Now a new study suggests that sitting in the heat could also help to reduce the risk of having a stroke by as much as 60%. Dr Setor Kunutsor from Bristol Medical School believes that a lowering of the blood pressure might be responsible for the results he found. (Photo: Sauna in Finland. Credit: Getty Images)
