In August 2023, Dr. Mark D. Andersen shared an MDVIP report on the benefits of using a sauna. I knew my insurance had offerings that I had not taken advantage of. I checked with the insurance, Renew Active program for nearby gyms with a sauna. My gym membership is free with the Renew Active program. The gym is less than two miles from our home. I go to the sauna 5 - 6 times a week. During the winter it is nice to try different exercise options. Dr. Andersen also suggested that I drink at least 64 oz. water each day. Renew Active includes the premium version of Fitbit. In addition to logging my water intake and exercise, I take advantage of the mindfulness sessions offered in Fitbit Premium. Practicing meditation while in the sauna works great. I'm grateful to Dr. Andersen for suggesting the sauna and additional water intake. It has opened new doors and opportunities for me.
