Dr. Patrick is the founder of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foundmyfitness.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Found My Fitness<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. She has done extensive research on saunas and wrote a review <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0531556521002916\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">article<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in Experimental Gerontology on it. \u00a0 There has been much research out of Finland as there is a large proportion of the population there that has personal saunas. The observational population-based studies from Finland show that sauna usage has a dose-dependent health effect. Sauna use itself is associated with a lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease, coronary artery disease, sudden cardiac death, stroke, and dementia. The more frequently an individual uses a sauna, the more robust the health benefits are. An example is people who use saunas two to three times a week have a 22% less likelihood of dying from sudden cardiac death compared to single-use a week. However, individuals who use the sauna four to seven times a week have a decreased risk of 63% compared to once-a-week usage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Sauna and exercise<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Patrick notes that sauna use is mimicking moderate intense aerobic cardiovascular exercise. Many of the same physiologic responses seen in exercise such as elevated core body temperature, elevated heart rate, sweating, and lower heart rate and blood pressure after exercise can be seen in sauna usage.\u00a0 Sauna use also has effects on the brain and improves blood flow to the brain. Observation studies here have shown also a dose-dependent effect on the reduction in dementia risk. Using the sauna two to three times a week decreased the risk of dementia by 20% compared to single-use per week. Four to seven times a week of using the sauna had a 60-66% reduction in dementia risk compared to single-use a week. It is not entirely clear as to the mechanism by which sauna use decreased neurodegenerative disease.\u00a0 However, there is a 40% risk reduction from all causes of mortality when using the sauna four to seven times a week compared to single-use per week.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Sauna as a lifestyle factor<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many lifestyle factors including exercise, medication, sleep, and a healthy diet are known to be helpful in longevity. Sauna use also appears to have benefits. The purpose of lifestyle factors is to try and extend the \u201chealthy years\u201d of one\u2019s life. By diminishing risk factors for dementia, Parkinson&#8217;s, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, it allows a person to live healthier and well for a\u00a0 longer period of time.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Saunas and body proteins<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sauna use also has effects on heat shock proteins which can aid in preventing the degradation of proteins in the body. Usage can also cause the elevation of endorphins in the body. There is some ongoing research that has found raising a person\u2019s core body temperature 1-2 degrees can give some improvement with depressive symptoms that can last up to 6 weeks after using a sauna a single time. Ongoing research is happening in this area to further analyze this finding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sauna use has also suggested it can decrease C-reactive protein ( a marker for inflammation), increase IL-6 which can cause an anti-inflammatory response, and increase IL-10\u00a0 which is also an anti-inflammatory marker. There are suggestions based on findings in some of these studies that sauna use may be doing some immune modulation; however, much further research is needed.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Limitations to the studies on saunas include that these are observational studies so causality can\u2019t be established. However, the studies suggest that increased frequency of sauna use and longer duration of staying in the sauna may have greater effects in a dose-dependent relationship.\u00a0 Further research is ongoing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SELECTED LINKS:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Association Between Sauna Bathing and Fatal Cardiovascular and All-Cause Mortality Events (JAMA Internal Medicine) |<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbnBWdVpYRlNKeGptSmplZkxDSFp4NWY0a3lKd3xBQ3Jtc0tsSFItNnVjT2FHNzBoYWE0b2hlSWhpYmYwSnl1LVM2bi1HY1Q1Vkp3NUp4MWhfS1dTX3NxNzhmRXI1aDBUalJzWURuOHRnaHNfRzVuQWRpX2g0ekdTcnNzZXZLM2xYVDI3a1F4c2VfQjd3c3FNeWZDNA&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Fjamanetwork.com%2Fjournals%2Fjamainternalmedicine%2Ffullarticle%2F2130724\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/jamanetwork.com\/journals\/jama&#8230;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sauna bathing is inversely associated with dementia and Alzheimer&#8217;s disease in middle-aged Finnish men (Age and Ageing) |<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqa29oMld2SHJUTXl3MTVkX29rb1RBOV93dk5RZ3xBQ3Jtc0ttdF9DZGxLUWQ5Z1JKWkkySWZGVFJZczlnT0p1am85OXlIY1FMOFVYVWk4NHZLellVSS1vU0dRN0wwLXhxMm1henlFd1RnU3B4TFJJcEZicmdtRHppNmdrNG9QREFyOHZPR2dMV3owaUp0dXJTenExWQ&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Facademic.oup.com%2Fageing%2Farticle%2F46%2F2%2F245%2F2654230\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/ageing\/artic&#8230;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Association of High Cardiovascular Fitness and the Rate of Adaptation to Heat Stress (Biomed Res Int.) |<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbWREdk9Gc2EzT3FRT2pGbTlzZnJiUVVBMEtZZ3xBQ3Jtc0trelF5clhKX2tXVm8tUTZtU2cxTC1GN3QzV04zVEZnUU9UVHBMZWVjeldNQWliak5sTVByd1IydFp1TGVHaGVBRU1mOHlXSHFNNXZiNS1qRGtZZkpDaDVxeXhhRjAweGw3aHRDLWhsVy1HRldvVkZ4VQ&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov%2Fpmc%2Farticles%2FPMC5850892%2F\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/arti&#8230;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sauna bathing reduces the risk of stroke in Finnish men and women (Neurology) |<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbGVRQy1HOXh1eDR6NE1nV3ZWOE5qUnZCQXFtQXxBQ3Jtc0ttQUk4c0JzOExyQkxUVHY3bVVfOEEzc1FPZF95b2lhNldCdllnUVVtQldVZmFvb1hSeEZ0Vlhvd1RkUFZIdFRPcVptWVBVRTJkN29UUGZ1c0hSbl8wN1p3M3dZSk4yVTRiWEdoallZRTJOdGxfT1Fhdw&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Fn.neurology.org%2Fcontent%2F90%2F22%2Fe1937\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/n.neurology.org\/content\/90\/22&#8230;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Effect of post-exercise sauna bathing on the endurance performance of competitive male runners |<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbEd6Wks2OFVnRXFyTzNIX0EwUjRsODBPU0Q0UXxBQ3Jtc0tuZGZJeVFRQ1QwTzdjSUFjc2dzVmEwa2tXMFZjQ1JUYmNubjQtMmhwaGVWNkVkaGtkWVctY1VINlNRalVSc0ZILUc0RmM2T0lIVVAxYmVQQk9xbWFyN3dTb1gyRGZmN1dYNFJQOTY5ZjdYTlFTMHdKVQ&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sciencedirect.com%2Fscience%2Farticle%2Fabs%2Fpii%2FS1440244006001393\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science&#8230;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2022 World Happiness Report (Helliwell et al.) |<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbm56MXdLbnlnTDRfRXF4Z2UzV0d3bExyTV9DQXxBQ3Jtc0tsSkZ6aHNiUHc1MExkVGMxQURiOVNlVmpmUTMxaWxLZFZtajFSOTY3YW83bzM0UEVfQ05oNGRkVW1jMGlMN2hfUmR5QnNjbXEzYUg5T2E3RGVIOWcyTVNnT2JLNlBsTXBJLU9jZEQ3UWRHTXZkMWJqbw&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Fhappiness-report.s3.amazonaws.com%2F2022%2FWHR%2B22.pdf\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/happiness-report.s3.amazonaws&#8230;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clinical trial in progress on sauna and depression run by Dr. Ashley Mason |<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqa0dxbjQ2MGlFSkdOOXhjY2h1dTZpNF9xeGlWQXxBQ3Jtc0tudnZiMDNzamwxYS16WTY0MjBxb0lVSS0yd010Vm41Mmg3VmgybkZoMU9sb2ZlVTZuak9JcmdiY2J6UlNnbG1jWDdFdmFBSjgyc0JCUWh2dFRIRW5DWW1jU1lHSHlvV3gzQzZ1dTZpQkd5SFdMNGdZMA&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Fclinicaltrials.gov%2Fct2%2Fshow%2FNCT04249700\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/clinicaltrials.gov\/ct2\/show\/N&#8230;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sauna Topics covered in video:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RWkv9ad7zvc&amp;t=0s\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:00:00<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211;
