    One of the many topics explored regarding saunas, and one of the top questions asked relating to saunas, is whether or not saunas can actually help somebody to lose weight. Every person’s physiology is different, and that means that not everyone will react the same way to regular sauna use, however many studies have shown that it can help you lose weight when you use it on a regular basis.

    The heat from your sauna is bound to make you break a sweat! As you sweat, you burn calories. When you’re burning a good amount of calories from sweating during your daily sauna session, overtime you’ll notice that you can lose weight. Most of the weight you’ll lose from the help of your sauna is extra water weight in your body. When you are losing water weight and increasing the amount that you sweat, you are releasing heavy metals and additional toxins from your body that can interfere with your metabolism. The release of these toxins allows your metabolism to function properly, and can even give your metabolism a good boost!

    When you have a sauna session and your body temperature increases, your heart works harder to pump your blood. When your blood is being pumped harder, your blood vessels expand and your blood pressure has a tendency to go down. As your heart beats faster it works to burn more calories, increasing the amount of weight you are losing.

    If you’re, unfortunately, recovering from an injury, using a sauna on a daily basis is a great healing mechanism. The heat from your sauna is known to help repair the wear and tear on your muscles that can come with working out or a lot of physical activity. Saunas are a great tool to  assist in speeding up your recovery so that you can get back to your activities and exercises. In the meantime you can take advantage of using your sauna to help you sweat, burn calories, and increase you metabolism. After consulting your doctor and receiving an okay, you can practice minor stretches in your sauna to increase how much you are sweating and give your metabolism the extra boost it needs to increase your weight loss.

    If you’re not injured and still looking to lose a little extra weight with the help of your sauna then definitely stretch! Stretching is a low-impact form of exercising that can also help to get your heart pumping, your blood pressure decreasing, and the calories burning!

    Here are just a few more tips to help you lost weight with your sauna:

    • Drink water before, during and after your sauna session – staying hydrated helps to release those toxins!
    • Fill your life with healthy habits! --- Healthy food, water, and a good sweat session work well together; give your body some good nutrition to help release extra toxins and metals.
    • Use your sauna daily --- To see the best results you’ll want to use your sauna for fifteen to twenty minutes on a regular basis.
