We all agree…. something salty is a good thing… soup rehydrates: great tip!

I definitely agree with going into the sauna on an empty stomach is better. For afterwards, my family and friends usually enjoy a nice hearty soup, like chicken noodle.

Anything with a touch of salt is great. Crisps perhaps

An excellent point!! Eating and sauna is similar to eating and swimming…the old wives tale of no eating before swimming or you will drown.

Popcorn cooked over the fire is our nice late night snack -

Another point to keep in mind is that you may not want to have a big meal right before you sauna. Blood is directed to digestion after eating. It can put a strain on your system when the blood is needed to go to the surface of your skin to help regulate body temperature. Digest your meal while the sauna heats up.
