The study identifies specific parameters for these benefits, including sessions lasting over 20 minutes at approximately 79°C (174°F), and suggests mechanisms involving blood pressure reduction, improved endothelial funcsummarySauna use is associated with lower risks of Alzheimer's disease and dementia, potentially mediated by heat shock proteins which repair misfolded proteins and prevent aggregation like amyloid-beta.takeaway“When you heat-stress the body... you activate a signaling pathway called heat shock proteins. They play a very important role in maintaining the three-dimensional structure of a protein... preventing the protein aggregaquote
