So I think compared to nowadays, modern days, where we don't have that much time, we prioritize differently. And people are always asking me, well, how do you make room for all that?

Yes, you can look at it in that sense, because it could be for people who are older, who are not... really don't want to maybe do a run or maybe don't have, I mean, maybe are not physically capable of doing a run, then a sauna is something that's going to help on your cardiovascular system as well.

15 minutes per day or just once a week, it's going to help you exercise actually up to zone two, a zone two workout. So we can see where people cannot really do the workout. Then a sauna is something that mimics at least a zone two exercise. on your cardiovascular health. So it's so close too.

So if you can even do both, do a walk, you can tell your mom, keep doing your walks, go to the sauna and sit there for 10 minutes, 15 minutes, or just 10 minutes, actually, because you need to get adapted to it just very slowly. And the older you are, the more difficult it is actually to adapt to cold and heat because your vasoconstriction, your vasodilation needs to get adapted as well.

Not the same elasticity because the endothelial cells on the inside of our veins are not as good as contracting and dilating. And we don't have that many of them when we get older. So we need to increase that slowly. And in order for them not to get dizzy or pass out even, we need to make sure that they adapt very slowly. So the older you are, take it very, very slowly with the sauna.
