I feel like there is a balance here somewhere that the proponents never talk about - there is definitely a too much. Also, as with anything, the benefits are vastly overstated. Tangentially related - cold showers - when you read about them, it's some magic thing, when you do it, you just get used to it in a couple of days and it doesn't do much anything for you. Fasting for 3 days (with water). Nothing happens. You maybe lose half a pound of fat if you walk for 4+ hours on the last day. Etc. Anyway, the core point is that there is a significant shock if you jump from a sauna into a cold pool. Don't try it after reading and then get a heart attack.
