Hello everyone!
My name is “Take” and I am the operator of “Practice of Sauna Activity”.
I’ve also got an easy-to-understand, live commentary on YouTube, so please check it out here (only japanese)!
I know some of you are thinking, “I haven’t been to the sauna lately, but I’m getting frustrated…” or “I’ve been going to the sauna so much I can’t calm down…”!
This time, for those people, I will tell you what “sauna addiction” or “sauna addiction” is, and the part about how it really happens!
This article will help you…
・All you need to know about sauna addiction!
・How to prevent it!
・You will know how to choose a sauna from now on!
Let’s gooooooo!!!
Sauna addiction really exists.
Sauna is a way of artificially creating a critical situation for oneself and obtaining various benefits.
However, if you go in the wrong way, you can end up with a body that is “frustrated because I can’t go in the sauna”!
This is related to the substances in the brain, the same principle as the well-known “alcoholism,” “gambling addiction,” “running addiction,” etc.
Mechanism of addiction
One of the causes of sauna addiction is “making the temperature difference between the sauna room and the water bath abnormally large and taking it the wrong way.
This can be caused by unnecessarily entering a sauna with a temperature of well over 100°C or by unnecessarily entering a water bath with a temperature of less than 9°C, which is known as a “single” temperature.
Entering a sauna or water bath activates the sympathetic nervous system, which produces an excitatory brain substance called “adrenaline.
When the stored adrenaline is used up, the next step is to start secreting “dopamine,” which is the raw material.
If you still keep producing dopamine, dopamine will become ineffective and depleted, and your body will crave large amounts of dopamine!
Is the temperature difference between a sauna and a water bath the only thing wrong?
As mentioned above, “increasing the temperature difference between sauna and water bath” certainly feels good, and I honestly like it too (lol)!
But it is not only bad to “increase the temperature difference between the sauna and the water bath.
If you enter the sauna in the following ways, you may approach sauna addiction!
・Staying in a sauna room with an abnormally high temperature beyond the limit,
・Soaking in a water bath with an abnormally low temperature for a long time,
・Taking a single water bath that intentionally breaks the temperature plumage,
・Doing sets of 10, and so on!
If you can avoid these, then going to a sauna facility with a large temperature differential won’t be much of a problem!
How to avoid addiction
I hope you can see from the previous example of how to avoid addiction that this is not a normal way to enter a sauna!
To avoid addiction, it is important to enter the sauna correctly!
This includes leaving the sauna room or water bath at the appropriate time and temperature, but for more information, see the article below!
Conclusion
What do you think? Sauna addiction really does exist!
Sauna addiction is related to dopamine in the same way that alcohol addiction is related to other addictions!
You can get close to addiction by going into saunas in unusual ways, but if you avoid them, you won’t have much of a problem!
I’m happy for you all to be addicted to sauna, but please don’t go into sauna in a “kick-ass” way, but in a “well-rounded” way!
Okay, that was a long post, but thanks for reading! I will try my best to post English articles as well, so please check out my other articles!
