  Heat exposure can be beneficial for your overall health. The production of heat-shock in your body is one such benefit. What are heat-shock proteins? Heat-shock proteins come from a family of macromolecular structures. They act as chaperones and help monitor and assist other proteins in carrying out their tasks. Heat-shock proteins help fold other proteins properly. They were discovered in 1960 and have since been helping scientists better understand genetic mapping. Heat-shock proteins are found in every living organism, including plants. How can you regulate heat-shock proteins in your body? By putting your body in stress. Heat-shock proteins help maintain homeostasis, form new proteins, reactivate misfolded proteins, and work as chaperones to stabilize unfolded proteins and deformed cells. Some of the stress that can produce heat-shock proteins include heat, exercise, calorie restriction, and even cancer. Saunas and steam rooms are especially helpful i...
