When sweating your body is getting rid of unwanted materials such as salt, minerals, drugs and other toxins. It is also taking some of the stress off of the liver and kidneys, both organs used to purify the blood.
Saunas obviously cause your temperature to go up and increase your heart rate as well. By raising your temperature, your body thinks it has a fever so your immune system will start working. You can shorten the duration of illnesses by doing this because your immune system is in overdrive. Also, when your heart rate goes up, you are burning more calories, hence helping with weight loss.
It is for all of these reasons that I started using a sauna and will continue to do so throughout the course of this year and beyond.
