If you’re feeling stressed out or overwhelmed – go and splash some cold water on your face...
It really does work. Cold water helps to regulate body temperature. It slows the heart rate and can do wonders at reducing anxiety. Cold water is actually really good for us in bigger doses too. Chilling the whole body in frigid water propels blood towards your organs to keep them heated, which boosts function and immunity.
If you shiver at the thought of taking an icy plunge with the local Polar Bear Club – you could get the benefits in your own shower if you can stand it. Let the water run cold for about 30 seconds, then switch back to warm. It’s stimulating, really good for your circulation and people with cold shower routines get sick a LOT less than the rest of us.
