Seven Healthy Habits to Help You Feel the Difference with TH7
New year, new you? Rebecca Jamieson Dwyer discovers how incorporating seven healthy habits into your life can work wonders when it comes to feeling like the best version of yourself.
Looking to get your spark back? Noosa’s TH7 is an elite wellness and recovery centre offering a range of rejuvenating, science-backed protocols to help everyone “feel better, recover faster and live younger”.
Here are seven healthy equipment to help you get on track to ultimate wellness…
1. Contrast Therapy Pools
There’s nothing like plunging into icy cold water to make you feel alive! With an ice pool, cold pool and hot pool conveniently located in one beautiful location, TH7 makes contrast therapy a breeze – complete with expert staff to guide you through the process. Go solo or try it with friends after work as an alternative way to socialise, and start reaping the benefits, including increased mental clarity, elevated endorphins, reduced inflammation and accelerated muscle recovery.
2. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Chamber
The HBOT chamber is a seat with a difference – you sit upright and can work on your laptop, watch a movie, listen to music or even just relax and meditate while the air pressure gently increases to the equivalent of being 12 feet below sea level. This allows an increase in oxygen levels in your blood plasma by up to 50%, reducing inflammation and improving cognitive function. Being under pressure never felt so good.
3. Steam Room
Embraced by the ancient Greeks and Romans, the benefits of steam rooms have been harnessed by humans for thousands of years. Relaxing in a steam room has been proven to enhance recovery, reduce joint pain and help relieve stress. It’s the only kind of extreme humidity you’ll enjoy!
4. Traditional Sauna
A long-term study of 2,300 middle-aged men conducted by the University of Eastern Finland revealed 2-3 sauna sessions per week reduced the risk of cardiovascular disease by 28% and lowered the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease by 65%.
Regular sauna use can make you feel more relaxed, which has positive flow-on effects in other areas of your life. It’s time to turn up the heat!
5. Infrared Sauna
Infrared saunas use gentle, invisible light waves that heat the body from within.
This unique heating method helps to penetrate deeply, reaching 4-5 centimetres below the skin’s surface, which allows for a gentle sweat session at a comfortable, lower temperature. This process not only feels soothing, but has been shown to relieve muscle pain, improve mobility and promote relaxation.
6. Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy is a gentle, heat-free treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to energise tired cells and stimulate cellular energy production and natural healing processes in the body – leading to increased circulation, enhanced cellular energy production, an increased rate and quality of tissue repair, and reduced oxidative stress (which accelerates the ageing process). Pop on the supplied goggles, lie down on the bed and let there be light!
7. Compression Therapy
This one’s for all the athletes out there – say goodbye to sore legs and speed up your recovery with Compression Therapy!
Special ‘boots’ that cover the leg all the way up to the thigh mimic muscular contractions to assist in the movement of lymph fluid throughout the body – basically, you can sit down, relax and even watch a bit of TV while the boots do the hard work of boosting circulation and flushing out lactic acid. You deserve it!
