Researchers from Finland during the experiment found that regular use of the sauna reduces the risk of acute cerebrovascular accident by more than 60%.

Scientists in Finland analyzed the medical records of 1,628 men and women aged 53-74 and determined whether they were at risk of developing cardiovascular pathologies.. The researchers then divided the volunteers into three groups.. The first group visited the sauna weekly, the participants of the second group - 2-3 times a week, and the volunteers in the third - up to 4-7 times a week..

In the course of the analysis, the scientists found that the risk of developing a stroke compared with the first group in volunteers from the second group decreased by 14%, and in the representatives of the third group - by 61%..

According to the researchers, the experiment did not accurately establish a causal relationship from the effect of sauna on the risk of strokes, but the mechanism of positive action may include lowering blood pressure, affecting the autonomic nervous system, stimulating the immune system and strengthening the function of the heart and blood vessels of the body..
