      I was going to say.. pretty sure the Studies out of Finland clarified that the average Household has roughly access to 1.8 Saunas, so it's not like it's only for the Elite or Wealthy.. bit of a dishonest statement on Attia's part or perhaps he simply isn't aware of that. In the US some places have them that aren't super expensive like the YMCA, but in some places in the US generally it is Wealthy well off people.

    I sauna 3-5 time a week, as much as possible. Ever since I came back from Estonia in 2019 doing a retreat/training class there where we did sauna often I've been hooked. Since then watched TONS of videos on it from Rogan, Dr. Rhonda Patrick, and many other channels. All I know is since then I've added in Wim Hof's cold immersion and breathing and just those two alone have gotten my neck, shoulders and arms shredded... So I keep these as a constant, and mix it up with my weekly weight lifting, cardio and rowing....whatever I can do. But Sauna is awesome, just wish I could do ice baths more often with my daily cold showers.

    So stoked because my local gym is going to install a traditional sauna!! They had infra red before but there's no denying the benefits of high heat sauna rooms!

    • @RikaMakara
      @RikaMakara Před rokem +1

      Traditional saunas ARE generated by roughly 40-60% infrared, as in, far infrared (FIR). When one just says “infrared” that’s referring to far infrared. Then there’s also near infrared, which is a visible red light, but that doesn’t penetrate at a cellular level like far infrared.
      A sauna is useless without infrared. Then it’s not even a sauna. Far infrared, or infrared, is the most healing wavelength of light (albeit invisible light). So if your gym says they are installing a sauna that doesn’t have infrared, either they don’t know what they’re talking about or it’s just a steam room which wouldn’t be as healing as an infrared sauna… or it’s just a room with a heater which would be absolutely preposterous. And infrared/traditional saunas don’t produce steam so this doesn’t make any sense.
      The (FAR) INFRARED is exactly what you need from a sauna! The higher the percentage, the more healing it will be!

    I bought my infra sauna in 2011. Over ten years ago. I have used it from 2-5 times a week since I bought it when I was in my late 30s. I know it has had a dramatic effect on my overall health. Undisputeable. I look around the same age as when I bought it, in my opinion to some degree thanks to the sauna. When I was 15 in 1987 I lost my leg above the knee to osteosarcoma. A rather rare type of bone cancer that’s generally strikes young boys in the ages of 13-18 years old. I underwent a year of chemotherapy and thAt had lifelong adverse health effects like loss of hearing, tinnitus, kidney damage, heart damage and more. Thankfully I feel real good today at 51 years old, and despite the chronic damage I work out strenuously 3-4 times a week and on non workout days do an hour to 75 minutes in the sauna at 55 degrees Celsius. It isn’t quite a miracle worker, but in my case close. The past decade I have been in dialysis due to the cisplatin chemo that damaged me in many ways. Fortunately I need not remove fluid while in dialysis because I get rid of excess water when in the sauna which has a dramatic effect on heart health. Dialysis is generally very hard on the body awhen you need to remove a lot of fluid because the kidney’s are no longer producing urine. Because the sauna removes this through sweat you can say for me or someone like me the sauna is indeed a miracle worker. Sweating is healthy and a normal way of ridding yourself of excess fluid and some toxins. Therefore I would never be without the sauna. If I skip a session or am lazy for a week or two I like other patients end to remove the fluid in treatment and feel so tired and the regular I’ll side effects of this treatment. I can’t recommend sauna strong enough for kidney failure patients. It can literally help save/ prolong your life and have you looking healthy.

    I've always wondered about the observational data from Finland, or at least how it is protrayed in US-based podcasts and articles: yes, we have probably more saunas per capita than anywhere else. But the reality is that most of them, private saunas, are used 0 to 1 times a week. Communal building saunas, like in my building, can be booked once a week, and again, only a small minority uses them (you need to pay extra).
    Yes, we have saunas at public pools and gyms but it is still a small subset of the population that uses these utilities regularly and does sauna 3-4 times at week. The medium sauna visit for people in Finland is probably

    I sauna at least 5x a week. Recently I started doing more activity in the sauna - stretching, yoga and even workouts. For the workout what I do is about 10-15mins in I do 3-4 excercises - set up 40 pushups, 30 reverse dips, 30+ body weight squats and lunges onto the step. This really kicks the intesity up to another level. Sometimes I reduce the reps a bit and do 2 rounds of the exercises in a 25min sauna period. Then I'll exit to get a cold shower and come back in for another round.
    So, I'd be interested to know what kind of workout I'm getting, what zone. I've got a Polar10 monitor, could probably monitor it with that to see. Anyone have experience of doing activity in a sauna?

    Sauna 3-5 times a week 4x20 minutes. That in my calculation would be about 2 hrs at least because you need some rest between, don't you? Plus rest about half an hour afterwords - that means to me a whole morning or afternoon. AND you also work out at leat 5 times a week, also for an hour. Do you work also? Then you must have plenty of energy and time...In our (Budapest, Hungary) Turkish bath peole spend usually 3 hrs because besides the saunas and steam rooms there are also different temperatures of thermal waters. A few people go 3-5 times a week BUT they do NOT work out at all. I find the baths are tiring so I only go once week on my off work out day...and the temparature of the sauna is 72 degrees Celsius, sometimes even less...

    I live in Finland and see the sauna as more of a socioeconomic thing. That said, nearly everybody goes to sauna, people in Finland are generally well off and most houses have a sauna. The people who don't have access to a sauna are generally people who
    a) come from low income households (living in small flats, don't own a summer cabin)
    b) people who don't do any sports (really rare to NOT have a sports hobby in Finland)
    I think most people in Finland fall to the 1-2 times sauna per week. Avid sport players more than that, since it's common to use the sauna after practise. Same goes for people who have the luxury of spending time at their summer cabin, where you likely use a sauna daily. People not going at all just don't have the luxury use a sauna since they live in small apartments without one or don't go to the gym/sports center at all.
    Adding to all this, sauna'ing is done usually with friends and family, highlighting the social aspect. Quite the contrast to the average optimiser who stares at the clock waiting to be released to the cold shower😸. Cultural pride is another thing in Finns, people love to think the sauna is keeping them healthy and it's a known phenomenon that people overreport healthy habits in survey studies.

    Dr. Attia says the temperature in the sauna needs to get up to about 175 (80 degrees Celsius) for 20 minutes. Most of the saunas I have checked into, including the one I have, only gets up to about 140. So does that mean you have to stay in longer? How do you compensate for the lower temps that most saunas operate at?

    • @jgleib
      @jgleib Před 4 měsíci +2

      you probably have an infrared sauna - those only get up to about 140 and require you to stay in a bit longer... I think he is talking about a regular dry sauna which are in the 180-190 degree range. I typically do 15 minutes at 190 but the few times ive been in an infrared i'v had to stay in 30+ minutes to get the same amount of sweat..

    I didn’t hear this mentioned, and almost never do. But what about the befits from the sodium you sweat out of your body? High sodium intake is a big problem and so common, and affects all of our organs. The data shows you can lose 500-1000mg of sodium in 15-20 minute sauna sessions. Is this the equivalent of eating 500-1000mg less sodium a day? As someone with high bp, very curious.

    Steam saunas will do the same things as a dry sauna, but faster. The hot water vapor increases the rate of thermal energy transfer to the skin due to the higher mass of water vs air. This why hot humid days are less comfortable than hot dry days of the same temperature. Ultimately both increase the skin temperate of the occupant causing the downstream physiological effects. Peter is brilliant, I love him, but thermodynamics isn’t his background as far as I understand.
