Help Build Your Immune System with
Floating

s COVID-19 continues to spread around the world, it’s more important now than ever to make certain your immune system is at its peak. There’s one particularly beneficial thing you can do to boost your immune system – floating! Here are just some of the many benefits of floatation therapy. Magnesium keeps the immune system strong, helps strengthen muscles and bones, and supports many body functions from cardiac functions to brain functions. Magnesium is the second-most-abundant element in human cells and the fourth-most-important positively charged ion in the body, so it is little wonder this low-profile mineral is so vital to good health and well-being. Magnesium, a major component of Epsom Salt, helps to regulate the activity of more than 325 enzymes and performs a vital role in orchestrating many bodily functions, from muscle control and electrical impulses to energy production and the elimination of harmful toxins and viruses. Magnesium levels have dropped by half in the last century due to changes in agriculture and diet. Industrial farming has depleted magnesium from soil and the typical diet contains much less magnesium than that of our forefathers. Fifty-sev-
en percent of the US population does not meet the US Recommended Dietary Allowance for dietary intake of magnesium. When using a Float Pod, magnesium is absorbed through the skin (your largest organ) due to natural molecular diffusion. The body optimizes the levels of magnesium, so there is no overload effect from floating in the salts for extended periods. While increasing your magnesium levels, Epsom Salt also delivers sulphates which are extremely difficult to get through food, but which readily absorb through the skin. Float Pods are cleaner than your home! Every second, water is going through Ultra-Violet, Bromine Filter, Ozonenator, Two Industrial Filters and 1,000 pounds of salt to 300 gallons of water. Nothing grows in this concentration of salt to water mixture. When you float, you are completely isolated in your Sanitary Float Room. Floating helps decrease cortisol levels; a hormone released in the bloodstream during stressful situations. Many studies have proven that floating regularly can reduce cortisol levels and decrease blood pressure, as well as improve overall mood. •
