Benefits of a Sauna Experience

A sauna is a small room that is heated to between 60-90*C. The purpose of the sauna is to heat up the body, the same way that your body would if you had a fever, helping your body heal itself! Heat decreases pain signals that reach your brain, reducing any pain or discomfort and increases the flow of oxygen to muscles helping heal damaged tissues. Heat also allows your body to sweat out any toxins that have built up in the body. Saunas are also face-friendly, they assist in relaxing face muscles, aid in clearer complexion, and help remove dirt and oil. One sauna session increases the amount of oxygen and nutrients delivered to your organs, especially your skin!

Group Exercise Classes Give You More Motivation

Should other people be part of your exercise routines? That’s largely a matter of personal preference, but exercising with a companion or in a group, whether at yoga or dance classes, or small group personal training sessions, has many upsides. That’s because people tend to stick more faithfully with group exercise classes than with solo fitness routines. “A bit of gentle peer pressure and friendly competition can go a long way when it comes to motivation,” says Dr. Dawn Skelton, a professor of aging and health at Glasgow Caledonian University in Scotland. Even informal arrangements between friends have the advantage of making you accountable to somebody other than yourself. Learn about more benefits to group fitness at ProActiveFit.ca

Rheumatoid Arthritis & Oral Health

Rheumatoid arthritis can sometimes lead to other health complications, including oral conditions such as: 1) Oral infections – including bacterial and fungal infections. 2) Gingivitis – a mild form of gum disease that can cause swollen and tender gums. 3) Temporomandibular joint issues – causing pain when opening and closing your mouth. 4) Periodontitis – affects the bone and tissue supporting the teeth. 5) Sjögren’s syndrome – condition affecting the salivary glands that can lead to oral dryness and tooth decay. By seeing your dentist regularly and keeping up with your oral health through daily brushing and flossing, these conditions may be avoided or improved.
