Trying to lose weight can prove to be a time-consuming and tiring process. But what if we told you that you don't have to suffer? If you incorporate whole body cryotherapy into your life, combined with a healthy, balanced diet and frequent exercise, you will see quick results and great progress towards your goals.
We will tell you everything about how the cryosauna will help you lose weight quickly.
Cryotherapy rapidly increases your metabolic rate, which – combined with a healthy lifestyle, frequent exercise and a balanced diet – is the best way to burn fat much faster. After the session, your brain instructs your body to send blood to the core to increase your body temperature and consequently your metabolic rate. Enriched blood circulates throughout your body, boosting your immune system, relieving pain, and contributing to cell regeneration. After being exposed to sub-zero temperatures during the session, your body will obviously need significant amounts of energy to bring the temperature back down to normal levels. Essentially your body thinks it's going to freeze.
Just like when you're cold in winter, you'll feel shivery and your internal processes will work harder to raise your body temperature. Therefore, the fat burning process starts much faster as your body needs more energy and nutrients in order to continue functioning under the extremely cold temperatures. For up to 8 hours after the session, you will burn about 2000-3000 kJ, which corresponds to about 500-800 calories. How many calories would you burn if you ran for 45 minutes. This comes in addition to burning calories through healthy eating and exercise. Repeated sessions will give you optimal results while improving blood circulation and muscle function.
How often should I do Cryotherapy to lose weight?
In order to get the best results from cryotherapy sessions, combined with hygiene diet and exercise, a schedule of at least 10 sessions over 2-3 weeks is recommended. The 10 sessions are recommended because after your first few sessions, the increased metabolic rate tends to be maintained longer between sessions improving the result even more.
Is there evidence of successful weight loss?
A study published in "The Journal of Clinical Investigation" concluded that people who spent 2 hours a day in a room with a temperature of 17℃ consumed more energy than those who were in a room with a temperature of 27℃. Similarly, another study concluded that people sleeping at a temperature of 19℃ experienced increased levels of calorie burning up to 42% and a 10% increase in metabolic rate. If a temperature change of only 10℃ makes such a big difference, imagine the effects of exposure to sub-zero temperatures. This study, however, seems to imply that mere exposure to low temperatures during cryotherapy is sufficient for weight loss. Unfortunately this is not the case.
What else should I do along with Cryotherapy?
Η κρυοθεραπεία θα πρέπει να χρησιμοποιείται συμπληρωματικά με υγιεινή διατροφή και συχνή άσκηση. Εάν δεν ασκείστε και δεν τρέφεστε σωστά μαζί με τις τακτικές συνεδρίες σας, δεν πρόκειται να δείτε τα εντυπωσιακά αποτελέσματα που θα μπορούσατε. Κατά την συνεδρία, οι χαμηλές θερμοκρασίες προκαλούν την απελευθέρωση ενδορφινών χαρίζοντας σας μία αίσθηση φρεσκάδας και αναζωογόνησης. Οι ενδορφίνες, σας βοηθούν να αυξήσετε την ένταση της σωματικής σας άσκησης ενώ επιταχύνουν και την αποκατάσταση από το μυϊκό πιάσιμο. Η διαδικασία θα πρέπει να επαναλαμβάνεται τακτικά προκειμένου να δείτε αποτελέσματα πολύ ταχύτερα. Εκτός από την απώλεια βάρους, η κρυοθεραπεία συμβάλλει και στην αποκατάσταση. Αυτό σας επιτρέπει να προπονείστε πιο έντονα και πιο συχνά. Στα πλαίσια μελέτης που δημοσιεύτηκε στο «Journal of Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy» 9 αθλητές εκτέλεσαν 3 συνολικούς ποδηλατικούς κύκλους και υποβλήθηκαν σε διαφορετικές μεθόδους αποκατάστασης μεταξύ αυτών. Οι μέθοδοι αυτοί ήταν ενεργή αποκατάσταση, ξεκούραση και κρυοθεραπεία. Μετά την δοκιμή, όλοι οι συμμετέχοντες δήλωσαν ότι ο κύκλος μετά την κρυοθεραπεία ήταν ευκολότερος από τους άλλους δύο και ότι αισθάνονταν καλύτερα τα κάτω άκρα τους. Αυτή η καλύτερη αίσθηση των κάτω άκρων μετά την κρυοθεραπεία επιτρέπει στους αθλητές να προπονούνται πιο σκληρά.
