During a POD session, the increase in your core body temperature is a key factor that leads to calorie loss. Here’s how it works:

1. Increased Metabolism: Raising the core body temperature can accelerate your metabolic rate. A higher metabolism means your body uses more energy, resulting in more calories burned during the session.
2. Heat Stress and Heart Rate: The heat exposure in the POD causes a form of stress on the body, similar to the stress experienced during moderate exercise. This stress increases heart rate, which also contributes to higher calorie expenditure.
3. Activation of Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs): This process requires energy, which uses up calories. The production of these proteins is increased in response to the heat, helping to repair damaged proteins and maintain cellular function, all of which require energy.
4. Thermoregulatory Processes: Your body works hard to cool itself down when exposed to heat. This process, involving sweating and increased blood circulation, also consumes a significant amount of energy.

Thus, while you’re lying relatively still inside the POD, your body is actively working to manage the increased heat stress, which in turn leads to a higher calorie burn. The calorie count provided at the end of your session is an estimate of the total energy your body expended to manage these physiological responses.

1. Infrared Heat: This therapy uses infrared lamps to deeply penetrate the skin, helping to increase circulation, relieve pain, and promote muscle relaxation. It aids in detoxification through sweating and can also support weight loss by increasing metabolism.
2. Chromotherapy: Different colors of light are used to correct imbalances in physical, emotional, or mental energy. Each color wavelength is associated with specific health benefits, such as calming, energizing, or mood-enhancing effects.
3. Aromatherapy: Essential oils are diffused within the pod to reduce stress, alleviate anxiety, and promote a sense of well-being.
4. Vibration Massage: This helps stimulate lymphatic drainage and improve blood flow, which enhances the detoxification process and helps in muscle recovery.

These combined therapies make Wellness Pods an effective tool for improving overall health, offering a relaxing escape that benefits both the body and mind.

ThermaRollers provide several key benefits designed to enhance physical wellness:

• Muscle Relaxation: They use heat to help relax tight muscles, which can reduce soreness and improve flexibility.
• Increased Blood Circulation: The rolling action combined with heat helps boost circulation, promoting faster recovery and overall health enhancement.
• Pain Relief: The heat therapy can significantly alleviate pain by penetrating deep into muscle tissues, soothing aches and reducing inflammation.

• Muscle Recovery: ThermaRollers facilitate muscle recovery by enhancing blood flow to tired or injured muscles, speeding up the healing process and reducing recovery time.
• Skin Health: The increased circulation and heat also benefit the skin by promoting collagen production, which can improve skin elasticity and firmness, and help in reducing the appearance of cellulite.

These combined effects make ThermaRollers an effective tool for those looking to enhance both their workout recovery and maintain healthy, youthful skin.
