How SweatHouz Can Help your Recovery Post July 4th
July 4th brings a day (or week) of celebration, summer cookouts, swimming, parades, fireworks, and loved ones, and for good reason! Many Americans take time away from work and other obligations to celebrate our independence and all it represents. Celebrating with friends and family is an important part of a healthy lifestyle; research suggests that
social and emotional health are two major components of overall wellness.
Fitting hints of wellness into your summer celebrations – or getting back into your routine after a vacation – is something we’re more than supportive of at SweatHouz. We’ve got four hot tips for you to consider:
01. Make SweatHouz Part of your Travel Plans:
With studios opening across the country, it’s easy to pop in for a sweat or cold plunge, even while you’re on vacation. We encourage you to bring a family member or friend to share the love, too. After all, most adults are more likely to start and stick with wellness routines and health behaviors if they have social support from family and friends. Take it from Shaun Nibert, Executive Director of New Store Openings, who is helping grow our footprint in Charleston, SC:
There is nothing better than starting your vacation at SweatHouz. Being in Charleston this summer, it's been amazing to see members' excitement when they realize they have somewhere to continue their routine on vacation. More and more of our members are realizing that infrared is not just a seasonal thing and finding ways to make their routine work while traveling.
02. Promote Skin Health:
If you’re a SweatHouz member, you already know how amazing our infrared saunas and redlight therapy can be for maintaining skin health – from anti-aging benefits to increasing collagen production.
If you’re spending time in the sun this summer, the American Academy of Dermatology Association recommends using water-resistant sunscreen (at least SPF 30) to help prevent sunburn and cancer from the sun’s harmful UV rays.
Our en-suite Vitamin-C showers may be a great way to restore moisture and rejuvenate the appearance of your skin after a vacation, too.
03. Stay Hydrated:
When we’re optimally hydrated, we’re more efficient and successful at almost every task. Replenishing the water and electrolytes lost during sweat from long days in the summer heat, or an infrared sauna sweat, is key to feeling and performing at your best. Stop by the front desk to purchase our featured hydration supplement LMNT, which can make rehydration more efficient – and tasty.
04. Detox and Reset your Wellness Intentions :
Sweat sessions in the infrared sauna promote detoxification. One 2021 study explains that using the sauna for the purposes of “purification, cleansing and healing is an ancient practice, observed for thousands of years across many cultures.”
Book time in our infrared saunas to try the healthy heat for yourself. Plus, our private suites offer the perfect physical and mental escape – allowing you time and space to refocus on your wellness goals. Many of our members utilize mediation techniques in the sauna and cold plunge.
