Like air conditioning is great to sleep in, I'll be honest.
And you live in Miami, so, you know.
It's one of those things where science has caught up to ancient customs.
People have been doing saunas for thousands of years, literally.
Sauna-like practices.
And many cultures around the world have these sort of hot spaces that people have gone into, you know, as like a daily ritual.
So, you know, it's sort of like with alcohol or wine, right?
We've been making wine for thousands of years, fermenting beer, does something that we kind of like, right?
There must be something to it.
So science has caught up to that and found that across a variety of systems and contexts, raising your body temperature a little bit.
you know, a couple degrees Fahrenheit can do some good things to your physiology and then to your even cellular biology.
So just for example, when you get into a hot sauna or when you go out and, say, ride your bike in Miami,
Your heart rate accelerates, right?
Because your body's trying to cool itself.
It's trying to maintain this temperature homeostasis.
So your heart rate speeds up.
You have all this blood flow surging beneath the surface of your skin as it tries to send the hot blood to your skin to radiate heat and then to start sweating.
So you get sort of a cardiovascular benefit from that.
You get a...
a vascular benefit from that, your blood vessels dilate, right?
