I previously reported the decreased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease with frequent sauna bathing (Age Aging 2016 Dec 7) now comes a new study that reports that frequent sauna bathing is associated with a decreased risk of stroke.
In a study of 1,628 Finnish adults without a known history of stroke, compared with people that took one sauna bath per week, the risk of stroke was 14% lower in people with 2 to 3 sessions and a whopping 61% lower risk of stroke among folks with 4 to 7 sessions per week.
