42. The Benefits of Sauna Use For Alzheimers Risk Reduction, Cardiovascular Health, and Fitness


Listen Later

In this podcast episode, I explore the many benefits of sauna use for Alzheimer's risk reduction, cardiovascular health, and fitness. Saunas have been used for centuries in many cultures for relaxation and healing, and recent research has revealed a variety of health benefits associated with regular sauna use.

I discuss the link between sauna use and Alzheimer's risk reduction. Research suggests that regular sauna use can help reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease by as much as 65 percent. I talk through the ways in which sauna use may help reduce the risk of cognitive decline and the underlying mechanisms behind this link.

Next, I explore the cardiovascular benefits of sauna use. Sauna use has been shown to improve heart health by reducing blood pressure, improving circulation, and reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. I discuss the various ways in which sauna use can benefit the heart and how it may be used as a complementary therapy to traditional cardiovascular treatments.

I also discuss the fitness benefits of sauna use. Saunas have been shown to help improve endurance, reduce muscle soreness, and enhance recovery after exercise. I talk about how sauna use may be incorporated into a fitness routine and the potential benefits for athletes and fitness enthusiasts.

Finally, I discuss practical tips for sauna use, including how often to use a sauna, how long to stay in, and how to stay safe. 

By the end of this episode, you'll have a better understanding of the many benefits of sauna use for Alzheimer's risk reduction, cardiovascular health, and fitness. You'll be equipped with the knowledge to make informed decisions about incorporating sauna use into your wellness routine.
