Why freezing your tits off is a good idea
Ah, cold water therapy. The technique that sounds so horrible you'd have to be crazy to try it! But wait - what if I told you there are actually some pretty amazing health benefits from this freezing-your-tits-off activity? That's right, even though it can seem intimidating at first (really intimidating, like "I'm never doing that" kind of intimidating), Cold Water Therapy has a number of surprising and pretty amazing benefits for both body and mind.
Can I tempt you to dip your toe into this activity?
The benefits are phenominal! With no pills and no alcohol, no waiting, you will feel imeadiatly invigerated and alive, the feeling is euphoric!
Here are just a few reasons why you should give this a go.
1. It boosts circulation throughout your body – Your blood vessels will expand when exposed to colder temperatures; this helps increase the flow of oxygenated blood around the body which is great for maintaining overall cardiovascular health.
2. It increases metabolism – When your core temperature drops slightly after entering cold water, your metabolic rate increases in order to compensate; burning more calories could be really helpful if weight loss is one of your goals!
3. It releases endorphins – According to studies by Harvard Medical School, spending time in chilly environments can release endorphins and help reduce stress levels while also boosting moods naturally without having any adverse effects on mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression.
4. It improves immune system function – Regularly exposing yourself to cooler temperatures through cold water therapy will cause an increased production of white blood cells which helps strengthen immunity against illnesses and diseases greatly!
5. It strengthens muscles & joints – Lowered temperatures cause our muscles and joints to contract resulting in improved flexibility along with stronger ligaments, tendons and bones over time due to regular stimulation from consistently stepping out into the chilliness we call “cold” waters…woo hoo!?
So don't let its less than favorable reputation fool you - Cold Water Therapy may not sound incredibly fun but its powerful effects can work wonders on both physical and psychological well-being alike!
6. Most importantly for me its just bloody bonkers! stripping down in a public space and embracing the elements, letting Mother nature embrace you is so liberating and funny! I for one am not the most graceful or agile so slipping and clambering over slippy rocks and stones, only to realise that parts of me have escaped my swimwear, is just hilarious! I wish I looked like a serene mermaid but no, I am definitely more like my spirit animal the Hippo wallowing around and loving life!!
This experience is Life Changing! It can be quite an emotional experience, due to the cold water stimulating the Vegas nerve. I'm not going to go into the science now ( if you want more info on the subject message me, I am always happy to help) I just wanted to say that cold water therapy has been scientifically proven to help with PTSD, stress, anxiety and so so much more.
Come and join the fun! just try it once, and see how incredibly amazing you feel afterwards
