🔥Using a sauna to stimulate growth hormone can increase muscle mass, strengthen bones, and aid in recovery from exercise and injury. Multiple sauna sessions in a day, with intervals of heating up and cooling down, can significantly elevate growth hormone levels.

How often should I use a sauna to improve cardiovascular health?

—Using a sauna 2-3 times a week for 5-20 minutes per session is recommended for improving cardiovascular health. However, it can be done more frequently if desired, but it's crucial to stay sensible and not overdo it.

What are the benefits of using a sauna for general health?

—Using a sauna for one hour per week, divided into 2-3 sessions, can provide benefits such as improved sleep, mood, cardiovascular health, and aches and pains relief.

How does using a sauna stimulate growth hormone?
