Regular sauna use reduces the risk of all-cause mortality. A 20+ year study on Finnish men, those who used a sauna 4-7 times per week had about a 40% lower risk of all-cause mortality compared to those who used it only once per week (Laukkanen et al., JAMA Internal Medicine,
2015.
Why might this be? Well, regular sauna use has been linked to impressive whole-body benefits, including improved cardiovascular health, reduced blood pressure, lower inflammation, enhanced circulation, and better metabolic function.
Sauna sessions give effects similar to that of moderate exercise - Increased heart rate, vasodilation and activation of heat shock proteins that strengthen cellular resilience.
Regular use also supports stress relief, improved mood & sleep, faster muscle recovery, and protection against neurodegenerative and respiratory diseases.
In addition, sweating is one of the body’s natural detoxification pathways, helping eliminate heavy metals, BPA, phthalates and other environmental toxins through the skin. It also supports the lymphatic system and improves circulation, allowing nutrients to reach tissues more efficiently while waste products are carried away. Regular sweating reduces the body’s toxic burden, promotes clearer skin, and enhances overall vitality! 💪🏽🔥
