Benefits Of Using A Sauna

Boost In Weight Loss

Research suggests that frequent sauna use often leads to a boost in weight loss! When a user first sits down in a sauna, their skin temperature rises to an average of 104 degrees Fahrenheit within a few minutes. This triggers profuse sweating, and most sauna users lose one pint of sweat during a session. The user's heart rate can increase by up to thirty percent! These changes promote the loss of body fat.

In a study conducted over sixteen weeks, subjects attended forty-five-minute sessions in an infrared sauna three times a week. Participants completed between twelve to forty-five sessions and the temperature of the sauna was set at 110 degrees Fahrenheit. At the conclusion of the study, researchers found that the participants who attended the most sauna sessions lost more body fat than those who attended fewer sessions! In fact, the most frequent sauna attendees lost four percent of their body fat. Interestingly, sauna users who had their sessions in the afternoons lost more body fat than participants who had their sessions in the mornings.
