Named the benefit of frequent visits to the sauna

The authors of the study badyzed the relationship between the frequency of sauna visits and the development of diseases of the circulatory system based on medical data from more than 1,500 people, whose average age was 63 years.

Participants who visited the sauna four to seven times a week had fewer than three deaths per thousand people per year. At the same time, for those who visited the sauna once a week, this figure was ten deaths a year.

The scientists concluded that more frequent visits to the sauna were badociated with a reduced risk of death by cardiovascular diseases in men of middle age, as well as older women and men.

According to Professor Jari Laukkanen of the University of Eastern Finland, this is due to the fact that sauna enthusiasts have low blood pressure and a higher heart rate, which corresponds to what we observe during exercises of low or moderate intensity.

Previously, scientists found that frequent sauna visits significantly reduced the risk of developing heart disease and blood vessels, labor problems in the brain and lungs, as well as reducing the risk of premature death.
