A sauna before bed increases body temperature, opening up your circulatory system, which paradoxically causes you to cool down for better sleep after a sauna.
Heart Health
Saunas run our circulatory systems, causing blood vessels to open and heart rate and circulation to increase. A twenty year longitudinal study of over 2,000 Finnish men found those who used the sauna 4 to 7 times per week were nearly3x less likely to die of cardiovascular disease.
Skin Health
Saunas are like exercise for your skin. Sweating increases circulation to your skin, opens your pores, and flushes impurities, resulting in better and healthier skin.
Dementia & Alzheimer’s Prevention
The results from that famous Finnish study are stunning. Men who took saunas 4 to 7 times a week had a 65 percent lower chance of developing Alzheimer’s or dementia. Another 2020 Finnish study confirmed those results: those who took saunas 9 to 12 times a month had a 53 percent lower chance of dementia than people who went 0 to 4 times a month.
Quality of Life
Saunas offer peaceful space to relax and recharge with family and friends. The overall effect a sauna can have on your day is profound. Above all benefits, the best may be a general increase in your overall quality of life.
