Pratiquer régulièrement le sauna sec à haute température

what it claims

Practice dry sauna bathing regularly at 93 °C for 20 minutes per day, followed by rehydration with mineral-enriched water, in order to maximize longevity and support heart health.

The impact of dry sauna heat on heart health and overall vitality is based on very interesting scientific data. A famous Finnish observational study, the KIHD cohort led by Dr. Laukkanen and published in JAMA Internal Medicine in 2015, followed more than 2,000 participants over two decades. It shows that regular practice of 4 to 7 sessions per week lasting more than 19 minutes is associated with a dramatic improvement in life expectancy and cardiac fitness. These observational data were confirmed for both sexes in another 2018 publication in the journal BMC Medicine. Nevertheless, presenting this practice as an absolute guarantee against cardiac risks is a slight exaggeration, as these observational studies do not replace randomized clinical trials (RCTs). It is highly likely that regular practitioners of this ritual lead generally healthy lives as well. Finally, the recommendation to drink mineralized water is an excellent piece of common-sense advice to compensate for electrolyte loss through sweat, but it is not specifically linked to the longevity benefits highlighted by the cohort studies.

Even if every other cause of aging were eliminated, irreversible somatic mutations in neurons and heart cells (which don't regenerate) would still cap median human lifespan at roughly 146-194 years, according to a recent mathematical model.

Strength training has benefits for women beyond aesthetics — it reduces the risk of aging poorly and losing independence.

Not all recovery methods are equal: the fundamental pillars (quality sleep, appropriate training volume, and sufficient nutrition) far outperform trendy gadgets like the cold plunge (which may hinder muscle gain) or the sauna, which are merely secondary bonuses.

Other advice in the Register that leans on the same research.

Regular sauna use (especially dry sauna) is associated with better cardiovascular longevity — but the claim that jumping into cold water right after "undoes" that benefit, or that icing your testicles protects fertility, are untested extrapolations layered on top of a real association.

Dry Finnish sauna is the best-studied form for long-term cardiovascular benefit, at several sessions a week; but the claim that sweating clears microplastics from the body has no source — it's a leap from a study about heavy metals, not microplastics.

There's a real mechanism behind part of this idea — heat trapped by tight underwear affects male fertility — but stretching it into a universal "anti-aging" habit (circulation, inflammation, skin barrier, hormones, deep sleep, for everyone) goes well beyond what the research shows.
