During a visit to the sauna, a person is able to lose from 1.5 to 2 liters of water. And even if the purpose of visiting an institution is the desire to "sweat well", drinking is a must.
Instructions
Step 1
Saunas are often equipped with bars or even real cafes offering visitors to eat, drink, and sometimes even drink. But if you can steam yourself without food, exposure to high temperatures on the body without additional intake of liquid from the outside can lead to the most sad consequences. Dehydration is fraught with headaches, circulatory disorders, and sometimes even loss of consciousness. Therefore, it is completely unacceptable to be thoughtless about such an important procedure; you should start preparing for it at home.
Step 2
All day before visiting the sauna, you need to drink a lot, while eating only light foods. The last meal should be planned so that it ends 2, or even better 3 hours before going to the bathhouse. There is no limitation on drinks. But only on their number, but what to drink, you will have to pay special attention. Water, juices, fruit drinks, herbal teas, kvass are allowed. Black tea and especially coffee should be abstained from. Not to mention alcohol. It is strictly forbidden to drink alcohol either in front of the sauna or directly in it.
Step 3
As soon as a person crosses the threshold of the sauna, do not rush to the bottle with a drink. The first 2-3 visits to the steam room should be transferred, as they say, dry. Sauna lovers know that the first vaping continues until the “drop from the nose”, that is, exactly until the moment when the body is ready to actively release sweat and dissolved salts and toxins outside. As soon as the first drop on the nose glass, it is necessary to exit to give the body the opportunity to prepare for the main sweating. If you drink water at this moment, sweat will be released much more, but the cleansing effect will disappear, because the slags simply do not have time to emerge from the depths of the tissues to the surface of the skin.
Step 4
But when, after 2-3 visits, a person feels well sweated, you can and should start drinking. Abundant and abundant. You should continue to drink after the sauna. Hot drinks like herbal tea with honey should be preferred, but plain water will work as well. The only remark is that it must be without gas. As for alcohol, the severity of the prohibition is slightly softened, and if desired, alcohol can also be consumed, but in very small quantities. Going to the sauna is very stressful for the body, and there is no need to increase it with additional stress on the liver. But non-alcoholic beer is very good for drinking after a sauna. There is almost no alcohol in it, and there are more than enough minerals and enzymes that are so necessary for a dehydrated body.
