Chronic heat exposure improves insulin sensitivity
RCT demonstrating that 10 days of heat acclimation (45 min daily at 50°C) improved insulin sensitivity by 19% in healthy adults.
Study Design
- 10 days heat acclimation (45 min/day at 50°C)
- Insulin sensitivity improved 19%
- Effects sustained 1 week post-acclimation
Practical Implications
Regular sauna use or hot baths may enhance metabolic health through heat adaptation.
Outcomes
- Insulin Sensitivity19
