Why we get FAT....."Fill'er up"
When energy fuel (calories) input is equal to energy fuel (calories) consumption, there is no expansion of fat cells (lipocytes) to accomodate excess fuel (calories).
The most important thing to remember about your weight is the relationship between calorie intake (from eating) and calorie burn (from activity). To lose weight, you need to burn more calories than you're taking in. To maintain your weight, intake and burn should be equal.

It is only when more calories are taken in than used that the extra calories are stored in fat cells and the person begins to accumulate fat. During a 50 minute InfraRed body wrap you can burn 1200 calories, and continue to burn calories for up to 24 hours afterwards, due to an elevated metabolism.

Relaxing and Enjoyable, lay back and listen to music while you feel the heat come in and the fat and pains leave.

What is the Infrared Body Wrap System?

Is Infrared heat safe?

Yes, infrared heat is within the same frequency levels as our own body heat and this is in tune with our own energy system. It is therefore safe and compatible for us to use, allowing deep heat penetration that is not possible with other methods of heating.

Infrared Thermal Heat and cardiovascular conditioning.
Due to the deep penetration, over 1.5” into the skin, of the infrared rays generated by the Infrared Thermal System, there is a heating effect deep in the muscular tissues and the internal organs. The body responds to his deep-heating effect via an hypothalamic-induced increase in both heart volume and rate. This beneficial heart stress leads to a sought-after cardiovascular training and conditioning effect. Medical researches confirm that the use of Infrared Thermal heat provides cardiovascular conditioning as the body works to cool itself and involves substantial inceases in heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate. As a confirmation of the validity of this form of cardiovascular conditioning, extensive research by NASA in the early 1980’s led to the conclusion that infrared stimulation of cardiovascular function would be the ideal way to maintain cardiovascular conditioning in American astronauts during long space flights. Blood flow during whole-body hypothermia is reported to rise from a normal 5 ~ 7 quarts per minute to as much as 13 quarts per minute.

“Medical practitioners make use of Infrared Radiant Heat to treat sprains, strains, bursitis, peripheral vascular diseases, arthritis, and muscle pain…” – McGraw/Hill - Encyclopedia of Science and Technology

The following is a summary from Therapeutic Heat and Cold, 4th Edition, Ed. Justus F. Lehmann M.D., Williams and Wilkins, Chapter 9 or concluded from the data therein.

Generally it is accepted that heat produces the following desirable therapeutic effects.

  • It increases the extensibility of collagen tissues.
  • It decreases joint stiffness directly.
  • It is relieves muscle spasms
  • It produces pain relief.
  • It increases blood flow.
