Estrogen may shield premenopausal women from hypertension, new model shows
Women entering perimenopause and postmenopause have a heightened risk, with about 41% developing high blood pressure after menopause. A mathematical model published in Mathematical Biosciences indicates estrogen’s vasodilatory effect is the primary protective mechanism in premenopausal women. The model also suggests that common antihypertensive drugs could compensate for reduced estrogen after menopause.

Using the sauna after aerobic exercise improves VO₂ max more than training alone. People who performed 30 minutes of cycling and then sat in a sauna for ~15 minutes afterward saw greater gains in their VO₂ max after 8 weeks of training compared to those who did the workout without sauna. There’s also emerging evidence for strength training, with studies showing greater increases in markers of anabolic signaling associated with muscle growth with post-exercise heat exposure. The sauna has several health benefits. But it's also a powerful tool to amplify the body's adaptations to both endurance and strength training. Clip from my recent appearance on @ThomasDeLauer
