Strengthen Your Cardiovascular System with Aesta

German medical researchers concluded one session of Far Infrared Radiant Heat Therapy for over 1 hour can have significant reduction of blood pressure thanks to persistent peripheral vessels dilation. They also noted that blood viscosity was improved. After 1 hour of far infrared radiance, there is a significant decrease of blood pressure, cardiac ejection resistance, total peripheral resistance and significant increase of heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output and ejection fraction. In simple terms; it places demands upon the cardiovascular system, making the heart pump harder and producing a drop in diastolic blood pressure.

Infrared Heat and Coronary Effect Finnish researchers, reporting on the regular use of saunas state "there is abundant evidence to suggest that blood vessels of regular sauna-users remain elastic and pliable longer due to the regular dilation and contraction" of blood vessels induced by sauna use.

A group of hypertensive patients was studied using far infrared saunas, to carefully evaluate the effects on the circulatory system. With each infrared session, there was a decrease of blood pressure, cardiac ejection resistance, and total peripheral resistance in every subject. There was also a significant increase of heart rates, stroke volumes, cardiac outputs and ejection fractions. The researchers cite these last three effects as evidence that stimulation of the heart during infrared induced hypothermia is well-compensated, while the prior list of effects show clear detail of the microcirculatory changes leading to the desired result of lowering blood pressure.

The heart receives a workout similar to a 6-mile run in a 20-30 minute Aesta FIR Sauna session and the body perspires the same amount as a 6-mile run. While, The Wolfe Clinic encourages and promotes regular exercise as an important part of any wellness program, Infrared saunas are perfect for those who suffer from injuries or chronic illnesses that inhibit rigorous activity.

When the moisture on the surface of the skin evaporates and cools the body, a number of other changes occur in the body to release the heat as quickly as possible. The heart beats harder and faster, pumping more blood through the dilated blood vessels, thus achieving the conditioning benefits of continuous exercise.

As the body increases sweat production to cool itself, the heart works harder pumping blood at a greater rate to boost circulation, supplying the conditioning benefits of continuous exercise. Heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate increase, while diastolic blood pressure drops, for improved overall cardiovascular fitness. Regular use of a sauna is an effective means of cardiovascular conditioning and burning of calories.... A moderately conditioned person can easily sweat off 500 gms and since the body expends energy to produce sweat (1 gm sweat requires 0.586 kcal) it is possible to for some people to sweat off up to 1000gms or more in a healing session - the equivalent to running 10-15 kms. While this weight loss can be regained by re-hydration with water, the calories are lost.

Restore balance to your health and blood pressure rate as Aesta's gentle and deep penetrating Far Infrared Radiant Heat actively works to normalize your blood pressure.

Heating the body this way stimulates blood flow like nothing else can; except vigorous exercise. Increased circulation translates into higher energy levels, greater bodily healing capabilities and better overall general health. As well, Far Infrared Heat Therapy increases blood circulation and oxygen supply to damaged tissues (aiding reduction of chronic joint and muscle pain or sport injuries), promotes relaxation and comfort, induces sleep and relieves stress.
