In a recent viral video, a doctor shared the surprising benefits of spending 15-20 minutes in a sauna every day. With over 1.1 million views, the TikTok clip caught the attention of viewers, sparking both amusement and curiosity.

The doctor explained that regular sauna sessions can have a positive impact on the aging process, particularly on the skin. "The sauna slows down the aging process of the skin," he stated confidently, emphasizing the improvement in collagen and elastic production. Additionally, he noted that the sauna helps detoxify the skin through the sweating process.

Apart from its effects on the skin, the doctor highlighted the sauna's heart-healthy attributes and its potential benefits for lung health and skin circulation. He explained that the heat from the sauna improves blood flow to the skin, releasing proteins that protect DNA and cells from aging.

Encouraging his audience to make sauna sessions a daily routine, he stated, "Every day that you do this, it is an anti-aging practice. So, get in the sauna every day, if you can."

However, the TikTok video prompted humorous reactions from users in the comments section. Many suggested that they could achieve similar effects by stepping outside in the Texas heat or sitting in their cars without air conditioning. "Free outside sauna in Houston, Texas for 6 months," one person joked, while another commented, "I live in Texas. I don't need a sauna. I need a cold plunge."

The plastic surgeon acknowledged the comical remarks by responding, "Might as well," when a viewer asked if humid Texas summers could be considered a sauna experience.

While the video garnered attention for its light-hearted banter, it also provided valuable insights into the potential benefits of regular sauna use for skin health and anti-aging. With increasing interest in wellness and anti-aging practices, individuals may choose to explore the incorporation of sauna sessions into their daily routines.

It is important to note that consulting a healthcare professional before making any significant changes to one's lifestyle is always recommended.
