Sweating Promotes Reduced Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) Secretion
However, in the high temperature and humidity environment of a steam sauna, increased body temperature and external stimuli temporarily inhibit ADH secretion.
A home steam sauna room possesses four physical characteristics: "medium-high temperature + high humidity + saturated steam + a sealed environment," posing a clear challenge to any electronic device without a professional protection rating.
A steam sauna room uses a steam generator to heat water, producing large amounts of moist, hot steam. This raises the humidity to over 80%, and the temperature is generally maintained between 40°C and 50°C.
These characteristics have certain impacts on clothing. For example, high humidity makes cotton fabrics, which absorb moisture, unsuitable, and confined spaces require minimal clothing.
Water sprinklers are generally not necessary in steam sauna rooms for the following reasons:
1. The room is already saturated with water, so no additional water is needed;
2. The space is enclosed, and water sprinklers may cause water accumulation;
3. Water sprinklers increase the installation and maintenance burden;
4. Most usage needs can be met through the control of steam equipment.
Key things not to do after using a steam sauna:
1. ❌ Do not take a cold shower immediately
2. ❌ Do not engage in strenuous exercise or workout immediately
3. ❌ Do not consume large amounts of food immediately, especially high-fat or high-protein foods
4. ❌ Do not drink alcohol or caffeinated beverages immediately
5. ❌ Do not wash your face with cold water or leave wet hair dry for a long time
6. ❌ Do not sleep or drive immediately
7. ❌ Do not neglect hydration and electrolyte replacement
8. ❌ Do not enter the steam sauna room repeatedly
People who are not suitable for using a steam sauna room include:
1. People with cardiovascular disease
2. People with respiratory diseases
3. People with severe skin diseases
4. Pregnant and breastfeeding women
5. Elderly people (over 65 years old)
6. Children and adolescents
7. Alcoholics and those who have been drinking
8. People who have just eaten or are on an empty stomach
