A recent study in Finland suggests frequent sauna bathing may reduce the risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Over the last 20 years, the Kuopio Ischaemic Heart Disease Risk Factor Study (KIHD) analyzed the effects of sauna bathing on the risk of Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia among 2,000 middle-aged men living in eastern Finland. Based on their sauna habits, the study participants were divided into three groups: once a week, two to three times a week, and four to seven times a week. Men taking a sauna four to seven times a week were 66 percent less likely to be diagnosed with dementia than those taking a sauna once a week. The association between sauna bathing and dementia risk has not been previously investigated. Previous results from the KIHD study have shown that frequent sauna bathing also significantly reduces the risk of sudden cardiac death, the risk of death due to coronary artery disease and other cardiac events, as well as overall mortality. Sauna bathing may protect both the heart and memory.

Sometimes it's difficult to differentiate between the best hot tubs and something that looks like a quality spa , but is really a bust. As a good rule of thumb, if it seems like a too-good-to-be-true deal, it probably is. Below are a few points on how to spot a hot tub spa that may be a little subpar. Inflatable spas are by far the lowest of quality, because, unlike the best spas, the outside shells are not built to endure a lot of bumps and abuse and will eventually puncture. While inflatable hot tubs are cheap options, and they are easy to take down and move, they don't come with the jet streams and other features necessary to meet any therapeutic needs. One thing to look for is where the components, especially the pumps, are made. Stay away from products that have been imported from outside of the U.S. where manufacturing of these parts is not as closely regulated. Often these cheaper parts run hotter and use more electricity, both of which will end up costing y...

How does a hot tub or sauna affect HBP?

Hot tubs and saunas pose no risk to healthy people as long as they are not misused. People with high blood pressure should tolerate saunas well as long as they are not experiencing a  hypertensive crisis . Heat from hot tubs and saunas cause blood vessels to open up (called vasodilation.) Vasodilation also happens during normal activities like a brisk walk. If your doctor has told you to avoid moderate exercise, you should also be careful when considering hot tubs and saunas . People with high blood pressure should not move back and forth between cold water and hot tubs or saunas . This could cause an increase in blood pressure. Drinking alcohol and using a sauna isn't a good combination either, so don't mix the two.
