one of my personal favorite benefits of the sauna, which is improved Athletic Recovery. So, we've all had that situation, where you get super sore
after a good workout, or it just takes you longer to recover than you ideally would like, and the infrared sauna
can actually be great for helping with that in a
number of different ways.
First, is that it helps with human growth hormone production. Now, human growth hormone production is something that really peaks in our late teens, early twenties, and then it continues to decline, and decline, and decline, and decline, as we go through our life, to the point where a 70-year-old will have about 1/20th the levels of human growth hormone,
as a 20-year-old would. And human growth hormone is
essential for muscle recovery, and so many other things
when it comes to anti-aging. So, if you can do something like take in an infrared sauna, that
helps to significantly increase human growth hormone production, it's great both for longevity, and for athletic recovery,
and building muscle, and recovering quickly.
The other thing to consider is that this infrared heat is great
for improving circulation. So when we get more circulation, and more blood flow going to the muscles, it's gonna be bringing in
more nutrition to the muscles, more fatty acids, more amino acids, more vitamins and minerals,
and not only that, but it's gonna carry
away more of the things that we don't want, so it's carrying away the lactic acid, it's carrying
away the calcium ions. And so in both of those ways, infrared saunas are fantastic for helping with athletic recovery post workout. Now, some people ask, should
I do an infrared sauna before a workout, should I do it after, and there's a couple ways
you could go about this.
You could do it both, it's great to do it before
to help warm up your muscles, and it's fantastic to do it after, for these reasons of recovery
that we've just discussed. If you only have time for one, I would go for afterwards, because there's many ways to warm up, but the benefits that you get in terms of human growth hormone response, and in terms of just overall recovery, because of that increased
circulation going to the muscles afterwards
is really fantastic, and it's not something
you wanna miss out on. So give an infrared sauna a
try after your next workout, and leave us a comment below, and let us know how it went. Thanks so much for joining us.
We'll be back here same
time, same place next week, and I would love for you to
come and join me in the sauna, and we'll talk about more
great, fascinating information. Have a great day, and
we'll see you next time..
