Perhaps you have not heard of heat shock proteins … the intention of this blog post is an educational article to help you learn more about heat shock proteins and the BioMat.
While we have heard about heat shock proteins (HSPs) for several years, we have recently learned more about them and we are realizing they have an important relationship to the BioMat.
First of all, when proteins are optimal in the body, they have:
- Three-dimensional shape
- Hold DNA “instructions,” and
- Are properly folded.
If proteins lose their three-dimensional integrity, the following can occur:
- Proper DNA instructions are lacking.
- Proteins mis-fold, which cause a cascade of negative health issues.
This is where heat shock proteins “come in” and can be very helpful! Heat shock proteins help regulate the proper folding of proteins. This is why HSPs show promise in either assisting with or helping prevent serious health challenges, including autoimmune disorders, as well as supporting the immune system. (An editorial note: this immune support during CoVid is so important.)
So, how do bio-mats help with heat shock proteins? Via far infrared heat/light, the thermo-therapeutic use of the BioMat stimulates heat shock proteins. Increased heat shock protein results help the body in several different ways:
- Enhance oxygen in the blood.
- Improve blood circulation.
- Inhibit certain inflammatory pathways.
- Improve cell resiliency, protecting against stress and/or injury. Also, if injured, muscle recovery is sped up.
- Reduce aging (perhaps both physical aging, as well as aging appearance).
- Increase immune support/response.
From the above information, you are understanding what a complex topic heat shock proteins are! The bottomline – heat shock proteins are just another benefit of using the BioMat for your overall health and well-being. Want to expand your knowledge of how the Richway BioMat can help you?
