The Science Behind Sauna Benefits
A recent study published in the Journal of Human Kinetics has shed light on the impressive health benefits of Finnish sauna sessions, this study particularly looking at benefit of sauna for athletes and fitness enthusiasts. Let's dive into some key findings:
The study found that a single Finnish sauna session can significantly increase white blood cell count, especially in trained individuals. This boost in immune cells suggests that regular sauna use could help strengthen your body's natural defenses against illnesses.
Athletes experienced a more pronounced increase in white blood cells, neutrophils, and lymphocytes after sauna use compared to non-athletes. This indicates that saunas may be particularly beneficial for athletic recovery and overall immune function in those who train regularly.
While sauna sessions initially elevate cortisol levels (a stress hormone), the study suggests that regular use may lead to better stress adaptation. This could mean improved relaxation and stress management over time.
The heat stress from sauna bathing causes an increase in heart rate and improved blood flow, similar to moderate exercise. This can contribute to better cardiovascular health over time.
