"Saunas appear to have a blood pressure lowering effect, which may underlie the beneficial effect on stroke risk"
The report in the journal Neurology is the first to assess the relationship between saunas and strokes, and was based on more than 1,600 people who were followed for an average of 15 years. Those who spent time in the sauna four to seven days a week showed a 61 percent lower risk of having a stroke than people who went just once a week, it said. A benefit was also apparent for those who took saunas two or three times a week, with a 14 percent lower stroke risk than those who took saunas once per week. https://www.afp.com/en/news/205/freq...dy-doc-14i12v1 Might have to convert a room into one! FYI, Sauna is the most common, if not the only Finnish word used in English. Growing up in Minnesota and Wisconsin one could always find a sauna. Last edited by Rockstar; 05-02-18 at 05:35 PM. |
