Benefits of a Sauna and Sweating

Some people think of a sauna as a torture chamber. Nothing could be further from the truth. Even though it gets how and you sweat a lot, it is a great experience.

Benefits

When it comes to trying to enumerate the benefits of having or taking a sauna I find it is not all that easy to decide on the order of importance and/or which ones to include and which ones to leave out.

So, here we will examine some, but certainly not all of the benefits of the sauna. One thing I have yet to understand is why some refer to it as taking a sauna and others refer to having a sauna. So for our purposes here we will assume that you have and take a sauna.

Sweating

Even though sweating can be an uncomfortable experience when fully dressed and trying to look cool, there are times when sweating is right down good for you. We have all seen people at the gym work up a sweat quite easily and quickly. Obviously sweating is associated with working out and either getting fit or maintaining a degree of fitness.

In the sauna one certainly should sweat and sweat and sweat. It is part of the treatment and part of the pleasure as well as essential for the complete experience. Sweating does several things. I am not an expert in this area but will merely report my personal findings about sweating.

One of the most obvious and immediate things is that it opens the pores and out pores the black stuff that mere soap and water cannot reach or move. Consequently after a sweaty sauna one does feel incredibly clean and purified. The only bit of warning is to be careful not to scratch because the black bits under the fingernails is truly not a good look. However sweating and opening the pores is very good for you. When you go out to the plunge pool and cool down the pores close again, but another sweat and you will find that there is even more stuff that will roll out. So sweating will give you this feeling of extreme cleanliness.

Of course sweat is water and the more you sweat the less you will weigh immediately afterwards. However because it is water the minute you have the lager or glass of water most of the lost weight will come back.

I know that jockeys go to the sauna and have an extreme sweat just before weighing in if they are on the borderline of being too heavy to qualify for the day's ride. However unless you are a jockey sweating is really not a very satisfactory way of losing weight.

The Heart

One of the lesser publicized treats of the sauna is what it can do for your heart. After all your heart is only a muscle and as such needs exercising in order to function at its maximum.

When you have your sauna as you heat up your heart will beat faster. Of course there is a limit as to how far you want to take this particular benefit of the sauna, but when you work out at the gym you are intent on getting your heart rate up so that your cardiac fitness is maintained. Well a sauna can do much the same thing. As you heat up you will feel your heart's tempo increase. Certainly you should not overdo it, but exercising the heart by having it beat considerably faster, cooling down and getting it back to normal and then going back in and having another go will only strengthen your heart muscles and make you a much fitter and happier person.

Conclusion

There are many other benefits that can be derived from a good sauna bath. Another time I will look at some more of them. In the meantime go have a sauna, enjoy yourself, and have that great feeling that you are benefiting from all that torture.
