Health-wise, I would recommend you to find the closest river and start with cold water immersion.
If not possible, start with cold showers.
Your future self will thank you.
- tsol 5y agoFunny, I just took one and was considering posting this. It has an amazing effect of focus and relaxation. Seriously, nothing relaxes me like a cold shower it's like nature's Xanax
- bitcoinmoney 5y agoIs this real?
- WheelsAtLarge 5y agoCold showers are a great way to start your day. It takes a while to get used to them but I've always found them refreshing. River immersions, I don't know.
- tucaz 5y agoYeah. Look up “Wim Hof”
- mclbdn 5y agoI used to be sick with sinusitis every single year(especially winters) for approx. 8 years. I don't even want to count how many packs of antibiotics did I consume during that time. One September, I started to shower myself with cold water at least once a day. It's been 4 years now and I haven't taken a single antibiotic since. It also has a great mental effect - doing something a bit uncomfortable every single day makes it easier to do something else that's also uncomfortable.
- legerdemain 5y agoIn March of last year, two weeks before I was due to move to a new apartment, the water heater in my old apartment broke. Those two weeks of cold showers were some of the unhappiest in my life. The dread of standing naked in the shower with your hand on the knob. The involuntary spasmodic shivering when the jet of icy water hits your trunk. Panicked attempts to rinse off soap and shampoo that just don't want to foam in water that cold. No. Never again. No.
- cpach 5y agoIn my experience, taking an involuntary cold shower is very different from immersing oneself into a cold lake. The latter can be a nice experience.
- legerdemain 5y agoIt wasn't "involuntary," no one forced me into taking the shower.
- cpach 5y agoHave you ever had the experience of immersing yourself into a cold lake?
- legerdemain 5y agoCold water is cold water, no?
- cpach 5y agoIn my humble opinion: No. The experience of cold water from a faucet is very different from the experience of a cold lake. You cannot get submerged via a faucet.
