Health Benefits of Using a Sauna 🥵⬇️ by @dr.greggpugh ⠀ "This is a non negotiable for me - I love using the sauna not only for its physical health benefits, but also for its mental benefits: This is why YOU should be including sauna in your routine: ⠀ ✔️Increases Recovery - It does this by boosting HGH (Human Growth Hormone). HGH helps the repair of all tissues in the body from bone, muscle and even brain! Research on sauna users have shown significant boosts in HGH up to ranging from 2-16 X above baseline! ✔️ Increases Aerobic Endurance - Recent research showed that sitting in a sauna for 20-30 min was almost as effective as going for a run, without the impact on your knees! A winning combination of sauna post workout might be the way to go! ⠀ ✔️ Anti-Inflammatory - When we sauna our levels of CRP (Inflammatory marker) go down. It's believed this may be due to an increase in IL-10 which is a potent anti-inflammatory protein. ⠀ ✔️ Improved Focus - Using a sauna regularly increases a protein called BDNF (Brain Derived Neurotropic Factor), This protein helps with growth of new nerves (neurones)! HIGHER levels of BDNF have been shown to reduce ANXIETY and DEPRESSION! ⠀⠀ ✔️ Strengthens the Immune System - This is due to numerous factors but the main one being Heat Shock Proteins (HSP). HSP help boost the function of our mitochondria. ⠀ ✔️ Detoxification - These are just a few things that saunas help you detox from through sweating: Arsenic/Cadmium/Lead/Mercury/Aluminum ⠀ ✔️Reduces Stress - Sitting in saunas also boost your beta-endorphins which are the feel-good hormones. ⠀ I've also noticed a profound improvement in my sleep quality. I'm easily getting 2-3 hours of deep sleep each night now thanks to using the sauna regularly. @clearlightsaunas100 has the best Infrared sauna I’ve found on the market - extremely low EMF and I use mine every day! 🙌🏽" 🙏🏽❤️ Many thanks to ✏️ @dr.greggpugh and 📸@roam.chiropractic of Edmond, Oklahoma with their beautiful Sanctuary Retreat. ⁠ For sauna pricing and to take THE SAUNA QUIZ click the link in our BIO.
