HELPFUL HINTS
Drink liquids prior to, during and after your sauna session. Water works just fine. Use
the best quality water available to you. Eating a piece of fruit is helpful to replace
potassium. The typical American diet can replace phosphorous which is lost through
perspiration. Magnesium is replaceable through green leafy vegetables or
supplementation. (Some facts about Gatorade: the “energy” Gatorade supplies to
muscles is SUGAR. The “fluids” are water. And the “minerals” are salt (110mg of
sodium and 97 mg of chlorine), 25 mg of potassium and 24 mg of phosphorous.
Americans eating an average diet of commercial food already consume too much salt
and phosphorous. While many people could use a little more potassium, there is more
than 25 mg in a TABLESPOON of orange juice. If you shower or bathe before your
Infrared Sauna session, you may sweat more: try it with and without first bathing or
showering to see which you prefer. Have 2-3 towels available during your session. Sit
on one towel folded over several times for added cushioning. Use another towel on
the floor to absorb extra sweat. A third towel can be draped over the knees may
provide comfort and is useful to towel off sweat during your sauna session.
As you become more heat conditioned you may wish to increase the length of your
sessions to 40 minutes or longer. This is especially useful if desiring to heat soft
tissues to their optimal temperature prior to stretching to attain a non-elastic, lasting
elongation. Obviously, you will need to rehydrate very thoroughly and be sure to
properly support your mineral balance. Certainly, consult your doctor about your
individual usage. Many users report that they feel increasingly comfortable with
longer sessions, some as long as 1 ½ hours. On other days these same people “feel
finished” with their session after 30-40 minutes of usage. Any area that you wish to
achieve a specific deep heating effect in should be moved as close to one of the
heaters as feels comfortable
