I do 3 lots of 20 minutes with a short cool swim in between.

Have a look at the HR graph, my HR climbs steadily then at about the 20m mark starts to peak. That's when I get out and cool off.

People who regularly do sauna have much lower rates of heart attack/stroke.

For about a year I've been doing OMAD, One Meal A Day. I just don't get hungry until about 530 not matter how active I am.

Can individuals with a heart condition use a sauna, and is it dangerous?

While the use of a sauna is considered safe for most individuals, the exception is for those with unstable heart disease. For individuals with any of the following conditions, it may not be safe:

unstable angina pectoris
recent heart attack (within two weeks)
uncontrolled hypertension
decompensated heart failure
severe aortic stenosis

In addition to unstable heart disease, a sauna can be a health threat to individuals with the following conditions:

low blood pressure
dehydration
fever
acute infection or inflammation
skin breakdown (urticaria)

If you have any of these conditions, talk to your doctor about the use of a sauna as the heat and/or excess sweating may worsen the underlying condition.

So heat plus humidity helps people live longer? Hence why so many oldies like Queensland!
I’m a bit like Bobby, lucky to last 5 mins in a sauna.
I don’t mind those infra red saunas though.

Thanks - the secret of good health is what we eat.

Mustard.

I just bought a new jar today.

The same as this one:
