Pro Fitness Clubs Steam RoomSteam bathing is not just good for relaxation, it is also great for your health! Regular use of a steam room can help improve your health and appearance. At Pro Fitness we offer top of the line steam rooms in our men's and women's locker rooms. Steam Room Benefits - Weight Loss: The heat from a steam bath causes a rise in heart rate and blood flow which boosts the metabolism, and also causes the body to perspire, this allows toxins like heavy metals stored in the body to be sweated out. Heavy metals stored in the body have been related to metabolic imbalances which lead to weight gain. Fat becomes water-soluble at 109.4 degrees Fahrenheit, during a steam bathing session the body's temperature is elevated higher than this and that allows the body to actually sweat out fat. Steam bathing is very good for closing fat cells. On top of all this in a single steam bath session a person can burn up to 600 calories! - Cardio Vascular: An increase in heart beat, increases blood flow which helps to reduce cholesterol. This increase in blood flow is great for your whole cardio vascular system! - Respiratory Health: Steam bathing improves lung function. Steam works better than a vaporizer or sauna for the lungs because it exposes you to more steam. This loosens mucus in the lungs and works as a natural expectorant. Steam baths have been proven effective for conditions such as: asthma, bronchitis, and allergies. - Clear Skin: Steam bathing helps clear out pours far better than any exfoliant, and increases blood flow, which allows more oxygen and nutrients to make it to your skin, this is what helps give your skin a healthy glow! If you have problems with acne steam bathing can help, having clean pours will help to reduce acne! - Detoxification: Steam bathing causes the body to perspire which is great for flushing toxins from the body. This can actually help you live a longer and healthier life, currently 95% of cancers come from poor diet and environmental chemicals. In a single steam bathing session a person can sweat out up to 30% of toxins built up in the body. - Muscle and Joint Pain: The heat from steam bathing causes widening of the blood vessels allowing more oxygen to make it to the muscles, which helps them relax and releases tension. Heat from steam bathing also soothes stiff joints and is proven to help arthritis. - Immune System: Steam bathing boosts the immune system. A rise in body temperature causes fever reactions in the body, such an increased release of white blood cells which help defend the body from viruses, and the rise in body temperature also helps to kill any viruses that are currently living in the body. |
