Feeling Chilly? Warm Up At These Hudson Valley Saunas
We have reached one of the coldest months in the Hudson Valley. While some residents are enjoying the outdoor winter activities, others are counting down the days until spring or their next tropical vacation.
Hudson Valley residents were curious as to how they could lower their heating bills with the latest announcement from Central Hudson Electric. There are also ways that residents can lower their heating bills without turning on the heat.
While we work through the last few weeks of cabin fever, we can find warmth in the cooler months. There are places in the Hudson Valley to warm up, relax and unwind.
I have openly shared ways that I cope with seasonal depression. Red light therapy can help those who are experiencing that. Being in a sauna can help in many ways when combating the winter blues as well.
Why Are Saunas So Popular?
For the most part, I believe that people enjoy how being in a sauna can make them feel. For me, I enjoy the humid weather so when I feel the air when I walk in, it relaxes me. Infrared saunas are known for making people feel better who have a difficult time during the winter months.
It can improve blood circulation and promote relaxation throughout the body. Those who are sauna fans claim that it does boost their mood and endorphins while promoting peace in their lives.
