Young or old, healthy or sick, detoxifying our bodies in a natural way is more important than ever.
Research shows there are multiple dangerous toxins in our food, water, air, furniture, and even our children’s toys.
Scientists have also shown that industrial toxins have often been found in newborns, as well as their mother's milk, on a worldwide scale.
According to The Guardian, out of “more than 40,000 chemicals used in consumer products in the US, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, less than 1% have been rigorously tested for human safety.”
Although widely known, this situation is still concerning.
Especially for a population trying their best to eat healthily, sleep well and do enough exercise.
We gradually accumulate a variety of damaging substances as we go through our daily lives, including heavy metals, sulfuric acid, and ammonia.
While this accumulation of toxins is relatively normal, we do have some highly effective ways to get rid of the toxins in our bodies.
The liver and kidneys for example do an amazing job of getting rid of many of them, yet others remain in our bodies.
A number of them can also be expelled via food cleanses and flush diets.
Yet there is an even more effective technique that has been helping us ‘detox’ since ancient times — sweating.
How Do Saunas Detox?
Exercise and sunlight are both excellent ways to get your sweat on.
However, because of lifestyle reasons, time constraints or simple preferences, not everyone exercises as often as they could.
At the same time, staying in the sunlight for too long can be highly damaging to the skin, because of ultraviolet radiation.
One way to get the best of both worlds, without the growing danger of UV rays, is by giving infrared sauna therapy a try.
