What helps to cope better with the weather chaos?
First tropical heat, then torrential rain and autumnal temperatures: the summer of 2017 is a roller coaster of extremes. And this rollercoaster ride is really getting to many of us. The good news is that there is a training program that is as pleasant as it is effective, so that our bodies can cope much better with these temperature fluctuations.
Dizziness, circulatory problems, headaches and aching limbs - for many people, extreme temperature fluctuations cause the body to go crazy. The reason for this is simple: Our modern lives with high-performance air conditioning and heating systems no longer train us to adapt quickly to different weather conditions.
Stimulate metabolism through sauna visits
An exercise deficiency that can be remedied as pleasantly as effectively: Through regular sauna bathing. Because sauna bathing creates a kind of artificial fever in the body, which naturally activates and increases the metabolism quite considerably. In order to dissipate the heat, the vessels under the skin dilate, and blood flow to the uppermost layers of the skin increases dramatically. When cooling down afterwards, the vessels contract again and the pulse rate normalizes.
Sweating in the sauna and the subsequent cold stimulus from cold water, or even more tinglingly, from ice flakes, therefore ensures that the blood vessels first dilate and then constrict again - a vascular workout that is as effective as it is pleasant. "That's why the organism can react much better and faster to heat and cold stimuli in people who regularly go to the sauna," explains Prof. Dr. med. Karl-Ludwig Resch, head of the German Institute for Health Research in Bad Elster.
The right sauna for your own four walls
Regular visits to the sauna, preferably once or twice a week, should therefore be on the agenda not only during the cold season, but especially during the summer months. And of course this is particularly easy if you have your own sauna at home. Manufacturers of wellness and spa facilities such as KLAFS AG offer sauna models for every room situation and every requirement. In this way, the positive effects of regular sauna sessions can also be brought into your own four walls.
