Justin Baldoni Instagram – The sauna has become both an uncomfortable teacher and a friend for me over the last few years. There’s nothing like sitting in a 200 degree sauna, letting all the stuff you’ve been holding in come up and pour out of you, looking out at the mountains and then jumping in a cold tub. We moved to the country to give our nervous systems a break and this set up from my friends @salussaunas is literally a dream come true. I’ve heard it said that if there were such thing as a magic pill that someone could take to increase overall health and longevity decrease all cause mortality it would be as simple as getting in a hot sauna either at home or a local gym a few times a week. Data shows that Regular use of sauna can improve cardiovascular health. In one study it was shown that through regular use of sauna, participants reduced their risk of cardiovascular events/stroke that led to death. I’m pretty sure it’s one of the reasons why Finnish people so often live to be 100! EFFECTS OF SWEATING IN A SAUNA: Sweating by overheating the body produces these effects: • Burns calories, and therefore assists in fat loss programs. • Speeds up metabolic processes of vital organs and endocrine glands. • Places demands upon the cardiovascular system, making the heart pump harder and producing a drop in diastolic blood pressure. • Creates a “fever” reaction that kills potentially dangerous viruses and bacteria and increases the number of leucocytes in the blood, thereby strengthening the immune system important for fighting colds, flu, and cancer and bolstering resistance to infections. • Excretes toxins from the body, including cadmium, lead, zinc, nickel, sodium, sulfuric acid and cholesterol. • Promotes relaxation, thereby lending a feeling of well‐being. And these are just a few of so many other beneficial properties! I personally try to do it at least 3 or 4 times per week. #barrelsauna #saunatherapy #dailydetox #selfcare #salussaunas⁠
