Saunas and Mitochondria.
You may have heard the benefits of healthy Mitochondria but what are they ?
The size, number, and quality of your mitochondria determine your energy-producing capacity in everyday life. If you’ve got very few and small mitochondria, you won't feel as good, and won’t be as energetic. It is estimated that 80%+ of the diseases of modern lifestyles, such as diabetes, cancer, and heart and blood vessel disease, are directly caused by mitochondrial dysfunction.
But what has this got to do with Saunas?
It all comes down to Hormesis or short term stress if you like, lets call it short term positive stress. In this case heat!
When you stress an organism ( you ) it makes a demand on your Mitochondria, whenever something is placed under short term stress it will grow and strengthen as a result. This is a very good thing when it comes to our Mitochondria.
Mitochondria are the “energy-producing factories” of your cells, the entities that create the energy to sustain life and thrive, and are foundational to better health.
Imagine flip flopping from heat to cold just long enough to activate that hormetic stress. Your Mitochondria and you body will thank you.
