8. Improved heart health
It’s no secret that the heart is one of the most important organs and in order to stay in good health, it needs to be working properly. Unfortunately, whether they are due to hereditary or the result of poor diet and lack of exercise, heart conditions are not uncommon, and these conditions can be extremely detrimental to your health. If you are looking to improve the health of your heart – and your health overall – spend some time in a sauna.
Scientific studies suggest that regular sauna bathing make be as good as – if not better – for your heart than regular exercise. One study revealed that those who routinely use saunas have lower blood pressure and stiffness in their arteries than those who do not. Additionally, it was found that the effects of a sauna on heart rate are similar to the effects of exercise on the heart.
