In today's world, technology has become increasingly important for managing stress. With the advancements of modern technology, it is now possible to decrease stress and anxiety in various ways that can be done quickly and efficiently. Several technologies are available, from electric whole-body cryotherapy to red light therapy beds to help decrease stress levels.
Here are 6 ways the latest technology can help to reduce stress and stress-related conditions.
1. STIMULATE RELAXING ALPHA WAVES WITH REBALANCE IMPULSE (NEURO-RELAXATION)
Is a non-invasive mental wellness and neuro-relaxation machine designed for stimulation and cognitive training. Based on neurotechnology, it focuses on neuroscience with sound and visual stimulation that interacts with the nervous system. Combining this with neurofeedback and biofeedback provides greater insight into the nervous system, brain activity & positive effects that can help reduce stress, improve sleep and enhance vitality.
How it works – Sitting in a comfy zero gravity chair while using earphones for sound, neurofeedback headband to measure brainwaves in real time (does not emit waves of any kind) and wearing a biofeedback watch to monitor the heartrate variability (HRV). A gentle voice will guide you throughout the session. Each session is around 25minutes and all results are recorded via an app.
2. RELEASE OF ENDORPHINS WITH MECOTEC ELECTRIC WHOLE BODY CRYOTHERAPY
Whole-body cryotherapy is a process that uses an electric-powered cooling system to supply pure cold air safely and effectively. The cryo chambers stimulate a hormonal response and release of endorphins. By exposing the body to extreme cold temperatures for a brief period it can improve mental health, alleviates stress, improves sleeping patterns, increase energy, improved feelings of pleasure, promote overall well-being, also reducing any pain and discomfort.
How it works - The electric whole-body cryotherapy machine emits cold air from within a chamber that cools the body from head to toe. The cooling effect can alleviate stress by simply making you feel happier, resulting in a more positive mindset.
3. DECREASE STRESS HORMONES AIRPOD (OXYGEN THERAPY)
AirPod oxygen therapy is a revolutionary technology that uses a pressurised chamber to decrease stress by increasing oxygen absorption in the body.
How it works – combining Oxygen and Molecular Hydrogen (also known as Hydroxy) in a pressurised environment. Oxygen is dissolved in blood plasma, increasing oxygen concentration by 50% and stimulating ATP energy production to optimise and accelerate:
-
Every healing process in the body
-
Increases energy and stamina
-
Target free radicals & reduces oxidative stress
-
Improve sleep quality
-
Promotes relaxation and stress management
4. STIMULATE ENDORPHINS WITH SUNLIGHTEN INFRARED SAUNAS
Sunlighten infrared saunas use near-infrared light waves to decrease stress by stimulating endorphins in the brain which can help control stress hormones like cortisol. The therapy has been shown to have many health benefits, including reducing inflammation and aiding recovery after physical activity.
Endorphins are our natural pain relief hormones that are activated through infrared saunas. Once stimulated, endorphins produce a sense of well-being and, in turn, decrease anxiety which, left unchecked, could become depression.
How it works - Sunlighten infrared saunas use near-infrared light to decrease stress hormones in the body and offer a 'passive' workout for the heart. The experience helps to stimulate endorphins in the brain, which can reduce stress and promote relaxation.
5. INCREASE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM WITH ICETUBS (ICE BATHS)
Ice baths are filled with ice-cold water to reduce inflammation levels in the body caused by physical activity or stress. The decrease in temperature can help decrease pain and fatigue and stimulate cell repair to improve overall well-being.
How it works - Made famous by Wim Hoff, the Ice Man, an ice bath stimulates the sympathetic nervous system and can decrease cortisol levels in the body. The decrease in temperature also triggers your body to reduce inflammation and release endorphins, positively impacting stress levels.
6. STIMULATE THE PRODUCTION OF ATP WITH BODY BOOST BEDS
Red light therapy has become increasingly popular in recent years for its ability to decrease stress and promote relaxation. The body boost bed is a device that emits low-level red light waves known to reduce anxiety levels, inflammation, and increase energy levels by stimulating the mitochondria in cells.
We need healthy mitochondria to drive healthy cell function creating energy for renewal as part of our biological process.
How it works - Body boost beds use red light therapy to decrease stress hormones in the body by stimulating the production of energy via the mitochondria, which is essential for cell health and energy levels.
CONCLUSION
Technology is helping to decrease stress levels in many different ways. From cryotherapy to air oxygen therapy, there are many other technologies available that can reduce stress and help you relax. For those looking for a natural and safe way to decrease their stress levels, these technologies may be just the answer they need.
Using technology like cryotherapy and light therapies in your daily life can decrease the effects of stress on your body and mind. Whether you're looking for an immediate decrease in anxiety or long-term relaxation benefits, these technologies can provide a natural solution for decreasing stress hormones. Give them a try today.
