Far Infrared Sauna Bathing Can Help Minimize the Effects of Aging


by Pertti Olavi Jalasjaa

There’s no escaping the truth that we are all aging. Every year, every month, every week, every day, every hour, we get that much older. For many of us, the signs of our aging are already evident. Our hair is likely grayer, whiter or thinner than it was 20 years ago. Our eyesight, hearing and sense of taste may be less acute. We may tire more easily yet not sleep as well as we did in our youth. And weight gain, muscle loss, decreased libido, wrinkles in our skin, and a growing number of aches and pains are probably other distressing concerns.

Some people try to defy nature by undergoing cosmetic surgery, utilizing every “anti-aging” skin care product available, taking stress management or meditation courses, or relocating to less polluted areas. These actions may have merits worthy of consideration, but the fact remains that no one, no matter how determined he or she may be, can slow down the passage of time. We start aging even before we are born, and the process does not stop until the day we die.

While our efforts may not influence time itself, they can, however, affect how our bodies respond to and endure it. Qualified health professionals agree, for example, that regular exercise and good nutrition can have a long-term positive impact on a person’s quality of life. As well, avoiding the dangerous ultraviolet rays of the sun is universally regarded as an effective way to help maintain healthy, youthful skin. And let’s not forget how quitting smoking has been shown to improve respiratory health and reduce the risk of cancer in many vital bodily organs.

One activity that has been proven to be of great benefit to the lungs, heart, skin and other organs is far infrared sauna bathing. The rays from a far infrared sauna can help improve cardiovascular functioning, strengthen the body’s immune system, reduce fat and cellulite, revitalize skin cells, improve muscle tone and strength, improve nutrition and production of brain chemicals, and much more.

Far infrared sauna bathing also helps to flush toxic chemicals, heavy metals and other destructive agents from our bodies. One heavy metal that has attracted particular attention over the years is lead. Exposure to this highly toxic substance can reportedly increase blood pressure and cause fertility problems, nerve disorders, muscle and joint pain, and memory or concentration difficulties. Researchers have also linked lead exposure to Alzheimer’s disease, a debilitating condition akin to dementia that most people associate with aging.

Various sources likewise suggest a connection between Alzheimer’s disease and mercury, the most toxic non-radioactive element on Earth. In their book What Your Doctor May Not Be Telling You About Autoimmune Disorders, Dr. Stephen Edelson and Deborah Mitchell note also that “once it is in the body, mercury affects both the immune and nervous systems by damaging neurons and the transmission of signals in the brain, causing symptoms such as loss of sensation, vision problems, muscle weakness, loss of coordination, loss of memory, chronic fatigue and tremors.”

Thoroughly research the symptoms of chemical and heavy metal toxicity, and you may begin to wonder if what most of us regard as inevitable indicators of aging are, in fact, misinterpreted signs of toxic build-up.

If you are an adult who is looking for a way to look and feel healthier as you age, you owe it to yourself to investigate the many benefits of far infrared sauna use. Far infrared sauna bathing can’t keep you alive forever, but it can help bolster your health and lessen the ravaging effects of aging as you live out your remaining years.
