The challenge of getting into the heat on a daily basis can be ridiculous at times. It may seem silly, but honestly, if you need a fix, a DIY sauna will work for a day or two until you can make it to the next sauna. But for the love of heat, do not subject your bathroom in your home to this daily. The homemade sauna is not a long-term solution and does not include all the added benefits of going to a public sauna, including socialization and knowledge exchange.
Long term effects of sauna – take that – long term committment to sauna. Over the course of a year, consistent heat therapy may lead to significant improvements in overall health and well-being. The cardiovascular system may continue to improve, reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke. Chronic inflammation may continue to decrease, reducing the risk of a range of chronic health conditions. The immune system may become stronger, leading to a reduction in illness and a faster recovery time when illness does occur. Mental health benefits may become more pronounced, with improved cognitive function, reduced stress, and an overall sense of calm and focus. Overall, regular heat therapy may have a profound impact on a person’s health and well-being, with benefits that continue to manifest over time.
