Benefits of cold showers 🥶 I love a hot shower and the hotter the better, but I’ve been hearing a lot of good things your body can benefit from a cold shower.

❄️ Weight loss!!! Yup, you heard me right. When the body’s exposed to extreme cold the brown fat cells become hyperactive and burn away at a much faster rate. A study in 2009 showed that regular exposure to extreme cold sped up brown fat cell activity by 15 times the regular speed.

❄️Improved immunity. Having cold showers does great things for your blood circulation, immunity and overall health. When cold water hits the body it INCREASES CIRCULATION and encourages the heart and arteries to transport blood more efficiently.Furthermore, the deep breathing from the shock of the cold water stimulates lymphatic movement and better oxidation of the blood.

❄️ IMPROVES THE SKIN
One of the best ways to maintain good skin is by giving it regular cold showers. Hot water, over time, can weaken and dry out the skin by washing away its natural oils.Cold water also tightens the skins and shrinks pores. This PREVENTS SKIN DAMAGE AND BREAKOUTS.

Tips for cold water immersion

❄️Make sure to immerse your whole body under the water, especially parts of high blood flow. E.g. Armpits, spine, face, neck, crotch and backside.

❄️It’s best to let yourself drip dry instead of using a towel. This will increase the fat loss benefits because you’re burning more calories as your body reheats itself.

❄️Make sure the water is actually cold, warm water doesn’t count.

❄️Take deep breaths

❄️Do it daily if possible.

Benefits of sauna are many and ancient. The Native Americans used sweat lodge for sacred ceremony and healing. Here are a few things sauna can do for you:

🔥 Saunas can help with weight loss. Saunas can increase heart rate while lowering blood pressure and increasing oxygenation and metabolic rate. These physiological affects are incredibly similar to cardio exercise!

🔥Protect your brain. A recent study conducted by researchers in Finland — a country where it’s not unusual for a home have a sauna — found that men who used a sauna four to seven times a week for an average length of 15 minutes had a 66 percent lower risk of developing dementia, and 65 percent lower risk of Alzheimer’s, compared to men who used the sauna only once a week. That’s pretty amazing.

🔥Live longer!!! A landmark study found that the more men used sauna, the lower the risk for sudden cardiac arrest, fatal cardiovascular disease, fatal coronary heart disease, and ALL-CAUSE MORTALITY. Basically, the more you sauna, the longer you’re gonna live.

🔥 Balance hormones. Stress reduction helps to lower stress hormones (cortisol). When cortisol is kept in balance, thyroid, insulin, DHEA, testosterone, and estrogen are also kept in balance. In fact, progesterone levels can increase if we keep our cortisol in healthy range. Saunas help the adrenals secrete aldosterone, which helps keep electrolytes in balance too.

Take 10 to 15 minutes and take the time to relax and reap the benefits of sauna 🧖🏼‍♀️

So easy to do and feels amazing. Empty the lymph! The toxins of the body. So easy with a dry brush. I start from the neck and work my way down. Exfoliate and drain that lymph.
