Oh, this heart of ours, which beats and beats and constantly sends vital energy through our veins. However, how many times do we really wonder how is he doing? Is he comfortable, happy, healthy? Too few times, probably.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ugly enemy, chronic stress, has affected nearly everyone due to fast pace of modern life. Which contributes to many cardiovascular problems, including hypertension and heart attacks.<\/span><\/p>\n

We all want a strong, healthy, capable heart, both literally and metaphorically. There are many things we can do for him, and one of them is regular floating.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why does floating suit our heart?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

While our brain is processing information, it sends signals to the body via the nervous system, which inform the latter to what extent it should stimulate or release certain functions. A prolonged period of stress raises the level of cortisol, which, based on studies, increases bad cholesterol, triglycerides, blood sugar and blood pressure. Our body’s response to stress is intended to protect us, but if we are under constant pressure, it can soon become dangerous.<\/span><\/p>\n

While floating in salt water, with the temperature of your skin, you will quickly drift into a state similar to the state before you fall asleep. A state of deep relaxation has an intense relaxing effect on our heart.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Floating has a positive effect on heart health by influencing heart rate variability, or HRV (heart rate variability), which measures the variation in time between each heartbeat. Our HRV is autonomously controlled by the oldest part of our nervous system, known as the ANS – the autonomic nervous system, which in the background constantly regulates heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and digestion.<\/span><\/p>\n

High blood pressure increases the chances of cardiovascular disease, so good blood circulation is important for cardiovascular health, as it ensures efficient delivery of oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. The warmth of the salt water stimulates the dilation of blood vessels, which improves general circulation.<\/span><\/p>\n

The peaceful environment in our floating tanks helps the body shift from a sympathetic state (induced by stress) to a parasympathetic state, which is responsible for relaxation and healing. The sympathetic prepares us for physical effort (fight or flight), while the parasympathetic prepares us for rest. In a body that is not under stress, the parasympathetic is dominant at rest state.<\/span><\/p>\n

The latest researches show that floating can have a positive effect on HRV, which means a more resilient and flexible cardiovascular system. By incorporating floating therapy into our routine, our heart will not only be stronger, but also more adaptable to the challenges it faces.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Epsom salt<\/b><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Epsom salt or magnesium sulfate is dilluted in the water, which allows you to defy gravity, while at the same time magnesium is absorbed through the skin. As a society, we consume only 50% of the recommended daily intake of magnesium, which is the only mineral necessary for many body functions. Among other things, also the functions of the heart, which needs a good interaction of calcium and magnesium so that the muscle can contract and relax. Magnesium is such an important factor for a healthy and strong heartbeat.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

For those of us who have already experienced the positive effects of floating, it is clear that we feel them in all aspects of our well-being, including our heart health. But, as always, this is something that you will research for yourself and perhaps find the answer to the most important question: <\/span> “Is floating for me?”.<\/span>
Because for me it definitely is.<\/span><\/p>\n

So if you want to be sweet to your heart, visit us and let your heart beat together with ours.<\/span><\/p>\n

I heartily recommend,<\/span><\/p>\n
