Saunas and baths are irreplaceable for slimming. Hot procedures will help lose a few pounds. Only it is important to understand that the heat itself does not melt the lipids: by getting rid of a kilogram-another woman during bathing procedures are obliged to a profuse sweating. But dehydration is not the best method of weight loss. That is why it is necessary to replenish the water balance - in between the visits to the steam room, drink herbal teas and water. However, the main secret of the favorable effect of high temperatures and steam on the figure lies in the elimination of stagnant phenomena and the activation of metabolic processes, which will be further accelerated if they are supplemented with massage, wraps, or whipping with a broom. A strengthening of the lymph flow will say goodbye to the unappetizing "orange peel". Therefore, a bath day can well compete on efficiency with salon procedures. By the way, in some cosmetic clinics the terms are included in the weight correction program, and in anti-cellulite. In addition, bath procedures are significantly refreshing, invigorating and relieving stress: together with sweat, toxins, slags and lactic acid, a companion of fatigue and the cause of pain in muscles after training, are removed from the body. That is why in all fitness centers there are saunas: warmed up after a busy session - and the next day you do not even remember the overworked muscles!
Find out which sauna best burns fat, first try a traditional Finnish sauna. The optimum temperature in the steam room, according to the northern peoples, should be equal to 80 ° C. The air in the sauna is dry enough (you can only sprinkle stones with water so that the steam room fills the essential oil flavor), which causes increased sweating. For 15 minutes of stay is lost to 1.5 liters of moisture. Brooms at this temperature are not welcome: you can earn a burn. But calmly sit or lie down - please. During this time the body will warm up, the vessels will expand, the pores will open. The epidermis begins to breathe, the blood will actively supply all organs with oxygen and nutrients. The main thing is not to miss the moment and wash off the sweating that has appeared, not let it dry, otherwise the skin will absorb all the toxins back.
If you decide to finish the fitness day in the steam room and want to find out, do not rush into the sauna right after classes. After training, the body is warmed up, and the extra heat, increasing the load on the cardiovascular system, will negatively affect the well-being. If time allows, after fitness you need to rest for 20-30 minutes, take a warm shower, drink water. Visits in the steam room should be made short, not more than 7 minutes. The degree in it is lower than in Finnish, from 60 to 80 ° C, but the trip to the steam room is not so easy due to humidity. Thanks to a couple of sweat from the surface of the body evaporates slowly, the body cools worse, but the subcutaneous layer warms up more, which means that metabolic processes proceed faster. A distinctive feature of the Russian bath - massage with a broom. By the way, brooms have different properties: oak stimulates metabolic processes, birch cleanses the oily skin, currants rid of cellulite. An integral part of the Russian bath - swimming in the pool with cold water. Sharp temperature changes mobilize the body, causing more intense burn calories. Only with the change of temperatures is it worth experimenting tempered: not every cardiovascular system will survive. The effect after the contrasting procedures of the Russian bath will last for 4-5 hours. As after intense cardio, during this period it is recommended to thread more liquid, and to refrain from heavy meals. Do you want to know what the cartoon character Yury Norshtein felt? Visit the hammam. Turkish baths are suitable for those who do not tolerate Russian baths and saunas. The temperature in the hammam is much lower - no more than 45-50 ° C. The benches in the baths are usually made of marble, and the walls are tiled, but the stone does not feel cold. Thick steam, swirling in the air, gradually heats the body and saturates the cells with moisture, helping to remove toxins. Cosmetologists believe that the hamam - the best tool in the fight against cellulite. After all, the traditional procedure necessarily includes foam massage, peeling and even wrapping! Famous soap massage is carried out viscose mittens. During the procedure, the problem areas are kneaded, all the joints, the spine stretch out - but the relaxed body can easily perceive manual therapy.

And she does not use special demand: not everyone will dare to climb into a vat with hot water, under which there is a stove. The European alternative ofuro, invented in the Altai, is the so-called cedar barrel. Outwardly it resembles the Japanese version, but is filled not with water, but with steam. Such a mini-sauna. Only they sink into it not entirely, but on the chest. Within an hour, they enter the barrel three times for 10 minutes. In the break between the calls, like in traditional saunas, they drink tea and massage. The advantages of a cedar barrel are that the head is always on the outside, and only the body is soared. This allows you to reduce the burden on the heart and does not make breathing difficult, which often happens in a traditional bath and sauna. But the body perfectly warms up, and massage speeds up the process of losing weight. The Japanese sauna know-how is an infrared sauna. It is similar to Finnish, but the temperature in the room is comfortable (45-65 ° C), because the body is warmed by infrared rays. Invisible, they penetrate deeper by 5 cm. The thermal effect is so great that a strong sweating begins within 5 minutes. For half an hour in an infrared sauna 600 calories are burnt! However, because of the rapid effect, a person is not always able to notice overheating on time. And after several sessions, the skin may go stained.
