On Heat...!

Sweating is taken very seriously even in the past, evident from the numerous mentions in the great tomes from the by-gone era. Going back as far as the 6th century BC, sweating is considered a very important element of well-being in the Sanskrit Ayurveda...(hurmmmm....)

Today, such sweating exercise often take place in a sauna, inducing a person's body to produce an artificial fever. Although one may look relaxed whilst sitting in a sauna, what's unseen is that the body's organs are working as if a strenuous activity is being carried out [one will get a bit tired...so after the sauna better take a nap for a while...(^.^)]. As one sweats, the body is being cleansed from within, 'excreting' sweat.

Medical research alone reveals that bathing in high temperatures has a beneficial effect on he body. Heat treatment in all their various guises have, throughout the ages, been providing people with a soothing interlude and very practical ways to detoxify.

Slimming...?...he3...
But there is more to heat treatment than simply burning fat. Heating the body is also said to be an effective way to help balance the body's pH. Together with the increased circulation, it is said to help boost the body's immune system..

The amount of fluid lost during a sauna bath may be about half kilogram but this can easily be compensated by drinking a few glasses of water to avoid de-hidration .

As the sauna's heat cause the heart to pump faster, the blood vessels open, and more blood an doxygen circulate in the body, and the bather feels refreshed and energised. As the sweat glands work, more calories are used. In fact, evidence reveals that up to 300 calories can be expended in a sauna session of between 20 to 30 minutes. the heat from the sauna also acts to purge toxins.

You can even do your own sauna....so, no more expenses problem perhaps... i did it with the ladies[mom, aunt, sisters] at home..!.... (^_^)v..! ... we add some herb portion...he...all about the beautiness...v
