good for detoxing if needed and you can’t temporarily put in the proof of work to sweat out the past, but, if you can, then proof of work should take you to levels of sufficient perspiration where there is a maximum amount of water/mineral loss you’d ideally wouldn’t want to surpass without su...

Overhyped, unless you really enjoy it (mental belief effects)

Legit. IMHO, they're better with a cold plunge (or cold shower) just after.

Saunas and bidets have been criminally underrated in the west for decades.

It’s amazing. That feeling after sauna when you are just relaxing, your heart is beating and you feel your whole body. That can’t be hyped.

I just saw a clip about how you shouldn't sweat longer than 10 min in a sauna, and you should wipe sweat with a towel right away. your body will reabsorb the sweated out toxins if you don't

Legit.. 1. Detox from all the sweating from your body. 2. Elevated temp , has some thermogenetic effect 3. Studies have shown potential increase in HGH levels 4. The controlled deeper breathing Sauna a few times a week is 👌

No, it's essential. If it's your sauna, add heat lamps or quartz tube heaters to it for near-IR.

I believe far infrared is the way to go. I don’t have a sauna - so a bit of an expert.

it’s good. forces ur cells to rehydrate, cycling water, jump starting metabolic function. add stretching after the muscles and it will change ur life over time

I believe it’s healthy if not overdoing

I do 15min sauna then 3min+ cold plunge (5-10degrees celsius) right after. Repeating 3times per session. Doing once or twice a week. That just feels right for me.

It’s a lot of hot air letting off steam J

Add a cold plunge between saunas to increase awesomeness. I came for the sauna but stayed for the cold plunge.

The University of Oulu in Finland does science on sauna use. Also https://www.foundmyfitness.com/topics/sauna is a nice resource!

Well, it probably sweats out toxins, but you need to keep hydrated
noobslayer69 · 48w
it's not just about the body of self, there's a community aspect as well. gathering together to sweat it out physical and collectively. https://m.primal.net/PjIl.jpg

i don't know . maybe it is overhyped . i think once in a month would be good .i know a friend who like to do it , 3 time in a week in the winter time ,not summer . also after sauna , need to put a lot of moisturizer on skins as it make your skins dry .

Legit, but need at least 20min over 170 degrees for full benefit. Also, cold plunge is great for starting day. Sauna end of day.

what is your intention? that's what will determine if it's of benefit.

Dear Jack, sauna is recommended only for a limited range of people but NOT for you. I am doing advanced work in DNA digitization and I can chart your personal hydration, nutrition, skin care, inhalation, environment and some other things too. I will need your exact birth time, though. Thank you for ...

Cold and heat exposures are beneficial for humans in times like today where we have controlled environments (AC/heat anywhere we go) providing comfort. Lots of studies cite the benefits of 60-120mins a week of heat exposure (~160+ F) and 5-15mins of cold exposure (<55F plunge for example). Huberman ...

I’ve enjoyed the sauna plus cold plunge combo. Some good research there. For me the impact is probably more from the cold plunge but the sauna gets me ready for it.

1) Anything in excess is bad. 2) A Sauna is probably killing a lot of your skin cells. This means your body is working overtime to re grow the cells. This is a path to skin cancer.

I'm setting up my first hot tub and plan on getting a sauna in the next few years. My girlfriend shared this video with me a few days ago. Data shows immense health benefits, particular cardiovascular health. https://youtu.be/RWkv9ad7zvc

Hell yeah. And follow that with a cold plunge, Nordic style.

I live in Vegas. I just step outside for 15-30min to experience the benefits, then take a cold shower for my cold plunge. Enjoy.
