September 21, 2007, Newsletter Issue #78: How Saunas Help Weight Control
Tip of the Week
One of the most common sauna benefits is weight control. Sweating away in a sauna after a hard workout may sound crazy, but doing helps the body burn a few extra calories, and helps the mind relax after strenuous exercise.
A sauna will heat your body and therefore raise your heartbeat and metabolism. When your metabolism is raised, your body burns calories quicker and more effectively. In a 20 minute sauna session, you can burn up to 300 calories – the same as a short jog or a long walk.
If weight control is a primary goal for you, consider a dry sauna, as it elevates your metabolism more than a wet sauna. You will burn calories quicker and in a shorter amount of time using a dry sauna.
