And then if not more.
And then three days a week, you want to do the weight training slash resistance training.
So three days a week, you want to definitely incorporate that.
The two is new for me in the last couple of years.
It's heat therapy, hot, either sauna or hot yoga or something that gets my core body temperature up for 20 to 30 minutes.
What does the data say about that?
Yes.
So sauna...
We have Finnish data.
So in Finland, almost everybody uses a sauna and their healthcare system is great.
They have data on hundreds of thousands of people and they have great data on the association of sauna use and cardiovascular disease on brain health and on longevity.
So what do you think, what is the physiology here?
Why is me sitting in a hot box going to be helpful?
So when you raise your core body temperature, something called heat shock proteins get produced.
And when heat shock proteins get produced, it's usually after about 20 minutes.
They think that it's not like immediately, but when your body's starting to really warm up in the core and these heat shock proteins, it's protective for our brain health, for our cardiovascular health.
And they don't even know exactly why that would be.
Some people think it's like exercise where when you exercise, you get this, not only are you moving your muscles, but you get the secondary benefit on longevity and heart health.
And so it's a secondary benefit, anti-inflammatory benefit.
So that's the mechanism of action.
