Saunas have played a major role in the health of civilizations for centuries. They are best known for their detoxifying properties for the skin, body, and stress relief. However, with the rise of the health trend, an interesting question has arisen; can a sauna really help you lose weight? As people explore new ways to achieve their fitness goals, it’s worth understanding what saunas can and can’t do when it comes to weight loss.
To achieve your overall health goals, you shouldn’t just focus on losing fat. It’s important to focus on your overall well-being, and proper health management involves a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress relief. Saunas can help with these by increasing circulation, decreasing muscle tension, and even improving your mental health. While a sauna session may seem like a break from your workout, it can also help with recovery by providing muscle relaxation and clearing your airways, just the right amount of airway clearance to perform better in future workouts.
So, can a sauna actually help you lose weight? The short answer is yes—with some restrictions. Saunas generally promote weight reduction by sweating, which allows the body to shed water weight momentarily. During a typical 40-minute sauna session, you can lose roughly 0.5 to 1.0 kilos (1 to 2 pounds). However, this is primarily water weight, which will return as you rehydrate.
Dr. Young, adds that while saunas raise your heart rate, similar to a modest activity, the calorie burn is low. For real weight loss to occur, regular exercise and dieting are required.
If you want to improve your health routine with the added benefits of a sauna, buying a high-quality sauna from BW Sauna Co. may be the best option. BW Sauna offers attractively built saunas that combine modern technology and traditional benefits for the ultimate relaxing experience.
