If you think going on gym workouts and switching vegan are extreme ways of losing weight, then probably you will love getting a hot steam bath in a sauna. Taking at least 15 minute sauna every day gives the same benefits as to regular exercises, says Japanese scientists.

So if you’re a bit lazy doing exercise craze, then sauna will turn out fine.

Researchers at Kagoshima University conducted a study on a group of men at risk from heart disease and were surprised with the results. After two weeks of regular sauna news, the group had significant changes in their arteries and blood flow. The results make them conclude that daily sauna may improve the damage to the blood vessels.

The hot temperature in a sauna room raises your body temperature which causes you to sweat even more. Elevated temperature can also boost your lymphatic system that is responsible for eliminating the toxins in the body. Another benefit to take note is the improved blood circulation. Don't believe, however, claims that saunas burn calories.
