Are you looking for an effective way to lose weight?

If so, you aren’t alone. According to reports by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 17 percent of teenagers and 38 percent of adults are obese. With such prevalent levels of obesity, many Americans are turning to weight loss programs and workout techniques to shed pounds.

Infrared therapy is a natural weight loss option that’s worth considering as part of your weight loss effort.

But in addition to weight loss, it can also help you to improve your skin tone and have a healthier look. That is because infrared technology removes extra toxins from your skin as it burns calories.

Read on to learn more about the best types of infrared weight loss therapy.

Infrared Body Wraps

Infrared body wraps are an effective way to use this technology to lose weight.

These wraps are placed around your torso and send infrared light into your skin. Infrared light cannot be seen, but you will feel the heat in your body. This increases your temperature and helps you burn calories by sweating.

Infrared light also works to increase your metabolism. This helps your body to burn calories faster and store fewer carbohydrates as fat.

This is especially important for people as they move into their mid-20’s and beyond. According to celebrity fitness trainer Obi Obadike, once a person reaches the age of 25, their metabolism begins to slow at a rate of 2 to 4 percent per year.

Infrared Sauna

People have been visiting saunas for many years as a way to unwind and lose weight. But an infrared sauna offers you better health benefits than traditional saunas and are becoming increasingly more popular.

In a traditional sauna, your sweat is made up of 95 to 97 percent water. On the other hand, infrared sauna sweat contains 80 to 85 percent water. Another 15 to 20 percent of your sweat is made up of toxins leaving your body.

These toxins include metals and other chemicals that might otherwise be harder to lose.

It’s important that you drink plenty of water when you are using infrared saunas as part of your weight loss program. As a rule of thumb, you should drink water equal to half your body weight (in ounces) each day. But on those days where you are using the sauna, drink two to four additional glasses of water after each visit.

This way you help ensure you are receiving the benefits of infrared saunas but not being dehydrated.
