Now let's bring the heat. Sweat. Hot Yoga. Sauna. Banyas.
If one has a mildly elevated blood pressure, Doctor's are going to begin to consider prescribing diuretics early. Hey lose water and you lower blood pressure. The volume of your blood changes.
Just sweat it out. Sweating aids in the removal of all the weird junk aging us faster from modern life. Like pesticides and heavy metals.
However today it's about saunas or steam rooms. They are not the same. Sauna is dry heat. Banyas or steam rooms are wet heat.
Medical research says dry heat is gentler on the body, and will actually result in more sweating because one can handle the experience better.
I've experienced both and I do like the steam better. It is hotter. But it's true that one can take the heat longer in the drier heat, and may very well sweat more volume of sweat.
The traditional Russian experience include drinking water or tea. From my reading that might not be enough. One needs electrolytes in the fluid replacement. And it should be warm not cold.
If you had to take a natural drink best suited for replacing sweat loss, it would be coconut water. Also in health food stores there are non sugary electrolyte drinks.
Here is a recipe for a homemade drink. 32 ounces filtered water, 1 organic cucumber sliced thinly, 1 orange sliced the same way, 1 lemon sliced, and 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, or Endure performance electrolyte drops.
Drink a glass before beginning, and afterwards. Not cold! Room temp is fine. It would be excellent if the mix was shaken up, then allowed to steep for few hours.
Make it a peaceful experience. A meditation.
