Ice Isn’t Everything: How Sauna Benefits Your Body

Blog
Written By Heather Watterworth

You know I love the ice, but I also love the heat! The For The Love Of Ice studio is equipped with a 25 person custom steam sauna that is an essential element of the contrast therapy offering. If you’re not ready to take the icy plunge, there are also HUGE benefits to spending time in the sauna.

By being in the sauna for 20 minutes only 2-3 times per week at temperatures 71℃ plus, you will:

  • Reduce your risk of a stroke by 62%

  • Reduce your risk of a heart attack by over 51%

  • Reduce the likelihood of dying from a cardiovascular event by 27%

And if you can be in the sauna four times/week, you can reduce the likelihood of dying from a cardiovascular event by 50%. That’s some serious health benefits!

Join me at the studio and get your sweat on!

Sauna sessions are available at the FTLOI studio. A 3 hour max session is $60.
