Can Sauna Help You Live Longer and Feel Better?

Saunas have been used for centuries for relaxation, but modern research shows they may also support longevity and overall health.

The Science of Longevity

A landmark Finnish study found that people who used the sauna 4–7 times per week had nearly a 50% lower risk of fatal heart disease and reduced risks of dementia and all-cause mortality. Heat exposure works like “passive cardio,” raising your heart rate, improving circulation, and training your body to adapt to stress.

Why it Helps:

• Boosts Hormones – Sauna use can increase growth hormone and support testosterone, both essential for energy, muscle, and healthy aging.

• Reduces Inflammation – Heat triggers heat shock proteins that repair cells and lower chronic inflammation.

• Supports Heart & Brain – Regular sessions improve blood pressure, blood vessel function, and even brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which protects memory and mood.

Everyday Benefits:

• Deeper, more restful sleep

• Faster muscle recovery and reduced soreness

• Healthier skin and detox support

• A calmer mind and natural mood lift
