Sauna increases BDNF, which would indicates a subsequent increase in neurogenesis since BDNF boosts neurogenesis.
heat stress also increases neurogenesis hypothermia in conjunction with exercise increases the expression of brain derived neurotrophic Factor bdnf even more so than exercise alone
4–7 sauna sessions per week, 20 minutes at 80°C+, reduce cardiovascular mortality risk by 40% over a decade.
Regular sauna use raises BDNF and improves verbal memory in older adults.
Sauna protocols only generate the longevity effect when sessions exceed 30 minutes.
Hot-tub bathing yields cardiovascular benefits comparable to traditional Finnish sauna at matched core-temp dose.
