Heat Therapy and Sleep: Keys to Cognitive Longevity
Regular heat therapy, performed 6-7 times weekly in small doses, can significantly reduce mortality rates and enhance cognitive health by increasing brain-derived neurotrophic factors (BDNF), promoting better memory retention and lowering the risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s. For optimal results, heat exposure should total 57 minutes weekly, ideally spread over three or more days. Cold exposure can be effectively substituted with cold showers if access to cold water or saunas is limited. Additionally, prioritizing sleep is essential for cognitive function, with morning exercise shown to improve sleep quality. Implementing these strategies can lead to smarter sleep and better overall brain health.
