So my dad's going to buy a sauna, I have some questions?

Question

Okay, so yea. Saunas.. I'm only 15 and I always remembered how saunas used to be hella hot and I didn't enjoy it. But now that school is killing me and I'm older I'm sure thats going to change.

I just realized how awesome it sounds.. apparently it helps you feel more relaxed and stronger and it even helps your skin become smoother and all these great things. Even losing weight.

I mean, I don't want this only for like losing weight or any of the others, but I was wondering.. is it great as it sounds? do you really lose weight and get nice skin and feel better after a hard day?

Thanks;

Answer 1

What kind of sauna is your dad buying?  There is the traditional sauna that is very hot or the more recent type of sauna that is very popular, the infrared sauna.

I have the infrared sauna and it's amazing.  I never liked the other steam saunas, too hot for me, but this is amazing and yes, it's great for weight loss as well as other health benefits.

Gives you lots of energy too, you'll love it.

Answer 2

Elevated cardiovascular activity, together with perspiration, is nature’s way of cleansing the human body. You’ll relax as the sauna’s deep, penetrating heat soothes your aching muscles and releases built-up stress. Your skin is refreshed, your mind rejuvenated, your well-being enhanced.  Dry Sauna can release your body of metal toxins which are harmful to your body.

It can clear your sinuses and relieve any respiratory congestion.

Stress reliever and relaxation

Whether you choose to relax with family and friends or enjoy your solitude, your sauna provides mental and physical rejuvenation and an overall feeling of well being

Cardiovascular Improvement

Your body responds to the sauna’s dry heat by increasing blood circulation and perspiration, the same natural cooling mechanism used in exercise

Healthy Glow

Sauna bathing helps improve your skin tone by stimulating your epidermis, opening pores and increasing circulation near the skin surface. You gain that youthful, just-returned-from-vacation look.

Take Off The Weight and Keep It Off

Studies show that a person can burn 300 - 400 calories during a 20 to 30 minute sauna bath. That’s the equivalent of an aerobic exercise, such as jogging or rowing, for the same period. Plus, a sauna helps you maintain your weight loss.

Eliminate Harmful Toxins

Your sweat glands can eliminate a surprising amount of harmful toxins, including lead, mercury, zinc, nickel, and cadmium, flowing through your bloodstream.

Increase Your Resistance To Disease

By increasing your circulation and oxygen flow - together with improving your overall level of wellness - the dry heat helps your body strengthen its immune system required to fight colds, and infection.

Post-Exercise Relaxation

Sauna bathing assures higher circulation and more oxygen delivered to aching muscles, helping loosen up tight muscles for greater relaxation and faster recuperation.

Relief of Arthritic Pain

Doctors prefer a dry, warm climate for patients suffering from arthritic or stiff, painful joints. No need to move; your Almost Heaven sauna brings the climate to you!

Restful Sleep

The soothing effects of sauna bathing, followed by a cold shower, help promote A deep, restful sleep.

I find all these benefits to be true as we have a dry sauna in our house.
