But just know that every time, for every time you go, you actually get your endorphin receptors in the brain more sensitive to taking that endorphin in. And that's where you build that sensitivity up. And then you feel better and better.

Yes, exactly. You almost get a little bit addicted to it.

You do get addicted, but that's because of that slow increase in sensitivity to the endorphins in the sauna. In the cold, it's a bit different. That's something else, another pathway. But in the sauna, I feel that there are many people telling me, oh, I cannot stand the heat. And I think it's just an important message to say that everybody can get adapted to it.

You just need to be a little bit patient and you don't have to overdo it, especially in the beginning. Just take it slowly and build those sensitivity to endorphins up. And eventually you'll be able to sit there 15 minutes, 20 minutes at 80 degrees Celsius, even with a little bit of water on the stones and you'll feel that steam.

And you increase your sweating rate because that's the purpose of it, right? The more you sweat in the sauna, the better you are at sweating in the sauna very early on when you sit there, the better you also are at getting that cardiovascular exercise for your heart. And that's the key to getting back to the fitness sauna study.

That's where you get that heart health because you increase that activity. heat shock proteins in the cells. You increase also something a little bit nerdy word, but it's nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is a fantastic molecule. And we can increase that in many ways, but it definitely also happens in the sauna.

So you want to be able to sit there just a little bit longer than just 10 minutes, get up to 15 minutes, but you don't have to like sit there for a very long time. I mean, more than 30 minutes is not necessary at all.
