Not Just Relaxation, These Are the Effects of Sauna on the Body

Dream - For Dream Friends who enjoy saunas, get ready to hear this good news. So far, saunas in spas have been considered only for relaxation and skincare. In fact, saunas have more effects than that.

A study published in the journal BMC Medicine found that sauna two to three times a week reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease-related death by 25 percent.

Researchers also found that the longer people spend time in the sauna, the better it is for their liver health.

Researchers from the University of Eastern Finland revealed that sauna bathing can lower the risk of high blood pressure, stroke, respiratory diseases, and dementia.

Just relaxing in the sauna alone increases heart rate to 120 to 150 beats per minute. This can restore blood vessel function to improve blood flow and regulate blood pressure. Not only that, there are still 3 other benefits if you regularly take sauna baths.

The Amazing Benefits of Sauna

1. Maintaining Brain Function

Apparently, what is good for the heart may also be good for the brain. Such as improving blood vessel function, lowering blood pressure, reducing inflammation, and maintaining cognitive resources.

2. Improving Respiration

The hot air can improve lung function for better breathing. In a study by a team from the UK and Finland involving nearly 2,000 men, those who sauna two to four times or more per week tend to not experience respiratory diseases (such as COPD, asthma, or pneumonia) compared to those who sauna once or less per week.

3. Improving Mood

Sauna has been proven to increase endorphin levels that create a sense of comfort. According to a paper in the Alternative Medicine Review journal, those with mild depression reported feeling physically better with regular sauna sessions.

However, if you have health problems, consult with a doctor before going to the sauna. This is because people with congenital heart problems should not take sauna baths.
