Saunas May Help You Live Longer

Post by MachineGhost »

Hmm, I wonder how this relates to recent research showing that IR-A (infrared radiation, between 760nm and 1440nm)) induces skin photoaging and skin damage.

[quote=http://news.discovery.com/human/health/ ... 150212.htm]Sweating it out on a regular basis in saunas is something that the Finns, Russians and many other people particularly of cold climate cultures have sworn by for centuries. And now science has proven there may in fact be some life-extending benefits to the temperature extremes of the sauna.

For the study, published in JAMA Internal Medicine, researchers from the University of Eastern Finland, Kuopio, followed a group of 2,315 middle-aged men (42 to 60 years old) from eastern Finland. They then checked in on the men after 21 years to learn how many had died and from what causes.[/quote]

I think it just cooks the vodka out of the Russians and Finns.  Like healthful basting.
