Pouring cold water, taking ice baths, and other types of extreme hardening can increase stress and accelerate the aging of the body. Endocrinologist Zukhra Pavlova talked about this telegram channel.
At extremely low temperatures, the body produces large amounts of cortisol and adrenaline, hormones that also increase under stress. This leads to a sharp increase in power. Hardening can also be training of blood vessels. However, if regular exercise is not done, hypothermia can cause premature aging. You may also experience the opposite effect instead of the rarer cold.
“It is important not to confuse erection with hypothermia. You should always dress according to the weather; Bare ankles do not make you healthier, on the contrary, they reduce your immunity and increase the risk of getting sick. And of course almost all procedures have contraindications. For example, hypertensive patients and people with cardiovascular diseases should not indulge in erectile dysfunction. “Even a seemingly healthy person cannot always withstand the same dive into an ice hole without consequences,” Pavlova explained.
