Portable Far Infrared Sauna: A Whole Body Spa Vacation

Are you ready to sweat out some toxins and get in shape? Or maybe you’re like me and you just crave a little effortless warmth in the winter. I have been so happy with my new Far infrared sauna. I’ve been researching various types of portable saunas for many years now. For me, part of the challenge was affordability; I wanted an affordable luxury, less than $400 (though the one I got retails for over $900, there’s a really good special on Amazon – but only 3 left). The other key concern for me was space because when you live in an apartment, every inch matters. This one folds up so it stores easily after each use and is lightweight (less than 15 pounds for the whole unit).

There are so many great things about this Far infrared sauna, I’m just going to list some of the infrared portable sauna uses and the benefits of infrared saunas that I’ve noticed.

1) The Far Infrared sauna helps your body detox
2) Heats your body, not the air (so when you live in a small apartment, it doesn’t make your apartment feel like a sauna)
3) You lie down in it. This equals total relaxation. Sitting in a sauna is nice, but after being able to lie down in one I would never want to go back to sitting again. It’s good to let your whole body relax once in a while.
4) Sweat like you’ve never sweat before. I’m one of those people who hardly ever sweats (I’m always cold). I’ve noticed that with regular use of this sauna, my circulation has improved and my hands are even warmer.

5) Improved quality of sleep. I’ve been having trouble sleeping through the night for years. I’ve been using the sauna for about two weeks now and have already noticed improvements in the quality of my sleep. I have been waking up feeling well rested and much earlier than usual on my days off when I use the sauna the night before.
6) I’ve read other reviews that say infrared helps get rid of cellulite, helps with pain management, improve skin condition, metabolism, and more.
7) Even physically disabled people can enjoy some of the healthful benefits of “exercise” –burns over 600 calories in 30 minutes!
8 ) Can accommodate a person up to 6’5” tall.
9) Easy to set up. No tools required.
10) Your body will thank you.

Far Infrared Sauna Tips From My Experience

* Far infrared sauna Tip #1: I lie on top of a cotton sheet to make clean up simple (You will sweat like crazy using this thing and the sweat is like 7 times more toxic than regular sweat, so you’ll want to take a shower within 20 minutes as well.)

* Portable infrared sauna Tip #2: Try listening to relaxing music, dim the lights, and drift off to your happy place. It’s like a mini vacation that you’ll want to return to again and again.

Why I love My Portable Far Infrared Sauna is a post from: Natural Health Goodies

I just drank a farmer's market in a bottle, well at least part of one - I think they left out the organic lotions and grass fed beef thank goodness.

This time of year when my garden is two feet under snow it gets a bit hard to just step outside and enjoy some fresh greens not to mention the 31 varieties of super foods that are found in a bottle of Cell-nique. Plus you won't find Bladderwrack in my garden (what in the world bladderwrack is I don't know, sounds like one of those coin operated games where you take your aggressions out on a poor plastic gopher with a big mallet)

Whatever it is it's in there and it's organic even - so it must be good for you. In fact all the ingredients in a bottle of Cell-nique are certified organic.

According to their site "Cell-nique is the first and only delicious Super Green Vegetable Base Drink made from a blend of 31 USDA Organic Super Foods containing: super vegetables, super fruits and super plant botanicals that support and promote nourishment, cleansing/detoxing, alkaline-forming and rejuvenation of your cells by bathing them in pure phyto-nutrients and anti-oxidants." In other words if you drink these every day you'll live to 110, half of which will be spent in the bathroom.

All kidding aside I enjoyed my farmers market in a bottle as they claim, plus I got to type Bladderwrack which I never thought I'd get to do - guess I can cross that one off my bucket list - in fact if I keep drinking Cell-nique I'll have to make a longer bucket list.

Cell-nique is available in nine super funky flavors in three categories (one for each meal perhaps) EARTHY: Japanese Roasted Tea, Apple; FRUITY & REFRESHING: Pomegranate, Lemon-Ginger, Tropical, Berry-Grape; DECADENT: Citrus Vanilla, Root Beer, Dark Chocolate.

Coming soon is the rest of the farmer's market with peppermint lotion grass fed T-Bone, well maybe not (I hope) it would be unique though.

If you'd like to try your very own Cell-nique they do have a few 12 pack varieties of Cell-nique for sale at Amazon for a little less than I've seen it for at stores - check it out below.

If you've read my green smoothie inspiration you'll know our recent adventure into the world of green smoothies has begun with a splash. And true to our kitchen creative nature we had to do some tinkering with the basic green smoothie recipe from the video.

We've discovered the fun and versatility of making green smoothies, and to my surprise we now have kids who can't wait to eat their green leafy vegetables - who would have thunk.

So here it is folks, drum roll please... our first green smoothie recipe dubbed by our 4 year old... The smoothie you can chew.

Green Smoothie Recipe #1: The Smoothie You Can Chew

1 Mango (minus what you sample while cutting - so probably a half mango)
1 Banana
3 Strawberries
3 Broccoli florets
Handful of fresh Spinach leaves
2-3 Green Kale leaves
1-2 basil leaves
1 Tbsp Flax seed
Splash of Pomegranate Kefir
10-12 ounces of water or to desired thickness

Blend that baby up and enjoy some vibrant green goodness - Don't worry you don't really need to chew it. (unless of course you have a dull blender...)

Are you looking for an easy way to get a jump on a cold winter morning? Here's a simple to make powerful natural cold remedy that helps boost metabolism, brain activity, and the immune system all in one shot - plus it has plenty of other mighty fine heath benefits.

Simply make a mug of hot lemon water and spice it up with cinnamon and fresh ginger! Kapow - instant superfood celebration and natural cold remedy.

The Secret Superfood Ingredients in an Immune Boosting Cold Remedy

Natural Cold Remedy Ingredient Number one: Lemon

Lemon is widely known for its high Vitamin C content and digestion aiding effects but the real powerhouse here is the cinnamon and ginger and the combination of all three.

Natural Cold Remedy Ingredient Number Two: Cinnamon

In traditional Chinese remedies cinnamon is praised for its warming qualities (sounds pretty good on a cold winter morning) and has been used to provide relief when faced with the onset of a cold or flu, especially when mixed in a tea with some fresh ginger. Cinnamon's scent has also been shown to boost brain activity so when you add a touch of cinnamon in your morning tea make sure you give it a big whiff to help get those cobwebs out of the brain and perhaps help you remember where you put your keys.

When consumed with high carb foods cinnamon can help lessen carbohydrates impact on your blood sugar levels because cinnamon reduces blood sugar as well as cholesterol and triglycerides. It also has anti-microbial properties that help stop the growth of bacteria and can be effective in preventing candida overgrowth.

A Cold Remedy Just isn't Complete Without Ginger

Natural Cold Remedy Ingredient Number Three: Ginger

Ginger completes the digestive three way tag team because it is an intestinal spasmolytic (a substance which relaxes and soothes the intestinal tract). Ginger is also an excellent carminative (a substance which promotes the elimination of intestinal gas) so you don't have to ride the toot toot train all the way to work with this cold remedy. Ginger was shown to be far superior to Dramamine the motion sickness drug and is well known to be very useful in reducing the nausea and vomiting of pregnancy. Ginger contains very potent anti-inflammatory compounds called gingerols. Ginger extracts have been shown to have both antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor effects on cells and is especially effective in inducing cell death in ovarian cancer cells.

Ginger is not only warming on a cold day with its spicy kick, but helps promote healthy sweating, which is helpful when you have a cold or the flu. So if you are doing a winter detox adding a little ginger in the morning will really help the detoxification process. A good sweat may do a lot more than simply assist detoxification as German researchers have found that sweat contains a potent germ-fighting agent called dermicidin. Dermicidin is manufactured in the body's sweat glands, secreted into the sweat, and transported to the skin's surface where it provides protection against invading microorganisms, bacteria and infections.

Now after all that appetizing talk of sweating and digestion why not lose yourself in a spicy sweet hot mug of lemon ginger cinnamon tea.
