Did you realize that stress leads to approximately 120,000 deaths annually? Even more alarming is its contribution to the deaths of nearly 2.8 million workers each year. These statistics are alarmingly high for a problem that can be easily prevented. In the United States, over 800,000 individuals succumb to cardiovascular disease annually, according to the CDC. This accounts for 1 in every 3 deaths, with approximately 160,000 occurring in individuals under the age of 65. So, why aren't we advocating more vigorously for solutions? How can we work together to reduce these alarming figures?

Athletes are well-acquainted with the advantages of sweating, from cooling and detoxifying the body to promoting clear skin and preventing infections. However, saunas can also provide a sweating session while simultaneously reducing inflammation. A medical study discovered that using a sauna four to seven times per week can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease-related death by up to 58%. Additionally, sauna heat assists in widening blood vessels and enhancing circulation, which in turn reduces blood pressure.
