Hot or Cold
We are civilising ourselves to death - why do you feel the cold - well - because you're never in it!
By just sleeping in a cooler room at night (19 degrees) you stimulate the growth of brown fat - something science is only just beginning to realise the significance of)!
It's another something which disappears as we get past 25 to 30 years of age......
The Benefits of Temperature Extremes - Cryotherapy and Thermotherapy
The Cold:
Might well be able to make you live longer! Embracing these extremes makes your body upgrade it's defences and enter that survival mode for cells adding years to your life!
We will help you acclimatise to the cold and you can pick up our handy shower timer so you can build up to a 2 minute cold shower if you wish
That cold water shock when you first get in causes all sorts of reactions which go against our friend inflam-aging by dialling down our increasingly rogue immune systems and cutting the risk of deadly disease in old age!
As blood is forced around the body to protect our core organs - this also aids our cardio-vascular systems.
Being able to face going into the cold and the subsequent release of endorphins is also a major stress reliever and mood lifter!
WARNING: Cold Water Shock needs to be treated with care - never jump into cold water - Seek a professionals guidance and never take a hot shower after a cold dip - this can also be very adverse to health.
The Heat:
Maybe more accessible are sauna's and hotboxes - see ours here.
Again blood is forced - this time the other way into our extremities - benefiting our cardio vascular system to the extent that a recent study showed heart attack risk is decreased massively for those who sauna for 18 mins a day at 75 degrees Centigrade.
Heat Shock proteins - clean up your cells - removing heaps of molecular junk from the wear and tear of age. The ultimate spring clean!
That's a 65% reduction in Alzheimers and 50% reduction in cardio vascular disease - it's no wonder the Scandinavians call Sauna a poor man's medicine!
The magic figure is about 75 degrees centigrade by the way!
Warning(s) - we want Cold Water Shock's response in a managed fashion - we don't want Hypothermia - there is a difference.
Ensure you're well hydrated for the Sauna - no alcohol, jewllery etc.
