The colon is also known as the bowel or the large intestine. In a normal person, this ranges from 1 to 2 meters long. The food we consume contain nutrients that are absorbed into the body as it passes through it. By the time it reaches the colon, only waste is left.

Can Saunas Improve Your Breathing or Sinus Conditions?

by Amy Nutt

Saunas can help those with breathing or sinus conditions breathe better. This may seem like a contradiction, especially since the steam associated with a traditional sauna can aggravate certain breathing conditions, especially asthma. However, studies have shown that those with breathing conditions can actually find relief from a trip to the spa.

There are three main types of saunas used today. Dry saunas use a wood stove to heat the air inside of the sauna. This creates little to no steam, which means those who cannot breathe in steamy air can breathe in a dry sauna. Because the heat in a dry sauna is not moist, it does not make the user feel as though he or she is breathing “heavy” air. This can make it possible for asthmatics to use the sauna when they otherwise were unable to do so. The heat does not feel as hot as it really is, simply because it does not contain high humidity.
