As soon as I start to feel like I might be getting sick, I immediately take as hot a bath as I can stand for about an hour then immediately cool off with cold water. Seems to do the trick quite well the majority of the time. My partner will go through the full illness while I can mostly nip it in the bud.
That's what a sauna is about !
A 20min session (10min/1min pause/10min) and jumping in cold water will give you a dizziness state, lay down and enjoy !
You will feel refreshed, new-born, all negativity drown away, no-invasive thoughts of your subconscious... Just a climax-feeling of peacefulness ! (Until you're back to you 10-17 routine...)
Sauna sessions are awsome !
Oh I totally agree. Saunas are awesome. I just don't have one in my house.
Isn't going from a sauna to cold water and back bad for the heart? I worked with a French-Finnish guy for a while who told me half his family are on heart medication because of it.
I heard everything and it's contrary. But that's more of a how many times/week you do it thing IMO.
I'm not a doctor or any specialist but rather on the safe side of things. It's the dose that makes the difference. If you drink 5 liters of water in less than 1 min, it will probably kill you... But that doesn't stop me drinking water every day.
And yes I can imagine all Nordic people doing it like 5 time a week? Is probably way to much... It also depends on other factors (genetics?).
Just my 2cent, don't take it for granted.
Heck. I do that twice a week just because it feels great.
Also perfect for my back pain. Everything relaxes after an hour in a hot bath.
I even put in dimmable multi colour light in my bathroom and some nice background music.
Sadly the LED strip broke quite soon...
I have an old laptop palying videos. usually anime.
Ah yeah, did that during business trips.
There are also some laptop remote control apps in the store
Not sure what is hip and secure currently, years ago I used unified remote, which worked quite well.
Or did you find a better solution and use a real remote with USB receiver?
just start it up and let it play. Its stuff I have watched before so its fine if I miss bits or such.
