How steam helps you lose weight
As you relax in the steam, your body is actually working hard to
eliminate toxins and burn fat. Weight loss becomes possible because
body fat becomes water soluble at 110 degrees and the body can sweat
out fats, toxins, and heavy metals. During a heat treatment your
heart works harder pumping blood at a greater rate to boost circulation,
supplying the conditioning benefits of continuous exercise. Heart
rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate increase. Because the metabolism
rate increases during the steam treatment you are burning calories,
not just water!
Scientific Research
As the body works to cool itself, there is a substantial increase
in heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate. Blood flow during
whole-body hyperthermia is reported to rise from a normal 5 to 7
quarts per minute to as much as 13 quarts per minute.
This benefit was recognized in the prestigious Journal of the American
Medical Association as long ago as August 1981: "Many of us
who run do so to place a demand on our cardiovascular system, not
to build big leg muscles. Regular use of a sauna imparts a similar
stress on the cardiovascular system, and its regular use may be
as effective, a means of cardiovascular conditioning and burning
of calories as regular exercise."
According to a study published in The American Journal of Medicine,
sauna bathing is well tolerated, safe and has therapeutic value
for most healthy people, as well as for most patients with stable
coronary heart disease.
Researchers examined the benefits and risks of sauna bathing for
healthy adults and children, as well as for patients with coronary
heart disease, hypertension, and congestive heart failure. This
comprehensive review of the world's biomedical literature (1966
to the present) was carried out by investigators from the Department
of Internal Medicine and University of Oulu, Finland, and the Division
of Cardiology, Washington Hospital Center, Washington D.C.
How Does Steam Therapy Work?
The heat from a steam treatment raises your core body temperature,
inducing an artificial fever. During a fever, the production of
white blood cells is increased, as is the rate of their release
into the blood stream. White blood cells are the primary agents
of the immune system. As the generation of antibodies speeds up,
so does the production of interferon, an anti-viral protein. In
this manner, your body's immune system is strengthened as it works
to combat the fever.
At the same time, sweating helps eliminate toxins and waste products
from the body. After detoxification, your immune system has less
"housecleaning" to do and can focus on protecting your
body from more serious health threats. produced by sweating, overall
health and resistance to diseases is increased.
Scientific Research:
Mayo Clinic researcher, Dr. Wakim, cites findings that the number
of white blood cells increased by an average of 58% during an artificially
induced fever.
