Are Saunas Good for You? The Surprising Health Benefits!

Saunas aren’t just for relaxation—they might have surprising health benefits! 🔥

Alex Dainis explains how sitting in a sauna can raise your heart rate, lower blood pressure, and even mimic some effects of exercise. Scientists are studying how heat exposure impacts cardiovascular health, arterial stiffness, and blood lipids. But how strong is the science, and who could benefit the most?

In this episode of Everyday Awesome, we dive into the research behind heat therapy and its potential effects on heart health. Some studies suggest that sauna sessions could help those with high blood pressure or difficulty exercising by providing cardiovascular benefits similar to light physical activity. But more research is needed to understand how these effects apply to broader populations.
