It goes without saying that rapid cooling of the body's
surface causes blood vessels to constrict as the body goes into protection
mode, and then once out of the Whole Body CryoTherapy sauna the blood rushes
back to heat up those areas. No doubt this action increases metabolism. Now
then, with continued regular use of Whole Body CryoTherapy sauna sessions the
body will strengthen its immune system and blood delivery system. This will
elevate your body's long-term Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR).
Now then, why is an elevated BMR desirable? Well BMR is your
base daily calorie burn before you do much of anything, just existing without
workouts. If your base is 1500 calories, then you burn that amount
automatically. If you increase your BMR you burn more calories each day.
Certainly you will burn more calories warming your body up after a CryoTherapy
sauna session, but that is just one day. What about the rest of the year?
If you can raise your BMR you will burn more calories, you can
burn more calories by burning them more efficiently. Let's discuss that for a
minute. Increasing your BMR means you burn fat quicker, your body heals itself
faster, and you are more efficient with energy as you demand it from your body.
Increasing your BMR isn't difficult; you can do it through a selective diet and
high-intensity exercise, and/or get your system better at energy conversion and
direct that energy where you need it quickly. The latter is where Whole Body
CryoTherapy comes into play. It is interesting to note that a single 3-minute
session of Whole Body CryoTherapy will burn as many calories during and after
as a high-intensity anaerobic work out.
If you build more muscle in your body you will find it takes
more calories to sustain it. You can build muscle through intense work outs.
You can do harder workers with faster recovery times back-to-back when you use
Whole Alpha Male Dynamics Body CryoTherapy as part of your strategy. As your body replaces white
fat with brown fat, it will take more energy to keep your body warm, thus
you'll burn more calories in doing so. Suffice it to say there are many ways
Whole Body CryoTherapy will increase your BMR.
An interesting paper to read on this is; "The Influence
of whole body cryotherapy on the levels of some hormones in professional
footballers," by Ilona Korzonek-Szlacheta, Tomasz Wielkoszymski, Agata
Stanek, Elzbieta Świętochowska, Jacek Karpe, Aleksander Sieron. Endokrynologia
Polska 2007;58(1):27-33.
The conclusion of this research notes: "Whole body
cryotherapy leads to a significant decrease in serum T and E2, with no effect
on LH and DHEAS levels. As a results of cryotherapy, the T/E2 ratio was
significant increased. The changes observed are probably due to
cryotherapy-induced alternation in the blood supply to the skin and Alpha Male Dynamics subcutaneous tissue, as well as to modulation of the activity of aromatase
which is responsible for conversion of testosterone and androstendione to
estrogens."
It's getting harder and harder to deny that Whole Body
CryoTherapy is just a fitness fad, the results seem to speak for themselves,
which is why entire professional sports teams are now using it.
