Zweet je jezelf oud? Dit kan de sauna doen voor dementie

Regelmatig in de sauna? Dan leef je misschien wel langer. In deze aflevering duiken Tom en Alexander in het zweet om te ontdekken of sauneren de kans op dementie én hartproblemen echt verkleint.
Tom test vier dagen lang verschillende sauna’s, van Finse hitte tot infrarood licht, terwijl dokter Alexander de claims ontleedt:

🔥 Sauna (infrarood) helpt met spierherstel
💧 Afvallen en detoxen door zweten
🧠 Sauna verkleint de kans op dementie en Alzheimer
❤️ Sauna is goed voor je hartgezondheid

Het antwoord hoor je in aflevering 4 van Lang Zal Je Leven.
