The last thing you’re probably thinking about doing right now is putting on your swimsuit, going outside, and jumping in an ice bath. That’s exactly what TCL reporter Kelli Hanson is doing! She is at Stokeyard Outfitters at The Dock with a bunch of people who live for that stuff. Stokeyard Outf

Know anybody that wants a sweatbag for Xmas? 🤣

OK, we should give this thing a rest for a while and return to showing you great Estonian saunas.
..at least, that's what we thought until the Kardashians posted their 2021 Christmas gift list. It included this 'sauna' that they sell in their online store - and we just had to rate it.

"Essentially," they explain, "it’s a lined sleeping bag with professional infrared heat tech with EMF blockers (so you are as close to nature as possible) and lined with jade and tourmaline for even heat distribution as well as positive vibes."

Even heat distribution is one thing we can agree makes a good sauna. That’s traditionally achieved by building high benches so that your feet are in line with the top of the stones above the stove, although there are modern stoves that circulate heat and steam evenly to the floor too. It doesn’t quite work if your head is sticking out of the sauna though, as in this one.

We also love saunas as close to nature as possible, although we’re not sure how that’s achieved just by blocking EMFs (electromagnetic frequencies). While EMF blocking technology does have some uses - like in a microwave, for example - it’s unclear what benefits there are to occasionally shielding your body from regular frequencies around us. Also, experts in this field generally agree that commercially-available EMF blocking technology does nothing at best, while many products actually contain metals that absorb waves and therefore increase exposure. That’s because there is no legal standard to define EMF blocking and testing its effectiveness is very difficult, while product sellers instead prefer selling it with a bit of technical jargon and little scientific evidence. In fact, the US Federal Trade Commission warns consumers to avoid products “that supposedly shield users from cell phone emissions”.

In reality, the best way to be “as close to nature as possible” in your sauna is to build your sauna as close to nature as possible.

Ultimately though, we had to rate this sauna as zero because it has no meaningful connection to our sauna tradition, which is a communal experience involving hot rocks and steam at the very least. Manufacturers shouldn’t use such a culturally important word as ‘sauna’ to describe any kind of heat therapy.

This product is closer to a microwave than a sauna.

What's the fastest animal over 100 miles?

Dan Lieberman, a Harvard expert in Evolutionary Biology, explains that it's you, actually. Sure, over short distances we will be beaten by cheetahs. But humans can run them down after 6km. As the Man Against Horse race in Arizona shows, humans are capable of beating even horses over long distances because of our capacity to thermoregulate. As any sauna enthusiast knows, our primary way of doing this is to sweat profusely. Four-legged animals have to pant to cool themselves, and they're physically unable to do this at the same time as running.

This theory of 'persistence hunting' suggests that the ability to outrun prey moved us to the top of the food chain. Eating more calorie-dense meat meant we could grow our energy-hungry brains, and we could soon add smarts to our sweats to become lethal.

But what about today? Research has shown that men exposed to 20 minutes of heat stress had higher levels of a neurotrophin called BDNF (Kojima et al. 2017). This is a key protein in neurogenesis - the production of new neurons in our brain - and is associated with areas of our brain involved in learning, long-term memory and decision-making.

Noradrenaline is a hormone that enhances our focus and attention. ADHD drugs like ritalin and adderall act to increase levels of it in our brains. Sauna is also a more holistic way to increase it - noradrenaline has been shown to be increased in men (+310%; Kukkonen-Harjula et al. 1989) and women (+86%; Laatikainen et al. 1988) after intense sauna sessions.

Comment below if you've found sauna great for learning, memory or creativity! And please do pledge over at the Spacehive link in our bio to bring this therapy to Hackney Wick.

The international sauna society made a statement at the start of the pandemic, saying that there was no evidence to support the claim that regular sauna use could keep the bather safe from COVID-19.

In the meantime, studies on the effects of steam inhalation have shown positive results, effectively reducing and eventually clearing symptoms of infection after continued use.

Participants simply used a steam chamber with a towel over their heads and saw relief from all symptoms and received negative test results in just one day.

Can you imagine how much more effective (and enjoyable) a proper sauna would be against a covid infection?

Check out the article below...

The promising results we obtained with this easily accessible, non-invasive and inexpensive procedure should prompt controlled trials.

Clinicians have long noted that depressed individuals are unable to regulate their body temperature and keep cool. They also tend to have elevated biomarkers of inflammation.

Research shows that these are linked and it's suggested that depression is an unfortunate evolutionary by-product. Environmental stress increases inflammation as our body prepares itself to fight pathogens, which in turn triggers sickness behaviours. When we’re chronically stressed, we can lock into a permanent state of inflammation, and we become depressed. 

High states of inflammation also block our ability to synthesise serotonin in our brains, so treating the underlying inflammation is a great way to feel good again. The heat stress of the sauna induces an intense immune response in the short-term, which acts to lower inflammation over the longer-term. Sauna bathing also allows us to recalibrate thermoregulation in depressed individuals: studies show that those with the highest core body temperatures find the biggest antidepressant effects. 

If you ever find you have a low mood and feel flustered and unable to stay cool, the intense heat of the sauna may, counterintuitively, be a great treatment to try.
