Sauna
The sauna has been a popular healing process for centuries. From relaxation, through restoration after a heavy physical load, to cleansing the body – the benefits of sweating are proven by a number of medical tests:
- In the sauna, the heat relaxes the muscles, supports the blood circulation, which enhances the body’s ability to recover and stimulates the production of the hormone of happiness – endorphin. Endorphin reduces the pains in the muscles and joints caused by diseases such as arthritis or heavier training.
- Sauna is one of the best ways to detoxify the body. After sport IT relaxes the muscles and thus reduces the levels of different chemical toxins that the body absorbs in its interaction with the environment.
- The sauna cleans the skin. Excessive sweating cleans dead cells and helps remove acne and other skin diseases.
- The sauna burns calories and trains the heart. The body consumes calories through increased heart activity when using the sauna. The pulse accelerates from an average of 60-70 beats per minute to 110-120 beats.
- Regular use of the sauna significantly enhances immunity. Heat causes a rapid production of white blood cells that kill viruses and increase immune protection, thereby reducing the risk of influenza and cold.
- Regular use of the sauna reduces headaches and increases concentration, leading to deeper and more relaxed sleep at night.
