DREAMCATCHER in the sauna

You had better wear this cloth
/ But, wait a second
[Fansubs by Little Sloth] Hi~
/ We were wrong, we were wrong I'm not gonna do it Please film it only above my legs I'm not gonna do it~ That's not what I expected... I can understand this jjimjilbang.
But the theater must not be fake, right? She must book the tickets Actually I didn't expect about jjimjilbang It's... Totally....
By the way, the funny thing is that
it's actually hot here It's really hot. It's hot like in a red clay chamber I have never been Jjimjilbang, so what is it? I'm not doing it Please do not film my legs Hey, let's say hi Hi, My name is SuA
/ One, two, three Dream of me, Hello, This is Dreamcatcher What is this?
/ Is it really a Jjimjilbang? It really went to far Some memories are coming up in my head now Some memories...

You should take off your shoes before enter
a Jjimjilbang
/ Raise your hand if you expect this They are too bad She said "You maybe walk around at Coex
in these clothes" So I said "Is it kind of a penalty?" Let's play a Tray Karaoke Yoohyeon, sit down
/ Sit from the back Sit please It's such a feeling of betrayal! Raise your hand if  you planed this project You don't have a sheep head? I'll wear it vertcally To disobey her! Me looks like a cook? Am I wearing it right?
/ Yes is it 77`C because we are seven? Is it right? Deabak In fact, the manager said yesterday
we were going to go to Jjimjilbang to film vlive So I said "Why we go to Jjimjilbang"
and she said "I just have wanted to film
at a Jjimjilbang" So we believed we really were supposed to go to
a Jjimjilbang
/ I couldn't know why we go to a jjimjilbang with make-up on
/ But, by the way, I have watched that kind of video So I thought we would do like that But the theater must be true? She said it's all for Dreamcatcher, right? Wait, wait, May I tell you something horrible? "Pocketmon capture" said they are fooled too Just when we are on the way to
the fashion week Manager unnie said on the phone "Isn't it good to visit the Jjimjilbang where
Dalshabet has visited?" It's enough salty without salt Is it heaven? I love here It's warm A massage chair is over there We play a game and choose one to sit on
the massage chair Game? What game do we play? Timing game!
1 / 2 /3 /4 5 / 6 I'm eating now In Korea, you need to have a good sense of wit Do you know timing game? Ah, we didn't explain about timing game to her
yet Then shall we play another game? Another game? Dong, what timing game is is.... Is that.... When someone does... We are 7 people right now and among 7, someone says one! Then another says two! Three!
And we shouldn't speak at the same time and
even at the last time So you failed.

Go Start! You show late You show late, unnie
/ We do it again It's dong You were destined to be picked up Let me bring you to the massage chair Dong, have some special treatment Who massages her? Dong can choose including staffs just get hit by the members Then... She said "Get hit" by the members What would Dong's choice be? You want to live in an easy way JiU may make some fun honestly... Unnie, you know I massage quite great
/ It's scary She lives easily, by the way level 3 Let me introduce a special masseur.
How about that?
/ You don't have to Syeon unnie?
/ Yes Siyeon is expensive so that she barely massage Because it makes her tired
/Ok.

But don't film my legs Don't film them Yes? What? You can massage her
/ Where do you get a stitch? Don't you know the word "Stitch"? Where do you feel pain?
/ Here
/Here? Does it hurt?
/ No, it doesn't It's good
/ It's good? Really? I'm sorry, I will put it on you Tell me just one area where you get a stitch My back
/ Your back? "Siyeon is nailing now" nailing? Dong, you will hurt your hands,
clear away your hands This area Does it hurt?
/ Is it good? Totally
/ Who do you want to recommend it? Who do you want to recommend? To Gahyeon Wow, miss Handong, you are..
/ They said Handong, almost broken It doesn't break that so easily Whose drink? May I have it?
/ No, you may not Shouldn't I go if I lose a game? Dong, recommend you So it goes to every each one No, at most two So what will I do now? Who want to massage Gahyeon? Oh, me! I just feel like doing it Gahyeon
/ yes Do you have any things to say to me?
/ I love you unnie I love you Dami unnie Where may I massage? My shoulder
/ Shoulder?
/ Right shoulder "JiUangel" said "hit Gahyeon hard!" It's too bad that's her
/ "..." Said "Dami, are you gonna kill her?" Was it good?
/ Yes It's very good, it feels like my shoulder is softened Sit Because we are on a diet, we should eat lots of eggs
/ "Our the youngest, you need to lose your weight It's too cold here, May I name here Ice room?
/ Is there a ice room here? Let's call this Gzone... This zone a ice room
/ Gzone? That's what I used say when I was young Wasn't it used for game IDs?
/ Gzone user Guys, say it Everywhere is ice room except this zone Do you know our new song coming up? This is it. We almost spoiled We've already spoiled I think this is too hot Who ate this white? Your flesh has just cut off Are you OK, Yoohyeon? It's because of April fools' day Actually we are supposed to go to a Jjimjilbang
and theater This is the Jjimjilbang and... The theater is....
/ Maybe that would be...

The theater was a lie Yesterday,
we even voted which movies we would see We were voting, and "Decide by ten o'clock tomorrow,
or we can't book tickets" I chose movies very seriously checking ranks, reviews, and scores... We even woke up at the midnight and voted... At 4oclock I said I was really want to see Scallet unnie "Nuclear fist in Masang" I'm the "BuryingAlive" in Masang I'm the "Fire Fist" in Incheon Yes,
And she is the "BloodOcean in Deagu" "BloodOcean in Deagu"
/ You are talking that because it's April fools day? No, we aren't
You wanna see something? "Happy" said "I just came here and felt
something like goosebumps" This egg must be delicious "Please make some battle about lying
for April fools day" "Battle of lying" I can't lie for I'm so pure Why are you sitting like that?
Did you just fart? Guys, there is no food delicious There it is here What lies should I say? I said I would try breaking an egg with one hand and the egg became like this So I'm piling it now to eat it Do you wanna try an egg? Is it an examination period
when we make comeback? Midterm exam period?
/ Really?
/ Cheer up! Break everything up! Take an exam and see us too you can do both, guys You must be good to be at a theater, right? One part is broken Staffs... They are sitting in a row
/ It's hot! You don't peel well "Leegiyeon" said she is coming from Deagu
to see the showcase "Ohmysunshine" said "Dami is not a peeled egg,
but she is baking an egg" Dami looks like she is really in a Jjumjilbang By the way, this is really a jjimjilbang Yes, this is a jjimjilbang Student guys, your brain goes bad
if you stay long in a jjimjilbang Really?
/ Yes How long had you been in there? I had been living in a Jjimjilbang "Hungrytodie" said "Is the famous jjimjilbang
in Gangnam right here?" Yes, this is the famous jjimjilbang in Gangnam! Come here to Happy jjimjilbang! You all have no sense
/ Try it again Come here to happy jjimjilbang!
/ Come here!
/ You shouldn't say that You have no sense! Really Only this one was true You have no sense...

Massage me please My back is not good
/ We will make a showcase in Japan Yes, we will make it in Newyork, so please come No, we make it at the same time, because
we have lots of bodies We can do some art of doppelganger Manager said ... What do we call it? Said video arcades are there So I said "There are also video arcades there?"
Then she said "This is a secret yet, I shouldn't have told you it" She is really a great actor Who can we trust now? Trust me There is chase me in a pump game It might be fun
/ Is pump something we use our feet... No we use our hands Someone is saying why aren't we sweating
in a jjimjilbang Jjimjilbang is a little....
/ My nose runs My nose runs "No, we use feet" Yes, we use feet to play a pump This mat suits us now Don't lose your mind Have you been a Jjimjilbang with other members? No / Yes
/ What is it? Someone says yes and someone says bad Haven't we been there?
/ Yes, we have, you know we have been Yes, I have been there "Tell me why you are wearing jeans
in a jjimjilbang" We regard fashion as important
so we can't enter here without jeans
/ Makeup is also necessary They are asking what did you want to see Movie? Beauty and the beast Minyoun and the beast? Handsome man and the beast Please laugh for me today Let's play a motivating anmals game Suddenly?
/ Yes, I like to We are in Animal red clay room Why aren't you doing it after you suggested
it first? Then I will be a wolf What do you want to be dami?
/ Turtle Ok, You can pass Sloth
In my phone book, Dami is registered as sloth I will take a giraffe OK
/ Does giraffe make sound? What do you want? Dong? "JiUJam" said "It's getting no funny" I admit She wants to be a cat
/ I already choose cat You still have many animals Do you want something to be?
/ Snake, snake You can do like this Is there someone who knows why they are
doing so? You know we are making comeback.
Yes How do you feel now? I feel so good It would be way better if we went to movie Do you even know "Guemsnagcheomhwa"? We are gonna make comeback,
How are you feeling?
/ I feel good Why do you becoem so quiet? Because I'm really disappointed You see it? "Let's see a movie" Do you want to do anything else?
/ I want to go to Korea Jjimjilbang Have you been Korean jjimjilbang? She's never been there so we shouldn't
make her experience wrong jjimjilbang "This is how it looks like" Actually we have to sleep in a Jjimjilbang We need wood pillows We have one. There is a wood pillow They say we shouldn't eat 2 eggs or more
a day Why?
/ I already eat two eggs Does that mean we should it only one egg
a day? No you can eat at most two Why are they so arguing? Please say in this way "Shouldn't eat more than two eggs"
/ Or three eggs or more Two eggs a day shouldn't be bad They sell a pair of two eggs at a grocery store

/ We walk with shoulders I almost get my shoulder dislocated So I had some rest Is it true?
/ Yes What I say today is all true Please believe it
/ "LoveJiU" said "I got a seat right at the end of seats.
Please see me there" We will see all the seats one by one Every one of the seats.. We will take care of all Dance the sholder "Inho" said "I should practice the shoulder dance" They saw the teaser hundred times Then tell me what comes up at 1:30 It's not long as 1:30...
/ So you only saw Jodonghyeuk? You saw jodonghyeok hundred times,
so you have to see us million times
/ You must be a fan of Jodonghyeuk? "Leegihyeon" said "Staffs who clean up the stage will love it" "please dance wave dance" I wanted to joke with members
on this april fools day I had joked!
/ About what?
/ What did I joke about? You just did it to me?
/ That you  did a joke must be the april fools joke "SuA's ramen hair is cute" Hey, Look at me! How many times are you doing it? This is a Hipi(?) Perm I love the word "ramen hair" Dami did you solve the Production puzzle? Yes, I did. I already had solved it It was so easy. I solved it so soon
What is the Production puzzle? At my birthday, they give me the puzzle
made of my picture Really?
/ Deabak Hey, I pop it out and it doesn't make sound
anymore Isn't it because you pop it out? We are gonna finish it now
/ Now? It must be a joke again? You will turn on later, right? We would go to a theater later
/ Yes, "We turned it on again~ Hi~"
/ Yes, it can be! I'm not getting fooled anymore
/ It can be! "Change your clothes" "We will go to movie~"
then we might do the vlive April fools day fools so many people makes people imagine anything Let's finish it Did you experience that?
When you were in school Yes, that's what I wanted to say
/ In the school...

If it is coed school, We change the whole class There were boy's classes and girl's classes apart How was the jjimjilbang? It was satisfying.... And I'm happy now Since I didn't go to Jjimjilbang It has changed a lot I've never been in 77`C room Can't we be cooked in 77`C ? We must melt to die It was fresh to be in this jjimjilbang Though I have lived hundred years, Nothing goes fine today... I knew we really go to there But it is fun though Because it is april fools day today This is my first time to be in Jjimjilbang It is very different to what I imanged It was fun Really?
/ Yes, it is satisfying My thought? It was disappointing
I really love to see movie And the movie just disappeared!! You must think I would give up then But I will go to movie Wouldn't we go to movie?
/ We really could take the vlive again She chokes with her emotion
/ So you don't leave but wait I saw the katalk at the early morning There were hundreds of massages from
fan manager and manager So I read everything and voted for the movies

Dr. Jari Laukkanen on Sauna Use for the Prevention of Cardiovascular & Alzheimers Disease

[Rhonda]: Hello, everyone. I am in Finland, sitting here with Dr. Jari
Laukkanen. I'm a little excited to be sitting here with
Jari because I've talked quite a bit about his research involving using saunas and how
that has been shown to improve cardiovascular health and also improve overall longevity.

And, to my knowledge, this is actually...Your
work is the first research that I've actually seen in humans to show that using the sauna,
you know, can improve longevity. Maybe we can start off by talking about this
study that you did and published about a year ago, I believe, in "The Journal of American
Medical Association," "JAMA," looking at the use of the saunas and sauna frequency and
cardiovascular-related mortality and overall mortality rate. So can you tell us a little bit about the
study itself? [Jari]: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Thank you. Our study is based on middle-aged population
from Eastern Finland. And at baseline, we measured the use of sauna,
how many times per week and how long time per one session and what was the temperature,
and on the basis of this information, we have studied the association between the use of
sauna and fatal cardiovascular outcomes and mortality. And in this study, we found, really, that
sauna use was inversely associated with the risk of fatal coronary heart disease events
and all-cause mortality.

And, after assessment for other risk factors
which have been also measured in this big population-based study, there were still significant
association between the use of sauna and these outcomes. [Rhonda]: Yeah. So if remember correctly, your study showed
that men that used the sauna two to three times a week had a 27% lower cardiovascular-related
mortality compared to men that used it one time a week. And men that used the sauna four to seven
times a week actually had a 50% lower cardiovascular-related mortality than men that used the sauna one
time a week, and that is very robust.

So you followed these men for 20 years? [Jari]: Yeah, yeah. The total follow-up time was 20 years, and
we have annually measured new outcomes, and we have followed carefully from baseline until
the end of the follow-up. And, yes, the risk reduction was really, really
obvious and clear, yeah. [Rhonda]: And you said you adjusted for other
risk factors meaning, like, obesity, you looked for people...Like obesity, smoking, alcohol,
cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, these sort of factors? [Jari]: Yeah.

[Rhonda]: If I remember correctly, you also
looked at socioeconomic status and physical activity, which is important. So these were all...The data's reflective
really of sauna use not, you know, because people that use the sauna tend to also exercise
more so, you know, you have to correct for all those other possible confounding factors,
which you did. So the cardiovascular rate of mortality, were
there certain...Like, were you measuring all sorts of different ways people can die from
heart failure? Like coronary artery disease? Heart attack? Are there certain, like atherosclerosis? Was that looked out? Was it multiple, different types of... [Jari]: Outcomes? [Rhonda]: Outcomes.

[Jari]: Yeah, yeah. There were different kinds of outcomes. There were heart-related like coronary heart
disease mortality and, also, sudden cardiac death also one of the outcomes. Then we have overall cardiovascular disease
death as an outcome and then, also, all-cause mortality.

And there was significant association with
all these outcomes. [Rhonda]: Right. We'll get to all-cause mortality in just a
minute, but I kinda want to talk about the cardiovascular-related mortality. It's so important because I know in the United
States, heart attacks are, you know, cardiovascular disease is the number one killer followed
up by cancer and then respiratory diseases, but Alzheimer's disease is actually climbing
up.

In Finland, I believe, cardiovascular disease
is also the number one killer, correct? [Jari]: Yeah. It is still the one. Yeah. [Rhonda]: Yeah, so, you know, if you can do
something that lowers your risk by, you know, 50%, I mean, that's very significant.

What do you think? I have my own sort of, you know, I've done
some reading on how the sauna affects in different vascular functions, but you're a cardiologist,
so do you have some sort of...Do you speculate on some of the mechanisms by which using the
sauna can improve cardiovascular health? [Jari]: Yeah. Yeah, we have been studying also these mechanisms,
which can be explained to our findings. And one of the most important is the blood
pressure because sauna use, long-term sauna use, can decrease blood pressure level. Actually, we have studied in the same population
and found that there is a reduction of incident hypertension among those who are using more
sauna compared to those who have only, let's say, one session per week.

And so blood pressure is really one of the
most important factors which can explain the findings. [Rhonda]: And do you know why sauna lowers
blood pressure? Do you? [Jari]: There may be many reasons. We know that it can balance the autonomic
nervous system as well and, also, it can improve the vessel function. [Rhonda]: Endothelial cells? [Jari]: Yeah, endothelial cells.

And another thing is that sauna may have some
effect on arterial stiffness, and compliance of arteries can improve after long-term sauna
use. [Rhonda]: Wow. So a lot of these parameters that you just
described all also known to be affected by cardiovascular exercise, right? [Jari]: Yeah, yeah. [Rhonda]: Aerobic exercise.

So I have to mention that, like, you know,
as someone that uses the sauna, when you sit in the sauna for, you know, a long-enough
period of time, your heart rate starts to elevate, as if you were doing cardiovascular
work. In fact, I think it's something like 100... [Jari]: Twenty or 150. [Rhonda]: 150 beats per minute.

[Jari]: Yeah. It is quite high actually. It's something like a moderate level of physical
activity. [Rhonda]: So you mentioned the duration, the
time people spent in the sauna also was an important factor on the robustness of lowering
cardiovascular-related mortality.

So people that stayed in the sauna, I believe
it was longer than 19 minutes had the most robust effect compared to men that stayed
in less than 11 minutes, something? [Jari]: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, the risk reduction can be seen among
those who more than 20 minutes per session in sauna. They was a risk reduction among those men. [Rhonda]: Yeah.

I'm always sort of hesitant to tell people,
like, they ask, you know, "Well, how long should I stay in the sauna?" Because on the one hand, you don't want to
stay in too long, but you also don't want to not stay long enough to get these important
benefits, these cardiovascular benefits. So do you have any, sort of, parameters or
guide that, you know, someone that's trying to figure out how long to stay in the sauna
in order to get these sort of benefit, how long they should stay in? Probably depends on temperature as well. [Jari]: Yeah, yeah. On the basis of this study, we found that
20 minutes could be enough, but at the moment, actually, we're exploring more carefully what
could be the time that's needed to stay in the sauna, and it can't be that very short
time, let's say 10 minutes or 15 minutes.

It's not enough to get all these health benefits,
maybe. So we try to clarify what is the optimal time
to stay in sauna. [Rhonda]: Great. So you're working on those parameters right
now.

What was the average temperature that the
sauna that these men were using? How hot was it? [Jari]: It was 79 celsius. [Rhonda]: Seventy-nine degrees Celsius? So about 20 minutes in a 79-degrees Celsius
sauna was what was important for, at least in the context of the lower cardiovascular-related
mortality and also all-cause mortality as well? [Jari]: Yeah, yeah. That was our primary finding. [Rhonda]: And what was the type of sauna that
these men are using? Because this is Finland, right? [Jari]: Yeah, yeah.

It's Finland, yeah. For us it is clear that it is Finnish dry
sauna. Yeah, it's relatively dry. [Rhonda]: Relatively dry? So they weren't doing that...

What's it called when you dump that water
on? [Jari]: Lyly? [Rhonda]: Lyly. So that when you make the humidity you do
the lyly? [Jari]: Yeah. Yeah. [Rhonda]: Was that also...

[Jari]: It was also allowed in the use, yeah. [Rhonda]: So the all-cause mortality is also
interesting because your study showed that, again, there was a dose-dependent effect where
men that used the sauna two to three times a week had a 24% lower all-cause mortality
than men using it one time a week. And I believe it was men using it four to
seven times a week was a 40% lower all-cause mortality? [Jari]: Yeah, it was...Yeah, yeah. We're calling those dose-response relation.

[Rhonda]: Right, yeah. So you're getting ready to publish...A paper
was accepted that you're going to publish, which will probably be published by the time
this video is published, so that's really exciting. So you found that sauna use is associated
with lower Alzheimer's disease and dementia. That is extremely interesting to me because,
you know, of my interest in heat shock proteins.

So the sauna, one of the most robust molecular
mechanisms, you know, that happens upon heat stress. So when you heat-stress the body, what happens
is that you activate a signaling pathway called heat shock proteins. They play a very important role in maintaining
the three-dimensional structure of a protein, which is important, obviously, for protein's
function, but it's also very important for the half-life of the protein. And when the three-dimensional structure of
a protein becomes misfolded because of damage that's occurring, you know, damage that, damage
their DNA, the same damage that does that damages these proteins, you know, by-products
of normal metabolism.

Reactive oxygen species, by-products of, you
know, immune activation, these things are damaging our proteins, our DNA, our cells. But heat shock...So when those proteins become
damaged, they misfold, and they don't get degraded properly. So when this happens in brain, you know, proteins
can start to then aggregate and form these plaques, protein aggregates and plaques. So probably the most well-known one is amyloid-beta
42, which is associated with Alzheimer's disease.

But interestingly, heat shock proteins, what
their function is inside of the cell is to actually repair a misfolded protein so that
it maintains its proper three-dimensional structure again. So they're basically preventing the protein
aggregation, and this has been shown in multiple studies in rodents, in lower organisms. There's been many, many studies, associated
studies looking at heat shock proteins and neurodegenerative diseases. So there is a lot of interest in how heat
shock proteins may be a therapeutic target for preventing neurodegenerative diseases
like Alzheimer's and also Parkinson's disease.

And I've always thought, you know, the connection
between knowing the sauna activates heat shock proteins, I mean, that's their name, you know? They're activated under conditions of stress,
particularly heat stress. So I think that would be a very interesting
thing to look at. [Jari]: I think there some interesting findings,
some acute changes after sauna use. [Rhonda]: After just a single session? [Jari]: Yeah, single session, in vessel and
vessel function.

[Rhonda]: Oh, wow. [Jari]: And also heart rate. There is a gradual increase in heart rate
during the sauna, single sauna session. [Rhonda]: Yeah, I've noticed that myself.

[Jari]: Yeah, yeah, yeah. When you stay, let's say, 15 minutes in sauna,
it's quite easy. It's not demanding. But after that, it becomes more and more demanding
to stay in sauna, and your heart rate will increase.

[Rhonda]: I know there is a bunch of endocrine
factors that increase quite dramatically upon just even a single sauna session, like, for
one, growth hormone. [Jari]: Growth hormone, yeah, it is, yeah. [Rhonda]: Growth hormone goes up, like, 200%
or 300%, like, even after a single sauna session. [Jari]: Yeah, it's quite much, yeah, yeah.

[Rhonda]: And growth hormone, you know, it
plays an important role in preventing muscle atrophy, which is also linked to longevity,
right? The more muscle mass you have and more muscle
strength is associated with lower all-cause mortality, so that would be interesting to
see if that's also related. Do you have any thoughts on whether or not,
like, someone who is doing physical activity like doing some kind of a workout exercise,
whether they should use the sauna before or after their workout? [Jari]: This is very interesting question
to see if there's even more clear effects on vessel function and so on if you have an
exercise before and then you go to sauna. Actually, we're normally doing that quite
often in Finland. [Rhonda]: So you normally do the sauna after
exercise, after a workout? [Jari]: Yeah.

[Rhonda]: Yeah, that's what I do as well,
you know? And if you think about it too, it's also the
perfect time to get that growth hormone boost, you know, because you've just worked your
muscles, so you need that repair, and also the exercise primes your muscles to take in
the growth hormone, take in actually IGF-1, which is downstream of growth hormone. So your IGF-1 goes in muscle tissue and also
into the brain. So the exercise sort of primes that IGF-1
that's released downstream of growth hormone from the sauna to go into the brain, where
it plays a role in actually helping BDNF, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, in growing
your neurons. So it's always sort of a question, like, do
you do it before a workout or after? And I've always been inclined to do it after
a workout, but it would be interesting to know if there's, you know, specifically, if
it's affecting, you know, vessel function or things like that.

[Jari]: Yeah, yeah. We're very interested to see the effects on
vessel function after exercise which is combined with sauna and what are the parameters, what
are the values after that? And because there are also some evidence that
maybe after a strength training, you know, it can be even that the arterial stiffness
may increase a bit maybe in some cases. [Rhonda]: Oh, really, after strength training? [Jari]: So if you go to sauna, you can relax
and improve your vessel function also. [Rhonda]: Wow, that's interesting.

So maybe better to do the sauna after strength
training also because... [Jari]: Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, yeah, this is, we have no... [Rhonda]: You're speculating.

[Jari]: Speculating, yeah, yeah. [Rhonda]: You're speculating, of course. Yeah, yeah, I mean, but it's okay to speculate. Speaking of speculating, so something else
that I find very interesting is the effect on mood.

Actually, it's what got me interested in the
sauna in the first place. So when I was in graduate school, I was very
stressed out, you know, exams and failed experiments and lots of pressure, so I was using the sauna
and it noticeably improved my mood and helped me deal with stress. It helped me deal with the anxiety I was experiencing. And there is a lot of, sort of, speculative
reasons, I think, that's possible, but one is related to cardiorespiratory fitness.

So there's actually been studies, one very
recently done, published, in a very large sample of people, I believe it was like a
million people, looking at cardiorespiratory fitness and depression. And the study found that people with poor
cardiorespiratory fitness had a 75% increased chance of being...Have been, you know, diagnosed
with depression. So I'm sort of interested in...Clearly the
sauna is affecting, you know, cardiovascular health. And do you know, like, cardiovascular fitness
would be, you know, one way to...A measurement of cardiovascular health.

Have you ever looked at cardiorespiratory
fitness? [Jari]: Yeah, we have been measuring, also,
cardiorespiratory fitness in our study also in this new study path we have measured, and
we can see if there's association between the fitness, and sauna use, and these different
parameters. Yeah, yeah. [Rhonda]: So that's ongoing right now? [Jari]: Yeah, ongoing in our population-based
study, although we have adjusted for the level of fitness, yeah, there are also independent
associates between the use of sauna and outcomes. [Rhonda]: Oh, cool.

So but you're saying, you know, in addition
to people, obviously, that are physically active, you're adjusting for that, and they're
trying to look just specifically at how the sauna may, in and of itself, affect cardiovascular
fitness. [Jari]: Yeah, itself. [Rhonda]: That will be really great. I look forward to that.

The other one which I won't get into too much
detail because I don't want to talk so much, but it affects endorphins. So sauna releases endorphins. Endorphins make you feel better. [Jari]: Feel better, yeah, yeah.

It's relaxation, yeah, yeah. Also, in Finland, I think quite many use it
for that purpose. They want some relaxation, you know, after
working day and so on. It's like a happy to end your day and go to
sauna and after that you feel more relaxed.

[Rhonda]: Do you think that may also have
to do with the improved longevity? Because stress is also linked to longevity,
and so if it's something that's lowering stress and making you more relaxed, that seems like
it goes hand-in-hand with longevity as well. [Jari]: Yeah, it can be. There are studies showing the role of autonomic
nervous system and cardiovascular diseases, how they are related together. And also in our study we want to explore how
the sauna may have effect on heart rate and heart rate variability, which is one of the
measures that can be used to assess the autonomic nervous system and its function.

[Rhonda]: Oh, great. Having been in Finland now for a few days
and having the privilege of going to The Finish Sauna Society and also hanging out with some
other friends here in Finland, I've had a chance to experience the sauna culture, the
traditional smoke saunas, and also the other, you know, dry saunas and the Lyly. [Jari]: Lyly, yeah. [Rhonda]: But what I also noticed is that
almost a 100% of the Finnish people that use the sauna, after the sauna, like to go run
into a jump into a cold lake or the Baltic or something cold, very, very cold.

And they do this, you know, several times. I mean, it seems to be a very normal part
of Finnish sauna culture. Is that accurate, you would say? [Jari]: Yeah, yeah. Many people are using.

I know it, yeah, yeah. [Rhonda]: So I have a question on whether,
you know, what is the safety? Is there any safety issues? Because I've read a couple of case reports
where because you're going from hot sauna where vasodilation is occurring and then you're
going into cold where vasoconstriction is occurring, norepinephrine is being released
and vasoconstriction is occurring. There have been a couple of documented cases
of, like, coronary artery spasm, I think it's called. Maybe do you think there is a potential risk
of going from hot to cold in terms of people with maybe a pre-existing heart disease or
something? [Jari]: Yeah, among those patients who have
coronary heart disease and, especially if it's not stable condition then you have to
be very careful.

You cannot do that because there can be a
spasm in the coronary artery, so it can be harmful, yeah. [Rhonda]: But for the most part of the population,
it seems to be pretty safe. I mean, I've done it before, and it feels
really good. I mean, you feel amazing after doing the hot
and cold.

Also interested in if it blunts any of the
positive effects, but what's interesting is I've seen that cold also activate heat shock
proteins because heat shock proteins are part of the stress response, you know? It's called hormetic stress. Are you familiar with hormesis? It's like a little bit of good stress where
it's not too much stress, but it's enough stress to activate all of these genetic pathways
that help you deal with stress. Well, heat shock proteins are one of those
genetic pathways. And so cold is also a little bit of a hormetic
stress, and exercise activates heat shock proteins as well.

But heat robustly activates them, very robustly. It's good to know that both the hot and the
cold are activating some of the same good genetic pathways. So maybe you're not negating all the good
stuff you just did with the sauna, right? Maybe there's synergy. [Jari]: We would be really happy to investigate
those possible mechanisms between sauna and memory disease, because we have been thinking
through, you know, more like improve cardiovascular system, and circulation, and these, if they
have a effect on the memory diseases because some cardiovascular diseases and memory diseases
are sharing the bit similar risk factors.

[Rhonda]: Yeah, like vascular dementia. Of course, yeah, blood flow is absolutely
linked to dementia. So there's probably multiple mechanisms by
which the sauna... [Jari]: Multiple mechanisms, yeah.

[Rhonda]: Man, it's great. We gotta get the word out there, you know,
more research, more people using the sauna. I think that's... [Jari]: Because I think nowadays there are
so many studies showing the positive effects of physical exercise on these outcomes and
vessel function and so on, but there are quite limited data on sauna use, and warm exposure,
and these similar outcomes, so there are space to do this kind of research.

[Rhonda]: Yeah. You're like, you know, an explorer in new
territory, and no one is really doing this, you know, and it's really great. I'm very glad that someone is, you know, so
please keep up the good work. [Jari]: And in the best case, of course, we
can combine these positive effects in, like, exercise and sauna.

[Rhonda]: Exactly. Are you going to look at that as well? Are you going to see if there is a synergy? [Jari]: Yeah, yeah, we try to do something,
yeah. What is also important for public health level
that also we have to emphasize that there many other factors in addition to exercise
and sauna, there are other also. Of course, we have to take care of other risk
factors like blood pressure, lipids, smoking, obesity in addition to that.

[Rhonda]: Yeah. Cool. Well, Jari, thank you so much for taking time
to speak with me and I know you're on Twitter. I follow you on Twitter.

Do you want to say your Twitter handle name
because it's your name backwards, I think? [Jari]: Yeah. You're welcome to follow, yeah. [Rhonda]: Can you spell it out for people? [Jari]: Jari Laukkanen. [Rhonda]: Right, but your Twitter handle is
LaukkanenJari, I think.

So, yeah, L-A-U-K-K-A-N-E-N-J-A-R-I. That's your Twitter handle, yeah. Okay, excellent. Well, thank you again, Jari.

[Jari]: Thank you. Thank you so much. [Rhonda]: Special thanks to Dr. Laukkanen
for meeting with me, and for even making special allowances for my unpredictable schedule while
I visited Finland, allowing me to drop in his home late in the evening for a quick conversation.

DAE-37Real Finnish sauna experienceFI

This has been our sleeping place and if you look 50 metres to the right you see Reindeers. We said goodbye to the Swiss... ...To the Swiss. Since then we spent five days in a hotel lobby, because there was good Wlan, there was electricity and we've edited some videos and wrote subtitles there.

And it started raining four days ago and it has been raining for three days straight. And now everything is so wet and cold although it's not raining anymore but the air so so humid that the tent won't dry. I think the tent has been wet for five days now. We manage somehow that the inside stays dry but the end of the bed linen is a bit wet.

I don't know if it will dry anytime soon. I can hold my bread with honey like this because the honey is so viscous
that it won't drip in a day. And it's quite hard to get it out of the packaging too and the butter that we keep in the car is so hard in the morning that we can't spread it. And our olive oil has thickened.
That's our olive oil.

It has been clear once. It looks like honey it is still fluid. And if you put this in a pot,
for example a spoonful in the middle of the pot, it just stays there and only when it gets warmer it floooows everywhere. We bought an already sliced bread
and almost finished it and they gave us three ends, one, two and this also is an end.

I don't know how that can happen. Dani has got new gloves to close the roof tent. Because it rained so much and the fingers would freeze otherwise because it's so cold and wet and it really hurts. We have towels that haven't dried for five days.

And the tent hasn't dried either, as I said, that's really a problem as it's moulding now. It's wet all the time. It's incredible but it just rains so much
and we can't leave it open during the day. We try to towel it down but...
And we have to fold it during the day.

Let's see
if we can get something against the mould in Turku. Exactly, but why Turku? We're in Kuusamo now. Today we'll drive in the direction of Forssa,
where we'll arrive tomorrow, where we'll pick up Venla, that's the backpacker whom we met
in Montenegro and who lives in Turku. (DAE-5 1/2) Exactly, in DAE-5 1/2 you can see how we met.

We'll stay some days in her apartment, do our laundry, take a shower, I'm so looking forward to it, and today we'll just drive and tomorrow we'll meet her. We've driven the whole day and it has been raining for some time now and our wipers did their job until they just stopped. Whatever we try, nothing works. We'll take the next exit and see what we can do.

My first guess is that the fuse of the wipers opened, and I'll have a look at that now. Fortunately it's very simple to access. I think it's number 9, or is there anything better? No. On the right side, the second from the right.

Damn, it's fine. (Oh.) [That might have been the fuse for the wiper fluid] There's no way we'll drive in the rain at night. We drove so much today, we're almost in the South of Finland. The plan was that we drive as long
as the rain hasn't stopped so that we can set up the roof tent when it's not raining.

And now, 50 km before the rain would have stopped, the wipers stopped working. They're just there, vertically, and don't do anything. Karin thinks that she will be ill, I'm so tired but I don't want to go outside, because I don't want to get wet and cold again. And it's (a new low) a new low, yes, we reached our optical and hygienic lows, it's time for a shower, we have no fresh clothes left, so we can't even change our clothes, so everything that's wet stays wet.

Or is exchanged to dirty clothes. And... Oh our roof tent is moulding. Top.

It won't stop raining now the forecast says it rains till tomorrow morning. That means we'll get ourselves together
and open the tent, and go to bed. Good night. Good night! The mould is becoming more and more but there is good news.

Whoohoo! The horn is working.
[See end of Defender Tour 2.] Yesterday evening as we arrived we found this, we're quite close to the street
but the place is a bit hidden, and that's a cut ignition lock, it says 'off, on, P, and ignition'. No idea whether it's from a car or a moped, but it's a real ignition lock, so there was a moped, or even a car, stolen here. We're in Forssa now, where we pick up Venla, and we'll free some space for her. Dani parked the car so near to the bushes
that he can't go out now.

I thought that I won't need to get out. But I forgot that Karin can't lift the water canisters
because she's oh so ill. The Finnish summer outfit. Venlas partner has an education
in craftsmanship of the Middle Age,
if we understood that right.

And today is a special day
where you can have a look at everything. There's also a forge,
and it looks so cool that I had to get the camera. When it's finished it shall look like this. Karin what are you doing?
I'm talking to an onion.

No, my ear is hurting and that should help. Hello? The onion. Yes, hello? It's a sharp pain in the ear and it hurts rather much. Okay yes, I'll get some rest, okay, yes, I've already got an onion on the ear.

Okay, thank you, bye. We took a shower, it feels so nice, (we're reborn). Hey! It's so nice here and her flat is so cosy and we can stay for as long as we want maybe. Good morning from Turku, or Turku, we're in the city now and the weather is so nice.
(There's a city festival today.) It's the 100th birthday of Finland,
so the festival is a bit bigger than usual.

And there are many things to see. Venla is working today, she's volunteering.
(So today you'll see less Defender, more city!) There are several divers in the water
and they are cleaning the river. That's almost a whole container with bikes only. Within 2 h they brought all these bikes out of the river.

We're in a public park
and there are so many sport facilities, there is a huge artificial lawn, there's something for runners, and to do the long jump. And there are a rake and a shovel, for the public. You can simply use it. Very nice.

We're home again, we've spent the day in the city, we've been to the festival, and enjoyed the sun and the city. Now we're home again and doing our laundry, in the evening there will be a firework that we'll watch. We're on the way to the city again because there's a firework that we want to watch and afterwards we'll go to a bar maybe. We're wearing warm clothes so that we won't freeze when we're not moving.

Good morning Karin,
good morning Venla. The Finnish passport of Venla has a Moose that is walking when you... How do you say it Karin? A flicker book. ...

When you flip the pages. That's a special security feature. It's really cool. We're in the car again, on the way to the sauna.

It's a public sauna next to a lake, we'll go grocery shopping first
so we can grill some food there. There is wood at the sauna but you heat it up yourself. So we'll have a real Finnish sauna experience. Venla has started the fire in the sauna and there is a hut full of fire wood and I'll bring some down to the cabin.

And there's even a sleigh
so you can bring the wood down in winter. Our camp fire is burning too, and the sauna is getting warmer. We've got 70 degrees and 75, 74 % humidity. The sauna is ready and we are too.

We finished the sauna and the coal is ready to grill. We have chocolate bananas,
Finnish cheese with jam, and haloumi and sausages. It was a really nice day and we want to come back here,
let's see if we can make it. We're back in the flat, we had dinner, and we're so exhausted from the sauna, I think we've been to the sauna four times
an three times in the lake.

We're very tired and will go to sleep now. And tomorrow morning we'll see what
we'll do tomorrow. Good night. Many thanks to Ville for the song!.

AWKWARD Sauna Stories for 1000 Subscribers!!

Aaahhh! What an amazing surprise for a Friday. I was just walking around, and I checked my
phone,  and I saw that I had made it to 1000 subscribers. Aaahhh! Thank you. Thank you all so much.

Thank you
so much. This really made my Friday. So as promised back in June, now that I've
hit 1000 subscribers, I will make that video confessing my most embarrassing and awkward
adventures in the naked German saunas. So without further ado then, lets get into
it! Hey everyone! Im Dana, and youre watching
Wanted an Adventure Living Abroad.

As I mentioned in the first sauna video, here
in Germany people go completely naked in the saunas, and most of the time they are mixed-sex, so both men and women are naked in the  same area. The sauna experience is definitely something
Ive grown to love, but at first... There were a few surprises. My very first German sauna experience was
when Mr.

German Man took me to a magical place called Therme Erding, which according to Wikipedia
is the largest thermal bath complex in Europe. Apparently, 4000 people visit every day. Thats
a lot of naked flesh! We bought a day pass and then we headed into
the changing room. We.

As in, Mr. German Man and I together. Because there was just one
changing area for everyone. There were some little stalls though, sort of like in a department
store dressing room, so we ducked into one of those to change and then stashed our belongings
in a locker.

We were in our bathing suits at this point,
because first we went over to the water park side, where they have indoor water slides, and you have to wear your bathing suit in that section. But then, after we had our fun in there, we
headed on over to the sauna section. I ducked back into the changing room to grab
something from the locker while Mr. German Man waited for me out by the warm pools.

And
on the way out, I was kind of rushing and I. Came around the corner in the changing room
and ran smack right into this  completely naked old guy! As you can imagine, I was pretty startled
and apologized profusely as I bolted for the door. I got out and started telling Mr. German
Man how I had just collided into a totally naked guy, when I suddenly realized, my Mr.
German Man was standing there butt naked too! Were in the sauna section now, he
explained.

No bathing suits allowed. I glanced around and realized, yup, I was
the only one standing there with my suit on. So off it went! And that was probably the
worst part; actually taking my bathing suit off. Like, removing it while people were watching.

We headed into the first sauna, which was
a small room with wooden benches all around the sides. Youre not supposed to just plop
your naked butt onto the benches; in fact, Im pretty sure its not allowed, so we
laid our towels out on a bench and then sat down. There were a few other people in there
with us, and you just basically tried not to stare at their naked body. Or at least
thats what I focused on doing the whole time.

Or not doing. It was nice and warm, and really quite enjoyable. A few of those types of saunas later, Mr.
German Man led me into a room that was considerably warmer in temperature. He figured I could
handle it because I was from South Florida.

But this time we werent just popping into
a sauna and then leaving whenever we wanted to. The room filled up until we were literally
sitting body to naked body, and then a guy came in and started fanning the room with
a towel. The circulating warm air and the wall to wall
bodies quickly went to my head, and I started wondering what would happen if I passed out.
I decided it might not be so bad because there were enough people all around me to break
my fall. But still, not ideal.

Of course I could leave if I really had to,
but we were on the top rung of the wooden benches, so Id have to climb over a bunch
of other sweaty naked people to get out, and theyd told us at the beginning to try our
best not to leave because opening the door would let in the cold air and ruin it for the
other 30 people in there. I did make it. But just barely. I was seconds
away from bolting when the guy finally stopped waving that towel and let us out of there.
Mr.

German Man made a beeline for the water bar in the nearest pool and grabbed me several
bottles of water to down. I felt better after that, but I still took it easy for the rest
of that visit. By my second time to a German sauna, I basically
felt like a pro. We went to a different place, but the atmosphere was pretty similar.

Inside the actual sauna areas and in the pools,
people are uncovered and naked. But walking from place to place, the people generally
wrap a towel around themselves. At the first sauna most of the women wore the towel up
above their chest. But at this second sauna I noticed women walking with the towel wrapped
just around their waist, like the men.

Not wanting to seem prude, I went ahead and
did the same thing. When in Rome, right? Everything was going great, and after a couple
hours of sauna going, we decided to get a drink. Right next to the pools where people
were swimming around totally naked and right next to the main walkway where women were
walking around topless, was this little area of seats where you could order coffees or
smoothies and such. Mr.

German Man and I took a seat and started
looking at the menu, when suddenly the guy working there rushed over, his face flushed
red with embarrassment. Maam you cant sit here exposed like
that, he gasped. Now, he had actually said that line in German,
and my German understanding at the time was not great, so he had to repeat himself in
broken English, at which point I yanked the towel pretty much up to my chin, and then
satisfied with my now  appropriateness, he left. I was mortified.

I had just gotten used to
being naked, and then he comes up and reacts as though my naked form is so inappropriate
and shameful when there were literally men and women walking right by our table. I could
have reached out and touched them!  But Im pretty sure thats not allowed either. Okay, so those were the big stories for this
video, but before I go, three more things about the German sauna. First of all, those warm pools I mentioned,
yeah everyone just swims around totally naked in them.

Gave new meaning to the breaststroke.
Im sorry, that was really corny I know, but I couldnt help it. Secondly, I was pretty shocked the first time
I went to read that the minimum age to partake is 16. I guess I just figured it would be
18, but to the Germans being naked at the sauna is not one bit sexual. Its all about relaxation.
But still, 16, really? And thirdly, while I did feel pretty comfortable
going to the sauna with Mr.

German Man, a lot of Germans are also comfortable going
with friends and some even with co-workers! I draw the line at co-workers. I dont wanna see
those people naked. No thank you. So my question for you is, if youve been
to a sauna, how was your experience.

And if you havent, would you consider it? Please let me know in the comments below. Thanks so much for watching and subscribing.
