Sauna Does Good for the Heart

A recent study in Finland has found that four times a week from 30 minutes positively affects the risk of mortality as a result of cardiovascular disease.

In fact, heat and sweat expand the blood vessels and reduce arterial pressure, forcing the heart muscle to exercise and become stronger.

The cardio-profit effect of the sauna was also documented by various studies, but it is already confirmed by the research of the University of Finland that was published in the science magazine Biomed Central Medicine.

The study in question has examined and analysed for 15 years about 1700 people aged 63. The objective was to monitor the plains' impact on heart health in view of even parallel risk factors such as tobacco, physical inactivity and socioeconomic situation. And it turns out that it makes the difference mainly in the sauna.

Those resting under steam at least 4 times a week had very positive results. The statistics collected in 15 years of study resulted in 2.7 deaths in 1,000 people from heart problems.

While the statistics do speak of 10,1 deaths every thousand people in the ranks of those who did not attend the boat.
