The Health Benefits Of Swimming In Cold Water?


fromanotherealm

Have you ever gone for a swim in cold water? You may think that swimming in cold water is one of the last things you would do, but there are many significant health benefits.

1. It gives you a natural high:


Swimming in the cold water activates endorphins. This feel good chemical triggers a positive feeling in the body. Endorphins activate opioid receptors in the brain that help minimize discomfort. They can also help bring about feelings of euphoria and general well-being

2. It improves your circulation:


Cold water swimming flushes your arteries, capillaries and veins. By doing so it forces blood to the surface and helps to warm our extremities. With repeated exposure our bodies naturally adapt to the cold.



3. It boosts your immune system:


Cold water helps to boost the white blood cell count since the body is forced to react to changing conditions. Because of this, your body becomes better at activating its defenses over time.


4. It reduces stress:

Dipping into cold water puts your body under stress. As you repeat this experience, you diminish this stress response. This is why cold water swimmers become more relaxed and calmer.


5. It burns calories:


During a cold water swim, the heart has to pump faster and the body must work harder to keep everything warm. Because of this, more calories are burned swimming in cold water vs warm water.



6. It is a great way To socialising and making new friends:


There is a great sense of community with cold water swimmers. Nothing brings people together more than facing a challenge and sharing those experiences together as a group.


Have you tried cold water swimming? This may be the favorite hobby you never knew you had!


Going through a spiritual awakening?


During an awakening, it may be useful to have some professional guidance: someone who can confidently, patiently and without judgement help us, step by step through the healing process. If you are in need of someone to talk with about triggers, past trauma, childhood wounds or repressed emotions. I am available for online booking please contact me directly at: fromanotherealm@gmail.com


From Another Realm

Face whatever is holding you back head on and it no longer has power over you, you have power over it! Awareness and anything can't co exist. Awareness is more powerful than your ego, your emotions, your thoughts and your feelings. Awareness is what gets you back home to your soul purpose.


You can use your pain and turn it into power. If you are willing to work on where your pain comes from, the lesson to be learned and turn your knowledge into action, you can use your suffering to turn you into a stronger and wiser person! I look forward to working with you on your spiritual journey.


Love & Light,


Namaste ~ Paulina
