Saunas are amazing for your health
This ancient practice has been shown to have benefits on cardiovascular health as well as brain health
Taking the sauna up to 4x a week is linked to 40% lower all-cause mortality, 65% lower Alzheimer's risk, and 63% lower heart disease mortality (Laukkanen 2015; 2018)
The key is to raise your body temperature and mimic hyperthermia
Exercise can also do that
but there is a form of sauna therapy called Waon therapy from Japan that's been shown to have benefits on heart health as well
An infrared sauna blanket is a fast and easy way to cause hyperthermia

Thanks Slim, good video. I’ve seen infrared blankets lately and they are reasonably priced. Would you consider them a good alternative?
Yes, absolutely
If increasing body temperature is the point, what’s the difference between an infrared sauna blanket and just taking a long hot shower?
Because the body temp goes higher with infrared and it penetrates deeper into the tissues
Does the additional sauna benefit (63% reduction in riskl)apply to people who already exercise regularly and have good cardio-respiratory fitness, or just to regular people who might not exercise as often and benefit from the cardiac benefits provided by sauna?
