The formula to calculate Sauna Weight Loss (SWL) is:
\[ SWL = \frac{T}{60} \times 5 \]
Where:
Sauna weight loss refers to the amount of water weight lost while spending time in a sauna. The body sweats profusely in the high heat environment of a sauna, which can lead to a temporary reduction in body weight. It is important to note that this weight loss is primarily due to water loss, not fat loss, and should be replenished by drinking water afterward.
Let's consider an example:
Using the formula to calculate Sauna Weight Loss:
\[ SWL = \frac{30}{60} \times 5 = 0.5 \times 5 = 2.5 \, \text{lbs of water lost} \]
This means that after spending 30 minutes in the sauna, you could lose approximately 2.5 lbs of water weight.
