Can regular sauna use support brain health? Physician Dr Kunal Sood reveals that it can lower risk of dementia

Regular sauna use may lower the risk of dementia, according to physician Dr Kunal Sood.

A Finnish study of about 1,400 people found that those using saunas 9–12 times per month for 5–15 minutes per session had a lower dementia risk after 39 years.

The optimal sauna temperature for brain health benefits is between 80°C and 99°C; temperatures above this range may increase risk.
