Locker-Room Saunas: Are They Really Helping You Get Fit?

Locker-Room Saunas: Are They Really Helping You Get Fit?

I like the locker-room sauna. Not only can a little post-workout steam nap make me feel like I’ve been more productive than I was (it’s the total time spent at the gym that counts, right?), but I love the heat and that euphoric, loose-muscled, slightly loopy feeling you get. And I swear that 15 minutes in the sauna can relieve my headaches. But I had only vague ideas about what saunas are actually intended for—sweating out toxins? Losing water weight?

Natural Deodorant: Would You Dare?

Natural Deodorant: Would You Dare?

B.O. can be the pits. But that doesn’t stop some of us from being wary about the chemicals and possible health risks associated with antiperspirants and deodorants.

Slathering our armpits with these gels and roll-ons means putting aluminum chlorohdrate or aluminum zirconium into our bodies. And while they may keep you dry and stink-free, the problem with these ingredients is that the health consequences are still widely unknown. In addition to possible irritants and allergens, health experts have warned us about the possible connection to breast cancer.
