Using the sauna while on fast?

I love using the sauna and I went at the 24 hr mark and felt wiped out. I’m 70 hrs into my water fast and I’m wonder what people think of going to the sauna while on a water fast.

I’m taking my sodium and electrolytes along with creatine to help water retention.

I’m worried ill dehydrate myself because of how much water output occurs during a water fast in general.

Does anyone have experiences with using the sauna while water fasting or tips they could share?

Answer

When Penn was talking about his fasting experience, he mentioned that his doctor told him not to take hot showers because he could faint getting out of the shower, and I’ve personally noticed light headedness in a hit shower. Seems like a bad idea, to me.
