Dom behåller sin engelska ursprungstext som du kan översätta härStudie av användning av Infraröd bastu vid Viktminskning:Författare: Dr. Imamura, et.al, Kagoshima Japan Publicering och Datum: Journal of American College of Cardiology, 2001
Syftet med studien: Att avgöra om infraröda bastubad förbättrar blodkärlfunktionen (endotel) hos patienter som riskfaktorer såsom högt kolesterol , högt blodtryck, diabetes och rökning. Denna dysfunktion representerar ett tidigt stadium av ateroskleros (åderförkalkning av artärerna).
Hur gjorde de det? De studerade 25 män med minst 1 riskfaktor. Patienterna behandlades i en infraröd bastu i 15 minuter en gång om dagen i 2 veckor.
Resultat av Infraröd Bastubehandling:
• Signifikant sänkt blodtryck
• Signifikant viktminskning
• Signifikant sänkt blodsocker
• Signifikant ökat blodflöde
• Sänkt kolesterolvärde
• Sänkta triglyceridvärden
Slutsats: Upprepad infraröd bastubehandling förbättrar nedsatt blodkärlsfunktion hos patienter med högt blodtryck, diabetes , rökning och högt kolesterol. Denna föreslår en förebyggande roll för bastuanvändning för åderförkalkning.

Title of Study
Repeated Thermal Therapy Improves Impaired Vascular Endothelial Function in Patients With Coronary Risk Factors
Authors: Dr. Imamura, et.al, Kagoshima Japan Publication and Date: Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2001 Purpose of Study: To determine whether Infrared Sauna therapy improves blood vessel function (endothelial) in patients risk factors such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes and smoking. This dysfunction represents an early stage of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). How did they do it? Studied 25 men with at least 1 risk factor. Patients were treated in an Infrared Sauna for 15 minutes once a day for 2 weeks. Results: Infrared Sauna Treatment • Significantly lowered blood pressure • Significant weight loss • Significantly lowered blood sugar • Significantly increased blood flow • Lowered cholesterol • Lowered triglycerides Conclusion: • Repeated Infrared Sauna treatment improves impaired blood vessel functions in patients with high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking and high cholesterol. This suggests a preventive role for sauna use for atherosclerosis.
