Saunas can improve health
Using a sauna can be comparable to a workout, at least in terms of how it affects our blood vessels. This is the view of Professor Hans Hägglund, who has written a book summarising the state of research in this area. He now also has his own study underway, which suggests that sauna users feel healthier than those who do not use a sauna. But what do we really know about the effects of ice baths? The film features Hans Hägglund, Adjunct Professor of Haematology at Uppsala University, Senior Physician at Karolinska University Hospital and ‘sauna doctor’ at the Swedish Sauna Academy.
