Benefits of the sauna for firefighters and everyone else!

According to Dr. Rhonda Patrick. Here are some of the amazing benefits that the sauna provides to the human body.

● Improved cardiovascular mechanisms and lower heart rate

● Lower core body temperature during workload (surprise!)

● Higher sweat rate and sweat sensitivity as a function of increased

thermoregulatory control

● Increased blood flow to skeletal muscle (known as muscle perfusion) and

other tissues

● Reduced rate of glycogen depletion due to improved muscle perfusion

● Increased red blood cell count (likely via erythropoietin)

● Increased efficiency of oxygen transport to muscles.
