The health benefits of a sauna are numerous. A simple step into the sauna often starts the relaxation process. Tension melts away. You can feel your mind clearing and your body responding to the warmth. But you may be wondering how long to sauna bathe to tap into the biggest health benefits. To get the most out of the experience, there are a few aspects to consider.
If you’re new to using a sauna, it’s important to ease into the process. Start with just 5 to 10 minutes at a time. If you’ve just completed a cardio workout, wait for 10 to 15 minutes before jumping into the sauna. You don’t want to spend more than 15 to 20 minutes in a sauna most of the time.
Remaining in a sauna longer than this doesn’t increase the health benefits. Plus, it could put you at risk for dehydration. Instead, try to use your sauna on a more consistent basis for less time. It takes just a few minutes a day to make a big difference.
Sauna benefits include the potential to improve heart function, especially in those who have heart failure. It may also help to reduce the risk of stroke and dementia. Some studies report saunas have an excellent ability to reduce inflammation occurring in the soft tissues of the body. After a long workout, they can help to reduce muscle soreness and speed up the natural healing process. It may help boost the function of your immune system, too.
Another popular reason people use Jacuzzi® Clearlight Saunas as a way to detox their pores and skin. While you do have to be careful about dehydration, especially for longer periods of time, saunas can restore your skin’s youthful appearance and may help with some weight loss.
Sauna benefits begin with consistent use. How frequently you use the sauna is up to you. Some people enjoy a daily break while others only use it once a week. Consistent use, at any pace, is likely to provide the best outcome for health. However, studies have shown that sauna bathing more often can make a bigger impact. For instance, in this study, those that used the sauna for 14 minutes per day 4-7 times per week were significantly less likely to die from cardiovascular disease than those that sauna bathed one time per week.
It’s always wise to speak to your doctor if you have any qualms about using a sauna. Also, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for sauna use.
