      It only burns off water weight. Wrestlers do it to lose the last five pounds before a match.

      Absolutely not. You lose water and your body needs water to survice.

      it helps to open up your pours and flush out toxins, any weight loss you exeperience will be from water loss and you should regain whatever you lost back

      Not really true weight loss benefits, in comparison to what a 30 minute cardio workout might benefit.

      What the sauna does is speeds up your heart rate (good) and sweats out all the access water. I think it’s a good for post-workouts and lazy-days. But its important, VERY important to rehydrate.. one time i was in the sauna for 45 minutes after an intense workout & i started to feel dizzy.. lol not good, but i was fine after i got out and drank water.

      Sitting in a sauna or steam room doesn’t help you lose weight. It actually makes it a little harder to lose weight. It also doesn’t get rid of toxins. Sweat glands secret sweat, not toxins. There’s no mechanism in sweat glands that will them to collect toxins and expel them along with the sweat.
