Can sauna help you lose weight? Helps sweat more than weight loss

I want to lose weight, but the laziness in my heart is at work. I often can't keep running after a few days. Taking a sauna is also an activity that stimulates the body to sweat, just like exercising until you are sweating all over. Therefore, many people think that taking a sauna can help lose weight. But in fact, there is a difference between exercise and sauna. A sauna can only help sweat at most, and fat burning can only be achieved through aerobic exercise.

Taking a sauna helps stimulate the body's sweating and metabolism, but it is not as effective as exercise in reducing fat and losing weight. (picture/)

According to the American health information website "Live Strong", saunas, which can be found in sports centers or SPA facilities, can help people who sweat less easily and have poor metabolism to excrete toxins and waste accumulated in the body. However, what is lost after a sauna is only water weight. As soon as you replenish water, the weight will immediately return to normal. Therefore, unless there is a special need, such as an athlete who wants to lose weight in a short period of time, they can use a sauna to lose weight quickly. Otherwise, it is not very useful for people who really need to lose weight.

Only promoting sweating and fat burning is not very effective

Sauna alone cannot replace the aerobic exercise needed for weight loss, because it consumes water in the body. To burn fat, you still need to rely on aerobic exercise. However, if you can occasionally take a sauna bath to promote sweating during the weight loss process, it will still have a very good bonus effect on weight loss; especially for those who have edema problems or are bloated, taking a sauna bath can help the overall body shape and complexion look better.

When soaking in a hot pool, you can use the water to hit the "Sanyinjiao point" on your calf (located in the center of the inner ankle bone, about 3 fingers upward) to maintain the female uterus and nourish the liver and kidneys, and the "Yongquan point" on the sole of the foot (the muscle that concave inward when the toes are bent) to help improve cold hands and feet.

Patients with chronic diseases should not stay in bed for long

Basically, there are no special age restrictions or serious side effects for using a sauna. However, because high temperature environment will accelerate blood circulation, people with chronic diseases such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, or the elderly should pay special attention when using a sauna. They should rest after about 10 to 15 minutes, and alternate between hot and cold temperatures gradually, starting from the limbs farthest from the heart to avoid overloading the heart.
