a preventive role for infrared therapy use for arteriosclerosis.
Tips to Lowering Blood Pressure in an Infrared Therapy
When in an infrared therapy session to lower blood pressure, there are a few tips and tricks to make the most of each session. While everybody is different, here are a few tips:
Hydrate
Make sure your water intake increases daily. While our far infrared therapy detoxification isn’t harsh, you are still sweating – some much more than others. The sweat produced in a far infrared therapy is 80 – 85% water, so it is important that before, during, and after your detox session, you drink plenty of water to rehydrate. You can also stay hydrated through drinking coconut water, adding Pruvit or add bone broth to your hydration routine.
Set Time Limits
While infrared therapy sessions are not harsh experiences, it’s best to begin with short sessions until your body has time to adjust. Start with a few minutes at a time, then slowly work up to longer sessions. The optimal time to work towards is 40 minutes. This is not only applicable to infrared therapy sessions, when starting new workout routines always start slow and work up to a time which works best for you. If you are short on time try 30 minute workouts. They are the perfect way to get a full body workout, sweat out toxins and still have time to accomplish everything you need to throughout the day.
Supplement Mineral Loss
No matter what your infrared therapy session entails, you are working up a healthy sweat. Within this sweat are some minerals your body needs to be its healthiest. With frequent use of infrared saunas comes the need to up your mineral intake with supplements.
Whether it is through infrared therapy, working out, or other ways of lowering our blood pressure. It is important to manage your stress levels and find healthy outlets to de-stress and detox our bodies.
