• Increasing your core temperature for short periods, as is done by using a sauna, may offer dramatic improvements to your athletic performance
• This concept, called “hyperthermic conditioning,” may have multiple positive effects on your body, from increased endurance to the release of human growth hormone (HGH) and the growth of new brain cells
• As your body is subjected to reasonable amounts of heat stress, it gradually becomes acclimated to the heat, prompting a number of beneficial changes to occur in your body
• Infrared saunas can significantly expedite the detoxification process, as they heat your tissues several inches deep, which can enhance your natural metabolic processes
• Always listen to your body when deciding how much heat stress (i.e. sauna use) you can tolerate
