INFRARED SAUNA WEIGHT LOSS & CLINICAL STUDIES
|
Jacuzzi® infrared saunas were specifically clinically tested for weight loss. Binghamton University (SUNY) in New York used a Clearlight Premier™ IS-3 for their weight loss trial with remarkable results.
Generating heat in the body benefits the body in numerous ways and one of the biggest benefits is weight loss. Many gyms and health spas include saunas as part of their amenities because of the weight loss benefit. What causes sauna weight loss? How do traditional and infrared saunas compare for shedding weight? What is the research? See the answers to these questions below. |
Sauna Weight Loss Studies
A two-phase, sauna weight loss study conducted by Binghamton University in New York revealed that an increase in core body temperature resulted in a decrease in body fat. It concluded that people who used a Clearlight Premier IS-3 infrared sauna three times a week for 30 minutes per session dropped an average of 4 percent body fat over a four-month period. For a 175-pound man, that represents a weight reduction of seven pounds.
Participants who experienced infrared sauna weight loss did not change their exercise or diet patterns during the study. Control groups in the study who did not use the Clearlight Sauna® showed no drop in weight. The study findings illustrate the significant boost that infrared therapy provides for our weight loss goals.

Benefits of Sauna Weight Loss
Losing weight requires a lifestyle change, but it doesn’t necessarily mean there’s a magic number we must all aim for in order to be healthy. According to the Obesity Action Coalition, a weight loss of 5-10 percent greatly benefits a person’s overall health. This achievable goal can improve cholesterol levels, alleviate hypertension, prevent diabetes, aid in combating sleep apnea and inflammation of the body, and reduce stress.
Stress is often a hidden contributor to struggles with losing weight. High stress levels contribute to the fat we hold in our mid-sections, especially the belly, hips, and thighs which makes us feel sluggish and quite literally weighs us down. When stress contributes to weight loss, it cannot be eliminated through diet and exercise alone. By using a far infrared sauna as part of a comprehensive weight loss plan, you may experience a noticeable difference in how you look and feel and you will notice your stress melt away.

Weight Loss by Sauna Type
Traditional saunas ease sore muscles and temporarily increase blood flow while sitting in a room typically heated to 180-220°F. This provides a great environment to relax and unwind. While beneficial, traditional saunas heat only the room you are sitting in and not your body directly. This makes weight loss by a traditional sauna limited when compared to an infrared sauna. This is an important distinction as the body stores most toxins in fat cells and this may effect your bodies ability to lose weight. Infrared saunas target these toxins.
In contrast, an infrared sauna session supports heat generation raising your core body temperature as your body absorbs the infrared heat. Using your infrared sauna you are able to eliminate toxins while energizing your body in a safe, comfortable way.
The Infrared Heat in your Jacuzzi Sauna, which as part of a healthy lifestyle, may help to temporarily increase human growth hormone production (HGH) and temporarily lower cortisol levels. This aids in greater weight loss and overall better health. The end result is safe and effective infrared sauna weight loss and the benefits that go along with that.

Toxins and Weight Loss
In addition to hindering weight loss, too many toxins can make the body feel fatigued, cause muscle aches and pains and lead to skin reactions like acne breakouts or rashes.
In the featured video below Dr. Raleigh Duncan, founder and designer of our Clearlight Sauna® models, explain the direct relationship between weight loss and the toxins called obesogens as well as the chemical BPA. He explains that as a fat cell becomes toxic the cell cannot lose the fat even when you are eating really well and exercising.
Dr. Duncan states, “The sauna gets the toxins out and then the fat will start to come off. That’s how the whole system works.”

Infrared sauna weight loss is easy, comfortable and relaxing. It is just one of the many infrared sauna wellness benefits. Infrared heat has been used for wellness for many years and is a tried and true option to increase your overall wellness.
I’ve owned and used my Clearlight Sauna for about three months now and thought I’d let you know my impressions regarding its effectiveness and value. I absolutely love my sauna! Thank you for selling such a wonderful and effective product! My Clearlight sauna has made a very positive and significant improvement in my overall health and quality of life. I have only one major regret – I wish I had purchased it many years ago, so I could have started reaping the benefits of using it that much sooner. The main benefits I’ve noticed from using the sauna are:

- Better recovery from exercise – I used to have sore shoulder joints after weight training (I’m 54). Now, I hit the sauna after weight training and I don’t get sore shoulders anymore. I also seem to recover faster from exercise (my muscles don’t get sore).
- Increased well-being – I now have a tremendous amount of energy. I seem to need less sleep and I feel full of life. I attribute this improvement to the resultant reduction in body toxins from using the sauna.
- Decreased body fat – After using this sauna for three months my waist is about one inch smaller than before. This could have been caused by a variety of factors (such as all the extra water I drink in the sauna), but the fact is that I didn’t lose that body fat until after I started using the sauna.
