Can sauna lose weight?
You can't.

Sauna has little to do with losing weight. The so-called weight loss mainly refers to the weight loss after burning subcutaneous fat through exercise. Sauna will make you sweat, but sweating is mainly caused by water loss in the body, so it can't achieve the real weight loss effect.

Sauna can lose weight, but it can't achieve the real weight loss effect. If you want to lose weight by sauna, it will take a long time, and you must also cooperate with hunger and exercise. I really lost weight after the sauna. Remember to lose water instead of fat. Exercise to lose weight: anaerobic exercise When people do strenuous exercise for a short time, the human body is in a state of temporary hypoxia, and a large amount of sugar in the body is decomposed to generate energy for muscles. So anaerobic exercise does not consume fat. Aerobic exercise When people do endurance exercise for a long time, the heat provided by sugar in the body is far from meeting the needs. By increasing the supply of oxygen, the fat in the body is oxidized and decomposed, and heat energy is generated for human use.

Some people think that steaming sauna can drain a lot of sweat and lose a lot of weight after steaming, so it is inferred that steaming sauna can reduce the monthly bar. In fact, this understanding is a big mistake, not only will it not lose weight, but it will be very harmful to health. After the sauna, you will lose weight because of the loss of water in your body, and you can't fundamentally achieve the goal of losing weight. Because losing weight depends on reducing fat rather than water, and obesity is due to excess calories in the diet, which is stored under the skin to form fat, not because of too much water.

If there is excessive water shortage in the body, it will dehydrate and lead to shock. Besides, frequent sauna may do a lot of harm to our health. Because the water in our body is relatively constant, if there is more water in our body, it will be excreted; If there is less water in the body, it will be thirsty and restless, which will cause physiological dysfunction of the body. Therefore, the sweating caused by sauna bath is not only unrelated to the burning of body fat, but also has adverse effects on the body. Therefore, it is not advisable to rely on sauna bath to achieve the purpose of losing weight.

Sauna helps to promote human blood circulation, promote the discharge of waste in the body, and relax nervous nerves. It is a good "leisure" way. From this perspective, it is still of positive significance. Just don't "expand" its functions.
