Embrace Extremes: Harnessing Cold and Heat for Health
Exposure to cold activates brown fat, boosting metabolism and fat burning. Heat exposure mimics exercise, contributing to cardiovascular health by lowering blood pressure and reducing the risk of diseases. Studies indicate a significant decrease in mortality rates for individuals practicing heat therapy multiple times a week. Additionally, heat exposure enhances brain-derived neurotrophic factors (BDNF), improving memory retention and lowering Alzheimer's and dementia risk. An effective regimen includes 11 minutes of cold exposure and 57 minutes of heat exposure weekly, which can be adapted through cold showers and hot baths if access to facilities is limited.
