Benefits of Infrared Sauna Therapy
1. Detoxification
Sweating is one of the body’s most natural ways to eliminate toxins, making it a crucial part of detoxification. When compared to traditional Swedish saunas, infrared saunas allow you to eliminate
2. Relaxation
Infrared sauna therapy promotes relaxation by helping to balance your body’s level of cortisol, your body’s primary stress hormone. The heat generated by the sauna will also help to relax muscles and relieve tension throughout the body, allowing you to relax and de-stress.
3. Pain Relief
If you suffer from muscle aches or joint pain, infrared saunas can relieve this form of inflammation by increasing circulation and relaxing your muscles.
4. Weight Loss
The heat generated by an infrared sauna will cause your core temperature to increase, which can also lead to an increased heart rate — the same increase in heart rate that you experience when exercising. When your body has to work harder to lower your core temperature or keep up with an increased heart rate, your body will burn more calories, resulting in weight loss. An article, titled Effect of Sweating, in the Journal of the American Medical Association concluded that a 30-minute infrared sauna session could burn roughly 600 calories.
5. Improved Circulation
As the heat from infrared saunas increases your core body temperature, your circulation will increase along with it. Consistent infrared sauna sessions, especially in the middle-infrared level, can stimulate blood flow, improve muscle recovery, and decrease pain and inflammation after intense exercise.
6. Skin Purification
Infrared sauna technology can help purify your skin by eliminating toxins from your pores and increasing circulation, resulting in clearer, softer, and healthier-looking skin.
Offer clients a dish that’s a feast for the eyes and the palate!
As the mercury soars and daylight lingers, we turn to energizing, easy-to-prepare dishes to satisfy our tastebuds. Here, inspiration comes from across the planet in the form of a lively, leafy medley served at the award-winning Inbal Jerusalem Hotel, which is home to an ISPA-certified spa.
In his signature summer salad, executive chef Andreas Marinkovits has created a dish that’s a feast for the eyes and the palate. In addition to its unique combination of textures and flavors, the salad’s health benefits are noteworthy: arugula brims with folic acid, calcium, iron, copper and vitamins A, C and K; fennel is rich in dietary fiber, vitamin C, potassium and manganese; and almonds contain monounsaturated fat, vitamins B and E, plus calcium, magnesium and potassium.
The dish is a hit with the hotel’s spa clients. “After a pampering treatment, the last thing guests want is a heavy meal,” says Marinkovits. “This salad is light and refreshing, flavorful, and full of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals that complete the holistic cleansing of the body that we aim to achieve in the spa. The citrus notes add brightness without fat or salt to weigh down or bloat the body.”
Versatility is another plus point, notes the chef. He explains that the green almonds can always be replaced with walnuts, pine nuts or roasted almonds; a grapefruit can stand in for the orange; and ricotta, feta or creamy goat cheese make good alternatives if labneh cheese is hard to find.
