Fat loss, weight loss.
Can improving your health help you with fat loss?
Yes.
So if sweating more through activity or heat is improving your health, then it probably will help.
I don't think it's going to be like this huge dramatic effect though, where you're like, oh my God, because I sweat more now I'm burning, you know, I've lost three more pounds of body fat.
The weight loss typically on a scale is water.
But I do think, I don't think, I know there's plenty of data to show that sweating is, there's some benefit.
And functional medicine practitioners will often advise people to do things that induce sweating when they need to get rid of things like mold or heavy metals.
And that's, by the way, it's in combination with other things.
They don't just do that.
They'll do things like they'll have them eat things that chelate or, you know, things like spirulina and chlorella to help bind.
Yes.
So here's what's interesting.
Again, I'm going to, you know, a little caveat here, right?
If you love cardio and that's the way you work out and you get lots of value from it, it's healthy and you do it right, right?
You don't overdo it or whatever.
It's good for you.
There's nothing wrong with it.
Same thing with strength training, but let's just say the person's like, they don't care.
Okay.
