I used to think they were great: cleansing, detoxifying, etc.
I haven't seen anything that Peat has said about saunas.
I'm guessing he probably doesn't like them:
for the same reasons he doesn't like stressful exercise,
and the same reasons he doesn't like fasting.
I'm guessing it's an energy thing with him,
and he sees it as energy expenditure with no clear gains
or even with negative gains:
the release of stress hormones,
maybe the fast release of stored PUFA...
Dr. Peat's diet eschews the typical "cleansing" ideals promoted by many alternative practitioners
like Mercola.
But I don't know.
Has anyone heard a Peat comment about saunas?
