Government Public-Service Ad Features Sauna-Going Pig

Feb 04, 3930 | By Laura Landro

Can a woman and a pig chillaxing in a sauna convey the importance of cooking pork thoroughly? How about showing a shopper faced with a choice of a single dress in an empty mall as a way to convince patients they need to learn about multiple treatment options?

Two government agencies are using those scenarios as part of public-service ad campaigns — created with the pro bono help of the Ad Council — to get across important health messages to consumers.

The USDA earlier this week launched a series of TV and radio ads about safe food preparation in anticipation of peak summer barbecue season, when foodborne illness can be a special danger. And the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality today unveiled its own campaign to encourage patients to explore different treatment options after a diagnosis.

The USDAÂ’s plans for its foodborne illness awareness campaign were first reported in the WSJÂ’s June 14 Informed Patient column about a rise in cases of salmonella infections in the U.S.

Questions & Answers

Are traditional saunas or far infrared sauna better?

Apr 15, 2009 by mary k ♥
Are traditional sauna or far infrared sauna better?Which has more benefits and which do you prefer?
People who sell the infrared ones say they're better and pull out toxins better but ive always found the traditional saunas more relaxing
Thankyou
It's a personal preference issue.
The traditional saunas use heating methods that heat the whole room including the air. Some people love this because the warm feeling is more relaxing, but some people hate this because they can't get it too hot or it makes it hard to breathe.
With infrared saunas, the infrared heat actually penetrates the body and heats you from the inside as opposed to heating the air. That means that the air doesn't get so hot and you can actually get it hotter in there, which makes you sweat more (which is why they say it pulls out toxins better).

Some people like one and hate the other, some are the exact opposite, so it's really up to personal preference. I hope I helped!

Benefits of Traditional Sauna vs Infrared Sauna?

Mar 10, 2007 by Hayes
Could you help me list the benefits of Traditional Sauna and why we should not Infrared and stick to traditional?
Infrared heat has some distinct advantages over traditional steam heat saunas, however many steam sauna advocates feel that an infrared sauna does not provide the same relaxing and invigorating experience as steam for a steam sauna or steam shower. This is an issue of personal preference.

Infrared heaters warm the body in the same manner as natural sunlight. FIR heat therapy uses the wavelength of the visible and non-visible light spectrum of sunlight that heats the body normally.

Traditional steam saunas raise the temperature of the air to a very high level within the chamber to warm the body. Some people have difficulty breathing in this extremely warm air. FIR saunas work differently. Instead of heating the air within the enclosure, FIR saunas heat the body directly. The result is a lower power bill and deeper tissue penetration. In the FIR sauna, the body perspires and receives all of the healthy benefits but avoids the harmful and extremely hot air of a traditional steam sauna. FIR saunas are safe for all ages.

Traditional saunas are more likely to spread and cultivate bacteria in the humid air, therefore an infrared sauna creates a more sanitary environment. An Infrared Sauna will heat up in a shorter time period than a steam sauna because it can heat the skin directly and does not need to heat the air.
