Live well, feel good... with sauna therapy. Exciting to see more and more research proving the health benefits of consistent sauna use. When was the last time you enjoyed a sauna session?
Sauna is gaining clinical co-sign. 🔥🩺 A 2021 study looked at the biological impact of sauna, and found that the wellness routine appears to extend healthspan. By mimicking the same physiological and protective responses as exercise, repeated sauna use optimizes stress response — protecting against cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disease. Researchers say sauna-ing can also preserve muscle mass and fight sarcopenia. Science is stacking in favor of the Finnish tradition, with other studies showing: • Saunaing ~3x/week lowers all-cause mortality risk by 40% and CVD death risk by 27%. • Sauna lowers blood pressure and cholesterol—while enhancing cardio fitness and recovery—when paired with exercise. • A single session can improve reaction time, psychological stress, and mood. Heat therapy is being explored as a path to combat depression, dementia, arthritis, and even cancer. Surging with wellness consumers, the global sauna market is expected to top $195B by 2029.
