This blog article discusses weight loss, thyroid issues and the BioMat.
First of all, the literature with the BioMat suggests bio-mats can be helpful to lose weight. To feel the weight loss benefits with the BioMat, you need to sweat profusely. Sweating actually increases your metabolism and burns calories. Further, fat cells liquefy at 110°F, allowing the pores to purge fluid and toxins. Hydration throughout this process is key; the body will hold onto fluids and toxic waste if not enough water is being consumed.
As your body is eliminating waste, your digestive system is likely able to better assimilate the nutrients in foods. The body feels lighter after taking high-heat BioMat sessions. Doing this daily is beneficial for weight loss, preferably in the morning as this increases metabolism through the entire day. Set the BioMat temperature at 149°F to 158°F for 30 to 90 minutes. “Cocoon” the professional-size BioMat (laying on it) with a Mini BioMat (on top of your body) to lock in the heat.
Somewhat connected to weight loss is thyroid issues. Basically, there are two different types of thyroid issues – one is hypothyroidism and the other is hyperthyroidism.
Most of the customers who use the BioMat have hypothyroidism. This population typically experiences a slow metabolism and finds it very challenging to lose weight. Therefore, using the BioMat on a high temperature can increase the metabolic rate and help those with hypothyroidism feel better.
On the other hand, hyperthyroidism is much rarer. For this population, it is suggested not to use high bio-mat temperatures because they cannot withstand it. Use very low temperature or just negative ions (without any heat).
