Sweating in sauna might help keep brain healthy: Finnish study

"I feel relaxed after sauna, and it's a place where I can have a nice conversation with my friends. The social aspect is the best thing about sauna, when you get older," Hannu Pitkanen, a senior member of the sauna society, told Reuters.

Oh those Finns and their sauna time. Ya gotta admit though it is a great place to relax and start up a conversation with a 1/2 naked pretty lady who just did a workout along side you. Of course the conversation usually ends badly when I ask them if they would like to continue the conversation in a nice cool shower with me. I just don't get it...you would think a nice refreshing shower would be the obvious next date. Wimminz...

So Finnish study says that something they do all the time is good for the brain? Seems bias.

Nobody else was willing to do the study. Finns were like sure...I'll go in the sauna 7 days a week for you!

Those Finns are a bunch of scallywags.

I'm really thinking I need to check out Finland.
I just need to find out when they have 85+ degree days over there, or else it's a no go.

Everybody wants to go to Finland now..first Corbi and now Billy. Do y'all understand that the country's gonna be full of people like me!?

You have your wires crossed jeff.
It's those stinking aussies that were kicked out of England of all places.

Well.. I'm pretty sure some of my ancestors originated from there.

Well now it all makes sense!

Not that I'm proud of it.

Interesting. I actually hate when people try to talk to me in the sauna. I even hate when they talk to eachother. It's like "STFU I'm trying to relax here!" But neither is as annoying as someone who talks on the dang phone in the sauna. And even THAT pales in comparison to the fat guys who can't really handle the sauna, so they are doing tons of hard breathing like they are dying. Please don't have a heart attack on my watch, it's hurting my ability to relax.

You don't have to worry about that in Finland. Nobody talks to each other there. Going to sauna naked with strangers is o.k, but talking to them?... no way!

Is it the sauna or the time taken to de stress

Prefer a steam room personally

My gym has neither

[EjnarKolinkar]

There is a guy that uses sauna at my gym always has lots of sweats, cap, shorts, towel around neck. And he does lots of calistenics and stretching in there. I think he watched Vision Quest one too many times. Dude thinks he is losing weight or something in there. I sauna pretty often though, whenever I can make the time after a WO.

Just goes to show how dumb the poms are. They kick all their criminals to this country abundant with beauty and natural resources and stay in a cold rainy sh;thole. And now they are all falling over themselves to move here

That's not how to do it guise.

In Finland, you're not allowed to go sauna with any clothes on. It's not hygienic.

I think some people just come to the gym to sit in the sauna. Then they go home and tell the wife they went to the gym for a workout. You would think that some day when their body never changes that the wife would start wondering why?
