Best Drinks to Hydrate After a Sauna Blanket Session
Finished a sweaty sauna blanket session? What you drink next can make a big difference. These portable devices help you detox, but hydration is key to feeling your best. Here are the best drinks to rehydrate and recharge.
Why Hydration Matters
A 30-45-minute session at 140-160°F (60-71°C) in a sauna blanket makes you sweat—a lot. That’s great for detox, but you lose water and electrolytes. Drinking the right fluids helps your body recover and keeps you energized.
Water: The Classic Choice
Plain water is a must. Aim for 16-20 ounces post-session to replace what you’ve lost. Add a pinch of sea salt to restore sodium, especially after an intense sweat with infrared heat.
Coconut Water for Electrolytes
Coconut water is nature’s Gatorade. It’s packed with potassium and magnesium, which you lose while sweating in a sauna blanket. Sip 8-12 ounces for a natural electrolyte boost.
Here are some drinks to try:
- Herbal tea (chamomile or mint): Soothes and hydrates
- Lemon water: Adds vitamin C for recovery
- Watermelon juice: High in water and antioxidants
- Electrolyte packets: Quick fix for intense sessions
A Tip for Low-Wattage Blankets
If your blanket has lower power, you might sweat less but still need hydration. Stick to the higher temperature range and drink up anyway—it supports your body’s balance.
