" as you put it, but whenever I go swimming with my friend (we exercise together, running / swimming when our time allows) we always spend time in the sauna as well - and I feel refreshed and somehow more "sharp" after every time period spent in the sauna.If you know some finnish people, they're experts on the subject ![]() | ||

After all, it is fun to sweat and then relax afterwards. I liked it. ![]() | ||

Some sportsmen use sauna to lose weight fast when they temporarily need to reach a specific weight before a weighing (boxers, wrestlers etc.). However, the weightloss is not permanent since all you do is sweat heavily. | ||

one of the things where you feel really relaxed afterwards and still don't have any negative side effects. (like with weed, alcohol) take a cold shower afterwards and then chill in a deckchair - at best with a freshly pressed orange juice. that's mucho win. | ||

the only time it could be bad is if you are in an extremely hot sauna and/or you stay in there for more than 30 minutes in one sitting. | ||

The Finnish saunas are hardcore, the real deal. You shouldn't sit in one of those for more than several minutes. | ||

Also the heat puts some stress on your body in terms of heart beat and blood flow which is of course healthy. | ||

But at least it's something. The skin is not an important organ but it's the bodies largest one.
