Longevity Benefits of Sauna Therapy

Regular sauna therapy can significantly improve longevity, with research indicating that four to seven sessions a week can lead to a 50% reduction in all-cause mortality compared to those who use a sauna just once a week. The ideal sauna temperature range for optimal benefits lies between 176 to 214 degrees Fahrenheit. Beyond mere lifespan, individuals are increasingly concerned about health span, or the quality of life during their later years. Consistent sauna use not only promotes better overall health but also encourages individuals to adopt healthier lifestyles, bridging the gap between physical exertion and relaxation.
