Deliberate Cold Exposure (Part 1)
Why?
Benefits of consistent cold immersion (read: DAILY cold showers) include:
Improved circulation
Improved immunity
Lowers stress and promotes emotional resilience – less anxiety, relieves the grip of depression
Promotes fat loss and faster muscle recovery
Enhances skin and hair
Provides an EPIC start to your day!! Feel focused, energized, clear-headed
How?
- After your “normal” shower, turn the dial STRAIGHT TO FULL COLD.
- Hang out there (30sec is a good start, 2mins is gold)
- Breathe calmly in and out of your nose.
- You do NOT need to submerge your head
- Remember to give equal time to the front and back of your body – don’t fear it, let the body receive the cold from all angles
- You DO need to make sure you hit the vagus nerve (important!)
Stay with it, stay with the breath. Reap the rewards.
