Why I Use My Sauna Every Week: Sleep, Cardio, & Recovery.
What if you could get the health benefits of a light cardio workout while sitting completely still?
It’s Saturday, and we are asking Jessi a personal question on this week's Saturday Sauna Sessions w/ Jessi: Why do you use a sauna? As a busy professional, Jessi relies on her sauna routine for two massive life hacks: achieving deep, restful sleep at night, and getting a 30-minute cardio equivalent on the days she can't make it to the gym. The physiological response to infrared heat mimics the active demands of exercise, making it the perfect tool for a packed schedule.
The Wellness USA Facts:
Restful Sleep & Stress Reduction: Infrared heat helps soothe the central nervous system, naturally reducing cortisol while promoting the ideal physical relaxation required for deep, restorative sleep.
Thermogenesis & Metabolic Output: Relaxing in a 150°F infrared environment gently raises your core temperature to trigger thermogenesis. A standard session can mimic the circulatory and caloric burn benefits of a light cardio workout.
