Four sauna sessions a week, twenty minutes each, around eighty degrees.

Four sessions per week of 20 minutes in a traditional sauna at 80–90°C. Repeated heat exposure triggers heat-shock proteins, lowers blood pressure, and is associated with reduced cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in long-term cohorts.

Full transcript

Four sauna sessions a week, twenty minutes each, around eighty degrees. The repeated heat triggers heat-shock proteins and lowers blood pressure — and in long-term studies, regular sauna use tracks with lower cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. Hydrate before and after, and step out the moment you feel dizzy. More protocols like this on agegen.ai. Generate your prime age!
