(Heh.)

This study is tough to interpret. Only 47 participants (only 6 of them men) split into 3 groups for 8 weeks. VO2, systolic (top number) BP, and cholesterol improved with sauna use, but confidence interval includes zero improvement (or very close to zero). Diastolic (bottom number) BP, the important one, is unchanged.
