Such a haven is usually close at hand in the sauna at your local gym or health club. To relieve stress, a sauna helps you relax. To supplement a fitness program, the sauna produces reactions similar to mild exercise such as a brisk walk. The high heat and low humidity give your heart a cardiovascular workout.
Saunas promote the body's natural cleansing through perspiration to maintain clear, healthy skin.

Healthy people of all ages can enjoy a sauna as long as they exercise common sense. Pregnant women should not use the sauna because it increases the heart's workload. Also, high body temperature can adversely affect the fetus.
