1. The infrared sauna is more beneficial than the steam room if weight loss is desired because of the energy expenditure. Compared to the steam room, the sauna places a greater demand on the body in the terms of using up calories, thus assists in fat loss. (Susan Jones, Ph.D in Lets live magazine, June 1994, USA) The heart needs to work harder to send more blood to the capillaries under the skin. It helps to improve the heart function. The energy required for that process is derived from the conversion of fat and carbohydrates to calories.
