A Far Infrared Sauna can aide in boosting your immunity and also the way that your body responds to the aging process.
IMMUNITY:
When cells are exposed to the Far Infrared Heat, Heat Shock Proteins are activated. These proteins play an active role in the body's immune response and are responsible for boosting immunity. Heat Shock Proteins directly interact with viruses and ultimately are responsible for their entry into cells and viral replication. So the more Heat Shock Proteins that your body has, the body has a greater ability to fight and ward off any infections.
The Heat Shock Proteins also increase the cells resistance to stressors such as low oxygen, oxidative stress and toxic exposure and infection.
LONGEVITY:
Again, when the cells are exposed to the heat and activated, the cells viability is restored as well as damaged cells. Oxidative damage over time is the root cause of aging and all diseases of aging, and the Far Infrared acts as a source to decrease this when used on a regular basis. It also has cardiovascular benefits by helping with blood vessel dilation and functioning, which can decrease signs of aging.
The Far Infrared Sauna also has benefits with the brain as one ages. Helps with decreasing protein accumulation and restoring the cell functions in the brain. It also aides in neuron regeneration and regrowth which assists with memory.
