Regular exposure to sauna heat triggers a range of physiological adaptations, increasing body temperature, blood flow and heart rate. Regular use may support cardiovascular function, circulation, relaxation and post-exercise recovery, while intense sweating is a natural mechanism of thermoregulation.
Of particular interest are long-term studies in which more frequent sauna use has been associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality, highlighting heat exposure as an interesting practice within the context of health and longevity.
