Scientists from Finland have spent over twenty years on a study during which tried to discover the relationship between the sauna and the health of the person.
Beneficial effects of sauna on cardiovascular system
Many people are mistaken when they think that high blood pressure and those at risk of this disease, absolutely can not go to the sauna. Actually, frequent visits to the sauna has beneficial effects on blood vessels and even reduces blood pressure.
Scientists for 22 years and watched the health of more than a thousand participants, who at the age of 35-50 years agreed to participate in the study and already at that time had high blood pressure within 140/90 mm Hg. St.. All of them were divided into three groups: the first parties I went to the sauna 1 time in 7 days, second – 2 times a week, in the third – every day.
At the end of the study, the researchers invited all participants to undergo a full medical examination, which found that the risk of hypertension in people visiting a sauna daily has decreased by 46%, while those who went to bathe 2 times a 7 days by 24%.
Of the 1600 odd participants of this study, only 15% became hypertensive during the past 22 years, lasted until the experiment. All the rest depending on the frequency of visits to the sauna blood pressure remained normal and potential hypertension receded into the background.
What disease prevents regular use of the sauna:
– cardiovascular disease, including heart attacks and strokes;
– obesity;
– diseases of the respiratory organs;
