Far infrared sauna and weight loss
Do far infrared sauna
and weight loss go hand in hand?
There are some
undeniable health benefits from using a far infrared sauna
that include improved circulation, cleansing (by sweating),
energy enhancement, and arthritis pain relief - But can
using a far infrared sauna help you lose weight?
Manufacturers of far
infrared saunas claim that using a far infrared sauna is the
only way to burn calories without exercise. In fact, a
single session in a far infrared sauna consisting of 20-40
minutes has been said to burn 200-500 calories! You would
need to run several miles to burn this amount of calories.
The logic behind this is that in order for you to produce
one gram of sweat, 0.568 Kcal is required. Most sauna users
will easily produce 500 grams of sweat during a sauna
session. This equates to 300 Kcal.
I have not found a far
infrared sauna manufacturer yet that claims far infrared is
your magic key to weight loss. But they all agree that it
can be a valuable tool in your weight loss arsenal.
Immediate weight loss will come from sweating but should be
replaced by drinking pure water. It is never good to
dehydrate yourself.
Of course you need to
check with your doctor before using a sauna.
Far infrared sauna and
weight loss is not that far of a stretch. Consider adding a
far infrared sauna to your exercise and healthy eating
routine.
I wish for you the best
of health!
