How many calories can I burn? The amount of calories that anyone burns in a SpaBeca Far Infrared Thermo Wrap depends on many factors. FIR immersion that raises your body temperature increases your metabolism (Mobbs & Hof, 2010), which also contributes to loss of weight (Trudeau, 2007). The time spent in FIR immersion, and the amounts of FIR energy being absorbed are each significant factors that help to determine the amount of calories burnt (Antila, 2006; Somers, 2001). Since SpaBeca Far Infrared Thermo Wrap has a built in 25% greater FIR energy saturation versus a sauna, due to the absence of an air gap between you and its heaters, it is able to heat you more effectively than Infrared Saunas can. One pound of fat in a human body is equivalent to 3500 stored calories (i.e. “Kcals” in strict scientific terminology). Human beings lose calories through physical activities and exercise. In the process, the human body sweats to keep cool (Ciccolella, 1972). Bearing this in mind, it would at first appear to follow that there is a simple direct relationship between how many times one uses a SpaBeca Far Infrared Thermo Wrap and the amount of weight that one loses. However, the amount you sweat raises your metabolism and lost weight will be determined by several additional factors beyond time and repetition, including without limitation: a) Your diet between sessions. b) Your exercise status between uses. c) Your hydration status when using SpaBeca FIR Thermo Wrap (i.e. drinking water before using the wrap and remaining hydrated while in it too). d) How heat conditioned you are. e) How high you set the temperature in the 4 heat zones of the SpaBeca FIR Thermo Wrap. f) Your use of the disposable Fit Coat while in the Fit Bodywrap with its unique infrared reflective layer recycling the heat from your body right back into you. g) The amount of infrared syphoned off via resonant absorption during initial and subsequent sessions so that each of your cells, tissues and organs needing more energy to: run at high efficiency, finish regeneration and repair cycles previously put on hold and handle environmental pollution, can become saturated enough to allow infrared to pass all the way to your core and raise its temperature. The weight lost via sweating initially is equal to the amount of water and dissolved other substances that the individual’s body loses (Agatston 2003), and the calories needed to pump the sweat as discussed above. The fat and cholesterol, acids and toxins making up 15-20% of your sweat volume in the SpaBeca FIR Thermo Wrap are not replaced during rehydration. The stored calories obtained from fat that have been used to pump the sweat are also not restored via rehydrating. Marion pointed out that immersive FIR therapy can stimulate losing weight in two additional ways (Trudeau, 2007): 1) The reduction of heavy metals: these having fostered metabolic imbalances and poor digestion that had led to weight gain (Agatston, 2003; Mobbs & Hof, 2010). 2) FIR immersion generated perspiration sends more blood to capillaries that fosters extra conversion of carbohydrates, and fats into energy used by the body and thus the burning of additional calories (Trudeau, 2007). Get HEAT CONDITIONED with SpaBeca’s Far Infrared Thermo Wrap and Burn more calories while sweating. Sweating is a calorie consuming process, (Widmaier, Raff, Strang & Vander, 2011). In Guytons Textbook of Medical Physiology we find that producing one gram of sweat requires 0.586 kcal (stored calories). In the American Medical Association’s Journal, JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association August 7, 1981) we find that, A moderately conditioned person can easily sweat off 500 grams, in a [less efficient hot air] sauna, consuming nearly 300 kcal - the equivalent of running 2-3 miles. A heat-conditioned person can easily sweat off 600-800 kcal with no adverse effects.” While the weight of the water lost will be regained by rehydration, neither the calories consumed to make the sweet nor the solid waste expelled will be.
