Sauna Weight Loss
Sauna’s cardiovascular benefits are like a cardio workout.
A 2019 study compared participants’ cardiovascular effects in a sauna and on an exercise bike. The increase in heart rate was similar to a short, moderate workout. Researchers stated, “A sauna session is a physical strain. Its long-term positive effects are comparable to sports activities.” The focus was on the benefits to the heart and cardiovascular system, rather than weight loss or muscle development. We call it a “passive cardio workout.”
Release toxins and reduce inflammation.
Studies have shown that:
- Sauna therapy can release environmental toxins stored in fat tissues that can prevent weight loss.
- Heavy metals and fat-soluble chemicals like PCBs, PBBs and HCBs can trigger the body to protect itself, resulting in the immune system’s inflammatory response.
- Infrared sauna therapy heats the body at the cellular level, helping to detoxify the body and reduce inflammation.
