Recently I have discussed the numerous potential benefits of regular cold exposure. I have shown you how to start taking a cold shower every day. For those of you more daring people wanting to experience the benefits of cold exposure, I have shown you whole body cryotherapy, spending up to three minutes in a tank exposure to very cold air.
In this video, I show you another method of regular cold exposure you can try at home. It is one suggested by Wim Hof, better known as the “Ice Man.” I show you my first experience putting my hands in a bucket of ice water for two minutes and offer my thoughts on how you could use this and other cold treatments in an effort to improve your health.
Always talk to your doctor before trying this or any health treatment. If you are interested in cold exposure, try it and see how it works for you.
