It’s hard to beat the invigorating feeling brought on by a healthy sweat. Ever wondered about all the benefits your body receives when you step into the soothing heat of a sauna?

When you expose your body to cold temperatures, the body releases adrenaline and noradrenaline (aka epinephrine and norepinephrine). These neurochemicals exist to make us alert of our surroundings and help us to sustain focus, even after cold exposure.

In Native American culture, sweat lodges or purification ceremonies, or simply “the sweat”, were spiritual in nature. They were only to be led by an elder who knew the language, songs, traditions, and safety protocols to be able to properly lead participants in prayer and in healing.

The InBody Analyzer uses safe, low-level electrical currents that run through hand and foot electrodes to measure body composition which gives us a lot more information that just measuring your weight, or even measuring your BMI using your height, weight and age. The more information you have, the better. The simple difference between weight and body composition is that weight is a measure of muscle, fat, and bones in the body, but body composition gives you the percentage of each which gives us much more information.
