Health benefits of Saunas

Saunas, which are generally considered a "beauty therapy" treatment, can in fact double as a cardio-vascular, fat-burning therapy session as well. Yes, you heard right, spending some time in the sauna has been proven to offer cardio-vascular ‘training’ and in turn, literally burn off calories.

According to the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, repeated sauna treatments improve cardio functioning which, in return, can improve cardiac functioning. This happens because the body responds to the steam of the sauna and increases your heart rate, which ultimately increases your metabolic rate, which leads to calories burnt.
