The Finnish Sauna Study The Finnish Sauna Study Hey legend, welcome to Protocols, where we share weekly protocols for longevity, cognition and cellular health.  Our goal is to give you weekly upgrades that can help you live 1% better and 1% longer, read in 4 minutes or less. Let's get into it… This week: The Finnish Sauna Study Between 1984 and 2005, researchers in Eastern Finland did something unusual. They followed 2,315 middle-aged men for over 20 years. Not to test a new drug, but to track one simple habit: how often they used the sauna. What they found made doctors rethink how we approach longevity. 20 years. 2315 Participants. Astounding results.  When the results were published in JAMA Internal Medicine (PMID: 25705824), they weren't subtle... Read that last one again: 40% less likely to die from any cause during the study period. And then came the follow-up analysis on the same cohort (PMID: 27932366). Another key benefit of regular sauna use? 65% lower risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease These aren't incremental improvements. These are the kinds of results that pharmaceutical companies dream about. Except this wasn't a pill… It was heat exposure. They Key Variable: Frequency This represents a dose-dependent relationship. It wasn't about cranking the heat to unbearable levels or staying in until you nearly passed out. What made the difference was showing up consistently. (For context: The men in the study used traditional Finnish saunas at an average temperature of 174°F, and most sessions lasted around 20 minutes). The Biology of Sauna Use When you sit in high heat for 20 minutes, your body responds as if you're doing moderate-intensity cardiovascular exercise: Heart rate climbs to 100-150 beats per minute Cardiac output increases by 60-70% Blood vessels dilate to increase circulation Heat Shock Proteins activate to repair cellular damage Endothelial function improves (the flexibility of your blood vessel walls) You're training your heart and vascular system.. without the wear and tear of high-impact exercise. Over time, this repeated cardiovascular stress makes your physical operating system more efficient, more resilient, and more resistant to the diseases that typically take men down in their 60s, 70s, and 80s. The results are clear. If you're going to commit to one habit for longevity, this one checks all the boxes. Discover our non-toxic saunas. Happy Monday,  Warren from Heavenly Heat P.S. The men in this study didn't have access to medical-grade materials or ultra-low EMF technology. They were using conventional saunas.   Imagine what becomes possible when you combine proven protocol with zero-toxin engineering. Questions? Contact Us Here No longer want to receive these emails?
