Sauna use associated with reduced risk of cardiac, all-cause mortality
- arikr 8y ago> For all-cause mortality, sauna bathing 2 to 3 times per week was associated with a 24 percent lower risk and 4 to 7 times per week with a 40 percent reduction in risk compared to only one sauna session per week. Seems somewhat significant!
- gruglife 8y agoanyone know if the same applies to steam rooms?
- timonoko 8y agoNo. Real Finnish sauna produces short periods of extreme heat stress. This causes immunological defenses to turn on. Very similar benefits are observed from acute shocks of extreme cold. Joe Rogan for example swims frequently in a bucket of liquid nitrogen.
