Is Summer Heat Actually Making You Healthier?
Most people try to avoid exercising in the summer heat. But what if training in warmer conditions is creating some surprising health and fitness adaptations?
In this episode of the Functional Longevity Podcast, Chris Borda explores new research suggesting that heat training may increase hemoglobin mass, potentially improving the body's ability to transport oxygen. Some of these changes are similar to adaptations seen with altitude training.
But does that actually improve endurance or performance? And what could it mean for adults over 40 who want to stay active and healthy?
IN THIS EPISODE:
• Why athletes intentionally train in the heat
• What hemoglobin does and why it matters
• How heat training compares with altitude training
• Why increased oxygen capacity doesn't automatically make you faster
• What this research means for adults over 40
• How to exercise safely in summer heat
Chris breaks down what the research tells us, what scientists still don't know, and how to use this information safely.
