Why Use A sAUNA?
Researchers from the University of Eastern Finland tracked 2,300 middle-aged men for an average of 20 years. They categorized the men into three groups according to how often they used a sauna each week.
The men spent an average of 14 minutes per visit baking in 175° F heat. Over the course of the study, 49% of men who went to a sauna once a week died, compared with 38% of those who went two to three times a week and just 31% of those who went four to seven times a week. Frequent visits to a sauna were also associated with lower death rates from cardiovascular disease and stroke.

WHO SHOULD USE THE SAUNA?
Managing Pain & Injuries – Sauna use can help speed up muscle recovery. The increased growth hormone could be one factor behind this.
In animal studies, heat exposure was shown to slow muscle wastage in immobile limbs. While heat also helps regrow damaged muscle
People looking to improve their Heart Health – A five-year study, on a population size of 2315 men, found that those who used the sauna multiple times a week decreased their likely hood of heart disease.
A study, conducted in Finland, followed 2,315 people over 20 years. Increased sauna use was linked with a reduced risk of fatal cardiovascular-related diseases and less likely they were to experience sudden cardiac death. The more you sauna the less likely you are to develop cardio-vascular related disease
Avoid Cognitive Decline
Normal cognitive function relies on sufficient blood flow to the brain & peripheral nervous system, Findings from a large study demonstrated that men who used the sauna four to seven times per week had a 65% reduced risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, compared to men who used the sauna only one time per week.
Reduces Blood Pressure
Hypertension, defined as a systolic pressure of 130 mm Hg or higher, or a diastolic pressure of 80 mm Hg or higher, is a chronic elevation of blood pressure. A single sauna session has been shown to lower blood pressure and improve arterial compliance. As such, sauna use may serve as a non-pharmacological means to address, or even prevent, hypertension.
Lower risk of Alzheimer's & Dementia
Normal cognitive function relies on sufficient blood flow to the brain and peripheral nervous system, so cardiovascular diseases and cognitive decline often go hand-in-hand. Poor cerebral blood flow is commonly observed in mice and humans and may contribute to impaired amyloid-beta clearance, thereby accelerating the progression of Alzheimer's disease.
Boosts mental Clarity
Two key players in cognitive and mental function are norepinephrine, a hormone produced in the brain, and prolactin, a hormone released by the pituitary gland. Norepinephrine enhances focus and attention, while prolactin promotes myelin growth, which makes the brain function faster, a critical feature in repairing nerve cell damage.
Lower CHRONIC Inflammation
Inflammation is a critical element of the body's immune response that involves immune cells, cell-signalling proteins, and pro-inflammatory factors.
However chronic inflammation occurs on the cellular level in response to toxins or other stressors and is often “invisible.” It drives many chronic diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.
