| 0:00.0 | Well, hello, hello, guys. You're listening to Beauty Bites with Dr. K., Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon, |
| 0:19.5 | and it's time for a five-minute Friday. |
| 0:22.0 | And I'm going to talk all about the benefits of infrared heat therapy. |
| 0:26.7 | I've been talking a lot about biohacking lately. |
| 0:29.1 | And the reason is because I'm getting older and I'm feeling like I want to do the things that are going to really make me live a healthier, longer life, and just bring more |
| 0:38.9 | wellness to my life. It's not just about beauty and external appearance. It's really about |
| 0:44.4 | how do you feel and how do you improve, you know, your longevity, your lifespan, and what |
| 0:49.6 | things can you do to just be a better human? So biohack the aging process. Infrared heat therapy has been one of the easiest things to incorporate. |
| 0:58.0 | I recently started using infrared heat blanket and you can either use a sauna. |
| 1:03.0 | If you're lucky enough to have a sauna in your home or in your spa, typically that operates at temperatures between like 120 to 140 degrees. |
| 1:12.3 | A typical sauna is hotter than that, 150 to 180. |
| 1:16.5 | So the infrared blankets are a little cooler, which is still totally fine. |
| 1:21.1 | It's hard to get to a sauna every day. |
| 1:23.4 | By the time work is over, by the time you get to the house, you go to the gym and all that, |
| 1:27.2 | I just don't have time for that. So I think it's been really nice to have it for a blanket at home. And the heat penetrates quite deeply. So definitely there's the detox benefit. When you're in the heat, you're going to be sweating. And when you're sweating, you're going to be getting rid of some toxins, some extra salt, and any kind of extra water weight that you've been carrying around. |
| 1:29.6 | So I love... getting rid of some toxins, some extra salt, and any kind of extra water weight that you've |
| 1:46.2 | been carrying around. So I love that aspect of it because I am a salty food person. I will always |
| 1:53.0 | go for the cheeses at night, always, the late night snack, and then I wake up puppy, so it's been |
| 1:57.9 | really good for getting rid of that extra salt that you carry. |
| 2:01.8 | When you're in a sauna or in a sauna blanket, you have better sleep. |
| 2:07.2 | You have full body relaxation, detoxification, a little bit of weight loss from sweating, |
| 2:12.9 | and definitely muscle relief. |
