We are all now so aware of the benefits of cold exposure but did you know the huge benefits of heat exposure? Have a look at my infographic below with just some of the benefits regular Sauna can produce.

Research shows a 20-30 minute session up to 4 times a week can illicit these benefits but even a single 25 minute sauna has been shown to lower blood pressure compared to baseline.

Hot baths are another form of heat stress and have been also been shown to improve blood pressure after a single hot bath at around 105f.

Additional positive benefits of alternating hot sauna and cold water immersion have been shown on cardiovascular health when performing this alternate thermal stress protocol:

12 minutes in Sauna at 194f

4 minutes at room temp

2 minutes cold immersion at 50f

Repeat 3 more times
