SAUNA BENEFITS

• Vinnie is a big sauna fan.
• He wants to build one in his home!
• This allows him privacy while he stretches–he likes to stretch in the sauna.
• Infrared saunas have been cropping up.
  • Studies say they’re better for you.
  • Vinnie looked into it.
• If you have a regular sauna, air heats up to whatever temperature you’d like.
  • It’s like an oven.
  • You sweat, you reap all the benefits.
• Infrared saunas heat up you, not the air.
  • Vinnie doesn’t think this is a bad thing.
  • Maybe these can be smaller.
  • But it seems like it provides the same benefits as a normal sauna.

PROTEIN INTAKE

• How does protein interact with muscle building?
• You do need protein to build muscle.
• The best form of protein is animal protein.
• If you work out, you probably should eat more protein than if you don’t.
• The Bro Science window is BS, though.
  • There isn’t some 30 minute period where you must eat protein for your muscles to start building.
    • They’ll build over 36 hours or so.
• If you do intermittent fasting, you can still build muscle so long as you do eat protein when you eat.
  • You don’t need protein 24/7.
• Vinnie typically fasts 16 hours of the day.
• But, if you eat too much protein (which is a lot), your body will turn it into sugar.
  • So don’t go crazy.
