Sauna and heart health: how heat strengthens the heart
A healthy lifestyle and regular exercise are considered key to a strong heart. But did you know that going to the sauna can also have a positive effect on heart health? In this article, we shed light on how the heat of the sauna affects the heart and the health benefits of regular sauna sessions.
Stress reduction and relaxation: good for the heart
Stress is one of the biggest risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The soothing warmth of the sauna relaxes the muscles, slows down breathing and reduces the stress hormone cortisol. This deep relaxation has a positive effect on the heart and helps to minimise the risk of heart disease in the long term.
Protection from heart attack?
The positive effect of the sauna on the cardiovascular system goes so far that some studies suggest that regular sauna use can significantly reduce the risk of heart attacks. A long-term Finnish study found that people who went to the sauna 4 to 7 times a week had a 63% lower risk of suffering a heart attack than people who only went to the sauna once a week. Sauna and health go hand in hand.
