What drinks and how much should I bring to the sauna?

Public interest group corporation corporationJapan Sauna and Spa AssociationAccording to , the amount of sweat per sauna bath is ``1ml to 300ml.''The basics of a sauna is 400 set of ``sauna bath → cold bath → outside air bath'', but if you enjoy 1 sets of this, you will have lost around 3ml of water from your body.Sauna bathing can lead to dehydration if you don't drink enough water.Please prepare at least 1000ml of drinks to stay hydrated.Although you can purchase drinks at the facility, we recommend bringing some with you so you can quickly rehydrate.

The following are suitable sauna hydration drinks:

1. ·Mineral water
2. ·barley tea
3. ·Sports Drink
4. ・Ion water
5. ・milk
6. ·Vegetable juice

Mineral water, barley tea, sports drinks, and ionized water can replenish both water and minerals lost through sweat.Also, ``Oropo'', a drink made by mixing Oronamin C and Pocari Sweat in the desired ratio, is popular among sauna enthusiasts.

Milk and vegetable juice can replenish the vitamins, protein, calcium, etc. lost through sweat.However, since it contains a small amount of water, it is recommended to drink it with other drinks such as mineral water.

Avoid drinks containing caffeine or alcohol to stay hydrated in the sauna.Specifically, these include alcohol, coffee, green tea, and cola drinks.Caffeine and alcohol have diuretic effects, and if you drink them after a sauna when your body has low water levels, they can actually cause dehydration. Many people may think, ``I want to enjoy beer after sauna!'' However, it is better to refrain from drinking beer immediately after taking a sauna and stay hydrated before enjoying alcohol.
