For better health(?): The Wiimote/DS Far Infrared wrist strap

Wiimote Far Inrfared - Image 1Aside from Nintendo, it looks like even 3rd-party accessory manufacturers are cashing in on the Wii’s health benefits. Japan‘s Rakuten retailer has just sent out details on a Wiimote and Nintendo DS wrist strap made from bio-ceramics that, as advertised, will douse your wrist with far infrared rays.

From what we’re reading from some sources (i.e., health sites, shopping catalogs), far infrared energy promotes several health benefits, such as improved circulation, and increased white blood cell count.

This, in turn, could mean improved immune functions, and in the Wiimote’s case, a less likely chance you’ll sprain your wrist from playing too long.

We’re not too sure if this accessory really works (or is FDA-approved), but if you’re curious enough to test this new-age peripheral, it’s expected to launch in Japan on July 20, at a retail price of just Â¥ 740 (US$ 6.31).
