Do you want to live more years? Sauna!

Go to a sauna and you will achieve greater longevity . People of the male sex who periodically go to a sauna come to live longer and healthier, significantly reducing the risk of heart attacks . These statements are derived from a study developed in Finland and published in the United States by the journal JAMA .

The studies carried out
In total, more than two thousand men aged between 42 and 60 years were studied. In conclusion they obtained that those who did go to the sauna two or three times a week, their risks of heart attacks decreased by more than 20%.
Even this percentage can be higher if you go four or more times a week. The sauna also reduces the risk of death due to diseases in the coronary arteries.

The necessary time in the sauna
According to the study, the duration of sauna sessions may also be important for a possible longevity in male people . If you stay for less than eleven minutes inside a sauna , the risk of dying from a cardiac complication is 7% higher than those who spend more than eleven minutes but less than twenty minutes; that is, the longer in a sauna (with moderation and control), the lower the health risks .

However, the scientists who participated in these studies consider it necessary to carry out more research to determine more accurately the relationship that could exist between sauna sessions and cardiovascular health.
