Sauna and Weight Loss

Strictly speaking, what sauna helps you shed is the weight of body water. It is clear that sitting in such a heated environment can do a lot in eliciting more sweat than would be possible in a simple exercise session. When it comes down to body fat, your sauna session has no business with that. Instead, it causes your body to give up its weight of water, although if you intend to regain this water lost in the sauna you can easily do so. For this reason, some people hit the sauna when they need to feel trim for a short period, probably to enable them slip into one of their tight fitting clothes. For long-term weight loss, certain lifestyle changes must be made to sustain water loss in small amounts. However, there are other health benefits attached to the time you spend in a sauna. One of them is the fact that the heat creates a supercharged atmosphere in your interior and causes you to burn calories. Also, many people have attested to better sleep at night after each sauna routine. [3]
