Healthy Lifestyle Studies have linked the following healthy lifestyle practices with higher natural killer cell activity: avoiding smoking, eating meals regularly, getting exercise regularly, eating a vegetarian diet, eating green vegetables, maintaining your proper body weight, and getting more than seven hours of sleep per night. The next time you’re feeling miserable suffering through a particularly nasty cold, ask yourself if you’d be willing to increase your commitment to these healthy practices if it meant getting sick less often…

Stress Management Did you know that a positive mental attitude can improve your immune system? Psychoneuroimmun-ology studies the interaction between the emotional state, nervous system function, and the immune system. What experts have found is something you have probably already noticed yourself: when we are happy and optimistic, we feel better, and when we are sad and depressed, we feel worse. Mood affects how well your immune system functions. So find reasons to laugh, look on the bright side, and relax whenever you can. When you experience stress, your adrenal glands put out increased levels of adrenaline and corticosteroids. These hormones stop the formation of white blood cells and cause the thymus gland to shrink. Because of the vital role these cells and gland play in immune function, stress can lead to suppressed immunity. The greater the stress, the greater the susceptibility to infections, cancer, and other illnesses. Exercise Exercise improves mood, reduces stress, and helps you maintain a healthy weight—all results that complement healthy immune function. Additionally, exercise increases circulation, enabling immune cells to travel through your blood stream to fight off invading viruses more effectively. Theincreased oxygen that exercise brings to the bloodstream also aids the immune system in killing viruses.

(Continued from page 1) and cardiovascular conditioning. Infrared is a highly effective form of detoxification. It can also reduce cellulite, improve skin conditions such as acne, sooth pain and stiffness from muscular-skeletal conditions, and counter the effects of stress. Immune System Sauna causes a temporary 1° to 3°F increase in your body temperature. During a fever, the body’s natural defense against infection causing agents, your production of white blood cells and killer T cells increases. This means you’ll leave your sauna session with a heightened number of protector cells ready to fight off invaders. Cardiovascular Conditioning Doctors are beginning to find that a sauna session has similar benefits to cardio activities such as running. This is especially good news for those with health conditions that prohibit strenuous exercise. Like exercise, sauna causes beneficial increases in heart rate and metabolic rate. Thirty minutes in the sauna can cause you to burn 900 to 2400 calories—the equivalent of a six to nine mile run. |
Detoxification The average person has residue of between 400 to 800 toxic chemicals stored in the body’s fat cells. Toxic build-up is the root of many health problems such as allergies, acne, anxiety, chronic fatigue, depression, frequent infections, and poor concentration. When far infrared rays penetrate fat cells and cause them to vibrate, they release toxins from the cells into the blood stream, where they are excreted through sweat, urine, or feces. Sauna’s cell vibration effects also aid the elimination of cellulite, which is a combination of fat, water, and waste trapped near the skin’s surface.
