Today I want to give you some tips on how to take a cold shower for the benefits without feeling so uncomfortable.

When we’re too comfortable, our bodies weaken. So, adding a little stress, as long as it’s not overwhelming, can be a positive thing. A few other examples of good stressors are exercise and intermittent fasting.

The potential benefits of taking cold showers:
• Immune support
• Decreased inflammation
• Cognitive support
• Mood support
• Increased energy
• Increased fat-burning
• Improved insulin resistance
• Increased longevity

11 tips to make taking cold showers easier:
1. Start by taking a warm shower and gradually make the water colder
2. Rub the skin while being exposed to the cold water
3. Relax your entire body
4. Slow down your breathing
5. Turn on some music
6. Before your cold shower, do intense exercise
7. Don’t overthink it, just do it
8. Gradually increase intervals
9. End your shower with warm water
10. Gradually do portions of your body in the cold water
11. Do intermittent exposure to the cold water

Thanks for watching! I hope these tips make it easier for you to start taking advantage of the benefits of cold showers. I’ll see you in the next video.

now I recently did a video on the benefits of taking cold showers but of course those benefits only occur if you actually take a cold shower a lot of people in the comments section just you know kind of chickened out because taking cold showers can be very very uncomfortable so today I want to discuss some tips how to do this and get the benefits without the incredible painful uncomfortableness that comes along with taking cold showers the first thing you need to know about cold shower is just like any type of stress is that when our bodies are too comfortable when we get rid of too much stress our bodies weaken and so adding a little stress in your life if it's not overwhelming is a very very positive thing whether it's exercise intermittent fasting or even taking a cold shower so let me just kind of recap on the benefits first thing and this is quite big is your immune system greatly responds you would think if you're out in the cold or let's say it's raining or something that you would get sick but in fact if the stress is not overwhelming if you're not outside too long you can actually strengthen your immune system to the point where you can resist pathogens so there's huge immune benefits to cold therapy okay that's number one now also attached with that is inflammation now I'm not just talking about inflammation from an infection I'm talking about inflammation from an autoimmune disease talking about inflammation from especially arthritis if you have arthritis stiffness okay or pain cold therapy can be huge for you and if you combine several things at once you can really strengthen your immune system as well so if you combine exercise with uh fasting and this cold therapy you can basically bulletproof yourself against a lot of pathogens and a lot of people with Lyme disease get benefits from doing this as well we have the immune system benefits we also have brain benefits I'm talking about both with your mood and your cognitive function so people who are depressed have anxiety can benefit from this greatly also cognitive benefits whether you want to increase your focus your concentration get more attention be more productive cold therapy can help now when you're exposed to cold therapy there is a huge spike in certain neurotransmitters I'm specifically talking about two epinephrine and norepinephine okay now epinephrine is also called adrenaline okay now these two neurotransmitters they act like hormones but they work within the nervous system in the brain and also in the adrenal gland through the nervous system and part of the adrenal the inside called the medulla is all neurological tissue so your medulla and the adrenal produces adrenaline or noradrenaline as well as certain parts of the brain and so when we think of the sympathetic nervous system which is the flight or fight a lot of times people think cortisol and that's one hormone but the other two are adrenaline and noradrenaline in fact cold therapy you can increase these two neurotransmitters up to 550 and so when you have more adrenaline in the body you're going to be very very awake so it's going to wake you up very very fast and then there's all sorts of cascading effects that occur from this adrenaline and nor adrenaline you have increased production of mitochondria that's the energy factories in the cell and so just by taking regular cold showers you can increase the number of mitochondria in your muscle cells and that's pretty wild and so you're going to have more capacity for energy and also an increased ability to burn things like fat and so cold therapy is actually very beneficial to help you lose weight specifically activating something called Brown fat now brown fat is different than white fat Brown fat is tied into thermogenesis temperature regulation so when you do cold therapy you actually stimulate more production of your brown fat which basically has more mitochondria and doing that can elevate your metabolism and that brown fat also Taps into calories from the white fat helping you oxidize a lot fat so there are other things that go beyond just diet and exercise as far as losing weight now the other really cool thing about cold therapy is that you can improve your blood sugars and make insulin more sensitive so many people have a problem with insulin resistance and so in other videos I talk about apple cider vinegar talk about melanium carbs exercise but you can also do this called shower to help your blood sugars which is quite amazing and then the last big benefit I want to just mention briefly is longevity certain genes that are tied into living longer are skin emulated when you're out in the cold because of the survival programs that are attached to surviving when you're freezing to death now the other side note I want to mention about cold therapy is that when you sleep at night especially when you get into the Delta wave sleep which is the Deep Sleep the overall quality of the Delta weight sleep is improved if your temperature in your room is slightly cooler and it's worsened if you're trying to sleep when it's too hot out now personally I like to just use a very thin sheet and I like to be on the cold side when I sleep I sleep much better I'm a little bit cooler than if I'm too hot and before I get into the tips there's just one last really important point I want to bring up about colds here would be in relationship to your circulation roughly your body has about 62 000 miles of circulatory vessels throughout the body including the veins and the arteries and the papillaries you have a lot of vessels and there is muscle regulating the vasoconstriction and the vasodilation of that system so when you're taking these cold showers you are activating 62 000 miles of vessels which have muscles and so you're creating this interesting effect of vasoconstriction and vasodilation and getting more blood flow to a certain parts of your body that might need it so in other words there's a lot of positive things that are going to happen if you can get up enough nerve to do these cold cellos all right let's start with number one what you do in the shower is you start with a very warm shower okay so you're taking a warm shower and you're turning up really really hot and then what you're going to do is you're just going to basically on a nice gradient start cooling it down okay slowly until your body gets used to it and then you're going to go colder and colder and colder over a period of time to do this very gradually so it's not so painful starting out because the biggest barrier that we're running into is to ignore your body saying no don't do it so for some reason your body has this great resistance against being too cold for example I'm from Wisconsin and they used to have this Polar Bear Club in Lake Michigan in the winter they would all run out there and jump in Lake Michigan I mean it gets cold in Wisconsin now at the time I thought these guys were crazy but now that I know the benefits I probably would have follow them and jump into Lake Michigan at least I would attempt to do it all right number two this tip can help just um counter some of the shock to your body so let's say for example you have your shower on cold and you expose a certain part of your body let's say your chest okay you start to rub your chest okay rub it as the cold is going on your skin and that can help make things a lot easier and because these cold receptors are on the skin and they're superficial so if you're rubbing them you'll tend to numb some of the intensity of that cold shocking uh sensation all right number three you're going to go into this cold water with complete relaxation that's the opposite of what most people do they're kind of going into this uh with exhilaration with this heightened fear or whatever and they're not relaxed and so it just makes things worse so you want to just kind of go into this with total relaxation it'll be a lot easier for you to face this um this change in temperature all right and number four relates to number three start slowing your breath down okay breathing very slowly in for maybe four to five seconds and out for four to five seconds so the combination of being relaxed and slow deep breaths can help you push past the pain of this cold number five turn on some music that you really really like listening to certain types of music can help you push through the barriers it can also help distract your mind from this sensation of being very very cold number six is to do this cold shower right after you've had some intense exercise where you're sweating it'll just help counter some of the heat that you just generated so it'll be a little bit easier number seven is just not to overthink the same not to start to even talk yourself into it just do it without thinking just jump right in there in the morning kind of trick yourself into just doing it all right number eight ideally over time I'm talking over weeks you should go from maybe 10 seconds 20 seconds 30 seconds to 45 seconds to a minute and then up to two minutes okay once a day that would be awesome if you could do that so normally at 30 seconds things should be a little bit easier you'll start to feel kind of a numbing effect and you'll start to tolerate it more but that first 30 seconds is the hardest all right number nine is just jump in the cold shower but end with a very warm hot shower they take away the uncomfortableness of what you just experienced so if you're going to take a cold shower just in your mind realize that it's going to end with some nice comfortable pleasure moment okay number 10 when you go into this cold shower just do one part of your body whether it's your legs okay or maybe your left arm and shoulder this is what you're doing in a nice gradual gradient where it's not too intense there's certain parts of your body and then just keep adding another part each time you do it to make it easier and the last one number 11 is just to turn the shower on for a few seconds and then turn it off for a few seconds on for a few seconds off for a few seconds and that way you're doing some type of intermittent type exposure which definitely will break up the intensity and the pain from this uh cold sensation all right so now I hope you have enough nerve to attempt these cold showers okay now if you haven't seen my other video on cold showers and the benefits I think you should check that out I put it up right here
