When your health is great, you have many problems on your plate. When your health gets bad, you have only one problem. Look after your most valuable asset
-your health.
Your thoughts impact your health. Holding on to negative thoughts increases your cortisol levels, which over time, lowers your immune system. Let go of crutches and focus on the good things in your.
Did you know that oxytocin, the happy hormone, overrides the stress hormone cortisol? By focusing on being grateful for good things and people in your life, you increase oxytocin and reduce stress hormones.
❄️ “Women don’t need the water as cold as men in cold water immersion”
Is this really true?
Having done cold water immersion for 520 days in a row, I can say from experience that the more you swim in colder water, the better you can tolerate colder temperatures. 🏊♀️❄️
It’s not a question of being a man or woman; it’s the question of how much you’ve exposed yourself to the cold water. It’s like going to the gym
- the more you lift weights, the stronger you get. And every day is different. One day cold plunging is easy, another day it’s terrible.
Hormonal fluctuations also impact how cold the water feels at different stages of your cycle. 🩸
So it’s not about being a man or woman, how well you tolerate the cold. It’s about the level you’ve trained your body to the cold water immersion, and how you feel each day. 🏋️♀️🏋️
