00:00it's not just you everyone seems to be it's not just you everyone seems to be cold plunging or watching other people cold plunging or watching other people cold plunging or watching other people do do do it we're going to have cold plunger Josh it we're going to have cold plunger Josh it we're going to have cold plunger Josh keron film the process this is what is keron film the process this is what is keron film the process this is what is happening in his happening in his happening in his body first the cold shock where the cold body first the cold shock where the cold body first the cold shock where the cold might just take our breath away as soon might just take our breath away as soon might just take our breath away as soon as you step into the water you will as you step into the water you will as you step into the water you will activate your activate your activate your hyperventilation and that is because you hyperventilation and that is because you hyperventilation and that is because you are not adapted yet his body goes into are not adapted yet his body goes into are not adapted yet his body goes into fight or flight mode from the cold shock fight or flight mode from the cold shock fight or flight mode from the cold shock every cell in your body is going to be every cell in your body is going to be every cell in your body is going to be affected by this stressor which is very affected by this stressor which is very affected by this stressor which is very potent for you micro stress might feel potent for you micro stress might feel potent for you micro stress might feel painful in the moment but it has painful in the moment but it has painful in the moment but it has long-term benefits that will help your long-term benefits that will help your long-term benefits that will help your overall health by increasing your overall health by increasing your overall health by increasing your metabolism and it will help on your metabolism and it will help on your metabolism and it will help on your muscles on your fat storage and it will muscles on your fat storage and it will muscles on your fat storage and it will help on your mental balance the skin help on your mental balance the skin help on your mental balance the skin sends signals to the brain once the body sends signals to the brain once the body sends signals to the brain once the body starts to get cold the temperature
01:00starts to get cold the temperature starts to get cold the temperature regulating Center sense that wow this is regulating Center sense that wow this is regulating Center sense that wow this is an emergency it will immediately an emergency it will immediately an emergency it will immediately increase nor adrenaline in the body to increase nor adrenaline in the body to increase nor adrenaline in the body to activate our fight and flight system we activate our fight and flight system we activate our fight and flight system we will have a huge increase by 2.5 fold of will have a huge increase by 2.5 fold of will have a huge increase by 2.5 fold of nor adrenaline within a few minutes neur nor adrenaline within a few minutes neur nor adrenaline within a few minutes neur adrenaline acts on what's called Brown adrenaline acts on what's called Brown adrenaline acts on what's called Brown fat a type of fat tissue that keeps you fat a type of fat tissue that keeps you fat a type of fat tissue that keeps you warm by breaking down glucose and fat warm by breaking down glucose and fat warm by breaking down glucose and fat molecules in the body it not only molecules in the body it not only molecules in the body it not only activates the brown fat it also makes activates the brown fat it also makes activates the brown fat it also makes sure that our blood best contract to our sure that our blood best contract to our sure that our blood best contract to our arms and legs so we can keep the warm arms and legs so we can keep the warm arms and legs so we can keep the warm blood in the center of our body because blood in the center of our body because blood in the center of our body because that's going to save our vital organs that's going to save our vital organs that's going to save our vital organs activating this brown fat has long-term activating this brown fat has long-term activating this brown fat has long-term benefits scientists saw that if you can benefits scientists saw that if you can benefits scientists saw that if you can increase your metabolism by activating increase your metabolism by activating increase your metabolism by activating the brown fat this could actually be a the brown fat this could actually be a the brown fat this could actually be a way to prevent lifestyle diseases such way to prevent lifestyle diseases such way to prevent lifestyle diseases such as type two as type two as type two diabetes the longer time you stay in the diabetes the longer time you stay in the diabetes the longer time you stay in the water the more heat you lose and then water the more heat you lose and then water the more heat you lose and then you will have an activation of the mus you will have an activation of the mus you will have an activation of the mus muscles and the first muscles that start
02:00muscles and the first muscles that start muscles and the first muscles that start to shiver they're located in your chest to shiver they're located in your chest to shiver they're located in your chest and legs pectoralis major which is the and legs pectoralis major which is the and legs pectoralis major which is the breast muscle and also the femoralis breast muscle and also the femoralis breast muscle and also the femoralis which is the big muscle on your thigh which is the big muscle on your thigh which is the big muscle on your thigh and when you feel the muscles are and when you feel the muscles are and when you feel the muscles are shivering it's time to actually get up shivering it's time to actually get up shivering it's time to actually get up you have ripped all the benefits that you have ripped all the benefits that you have ripped all the benefits that you need the more times you cold plunge you need the more times you cold plunge you need the more times you cold plunge the more benefits the body gets this the more benefits the body gets this the more benefits the body gets this includes an increase in dopamine this includes an increase in dopamine this includes an increase in dopamine this dopamine increase from cold emotion is dopamine increase from cold emotion is dopamine increase from cold emotion is just as high as nicotine cocaine let's just as high as nicotine cocaine let's just as high as nicotine cocaine let's go baby so this is definitely the most go baby so this is definitely the most go baby so this is definitely the most natural high you can get dopamine gives natural high you can get dopamine gives natural high you can get dopamine gives you drive and motivation you will have you drive and motivation you will have you drive and motivation you will have an increase of 2.5 F above Baseline of an increase of 2.5 F above Baseline of an increase of 2.5 F above Baseline of dopamine that's not going to subside dopamine that's not going to subside dopamine that's not going to subside just immediately as soon as you go up just immediately as soon as you go up just immediately as soon as you go up that will last for hours afterwards and that will last for hours afterwards and that will last for hours afterwards and increase in serotonin so after three increase in serotonin so after three increase in serotonin so after three times after four times you also activate times after four times you also activate times after four times you also activate your vag tone that would give you a your vag tone that would give you a your vag tone that would give you a sense of mental balance because it sense of mental balance because it sense of mental balance because it increases serotonin in the brain that is increases serotonin in the brain that is increases serotonin in the brain that is not something you get from cold showers
03:00not something you get from cold showers not something you get from cold showers for example you get that from submerging for example you get that from submerging for example you get that from submerging into cold water and an increase in into cold water and an increase in into cold water and an increase in oxytocin we have seen that from my oxytocin we have seen that from my oxytocin we have seen that from my studies they have an increase in studies they have an increase in studies they have an increase in oxytocin and oxytocin is our love drug oxytocin and oxytocin is our love drug oxytocin and oxytocin is our love drug natural drug in our brain that is natural drug in our brain that is natural drug in our brain that is increased every time we fall in love or increased every time we fall in love or increased every time we fall in love or we have sex or we eat chocolate touch we have sex or we eat chocolate touch we have sex or we eat chocolate touch and stuff like that you don't and stuff like that you don't and stuff like that you don't necessarily need to dunk your entire necessarily need to dunk your entire necessarily need to dunk your entire body into cold water to reap the body into cold water to reap the body into cold water to reap the benefits I found this very interesting benefits I found this very interesting benefits I found this very interesting study from Canada from a scientist group study from Canada from a scientist group study from Canada from a scientist group they have calculated how much heat you they have calculated how much heat you they have calculated how much heat you lose submerging your body into cold lose submerging your body into cold lose submerging your body into cold water up to the neck versus how much water up to the neck versus how much water up to the neck versus how much heat you lose from also dunking your heat you lose from also dunking your heat you lose from also dunking your head submerging up to the neck you would head submerging up to the neck you would head submerging up to the neck you would lose 11% of heat from the head but if lose 11% of heat from the head but if lose 11% of heat from the head but if you also then do a head dunk you will you also then do a head dunk you will you also then do a head dunk you will increase that heat loss by 36% in fact increase that heat loss by 36% in fact increase that heat loss by 36% in fact dunking your hands can be just as dunking your hands can be just as dunking your hands can be just as beneficial I found this very interesting beneficial I found this very interesting beneficial I found this very interesting study in the fishop and they work in study in the fishop and they work in study in the fishop and they work in very cold water with their hands
04:00very cold water with their hands very cold water with their hands submerged many hours scientists found submerged many hours scientists found submerged many hours scientists found they were Cod adapted so the Cod they were Cod adapted so the Cod they were Cod adapted so the Cod adaptation doesn't just come from adaptation doesn't just come from adaptation doesn't just come from exposing your full body up to the neck exposing your full body up to the neck exposing your full body up to the neck you can also expose parts of your body you can also expose parts of your body you can also expose parts of your body and you will get a systemic effect and you will get a systemic effect and you will get a systemic effect finally the after drop you will actually finally the after drop you will actually finally the after drop you will actually be cated when you get up all your be cated when you get up all your be cated when you get up all your muscles will start shiver because when muscles will start shiver because when muscles will start shiver because when you're in the water your body is you're in the water your body is you're in the water your body is completely trying to shut out the cold completely trying to shut out the cold completely trying to shut out the cold but when you get up the blood vessels but when you get up the blood vessels but when you get up the blood vessels will dilate and and the warm blood from will dilate and and the warm blood from will dilate and and the warm blood from your core will float out to your fingers your core will float out to your fingers your core will float out to your fingers and your cold tissue and your muscles in and your cold tissue and your muscles in and your cold tissue and your muscles in your core you have receptors which will your core you have receptors which will your core you have receptors which will send then a signal to the brain telling send then a signal to the brain telling send then a signal to the brain telling you oh now the blood has become much you oh now the blood has become much you oh now the blood has become much colder that is a decrease in temperature colder that is a decrease in temperature colder that is a decrease in temperature in your core and your muscles would then in your core and your muscles would then in your core and your muscles would then start to shiver even more because now start to shiver even more because now start to shiver even more because now you got colder that is completely normal you got colder that is completely normal you got colder that is completely normal and just keep moving afterwards just and just keep moving afterwards just and just keep moving afterwards just don't sit on your couch this principle don't sit on your couch this principle don't sit on your couch this principle is called the subar principle and it's is called the subar principle and it's is called the subar principle and it's named by a professor from Stanford
05:00named by a professor from Stanford named by a professor from Stanford University C plunging is a practice with University C plunging is a practice with University C plunging is a practice with a long history with the Egyptians these a long history with the Egyptians these a long history with the Egyptians these first civilization they built the Seas first civilization they built the Seas first civilization they built the Seas and rivers and thermal sources around and rivers and thermal sources around and rivers and thermal sources around them in Egyptian times the water was them in Egyptian times the water was them in Egyptian times the water was used for hygienic and clinical purposes used for hygienic and clinical purposes used for hygienic and clinical purposes and with the Greeks hypocrates said that and with the Greeks hypocrates said that and with the Greeks hypocrates said that because of the imbalances that we have because of the imbalances that we have because of the imbalances that we have the fluids in the body can get stuck and the fluids in the body can get stuck and the fluids in the body can get stuck and that imbalance can be restored going that imbalance can be restored going that imbalance can be restored going into cold water and warm water but into cold water and warm water but into cold water and warm water but researching what happens in the body and researching what happens in the body and researching what happens in the body and the potential benefits of the cold is the potential benefits of the cold is the potential benefits of the cold is recent the Titanic actually sunk in recent the Titanic actually sunk in recent the Titanic actually sunk in April the 15th in 1912 and there was a April the 15th in 1912 and there was a April the 15th in 1912 and there was a big disaster but this is in history the big disaster but this is in history the big disaster but this is in history the first time we really know how much time first time we really know how much time first time we really know how much time the body can be in cold water before it the body can be in cold water before it the body can be in cold water before it gets hypothermic from that on people gets hypothermic from that on people gets hypothermic from that on people were thinking whoa cold water could were thinking whoa cold water could were thinking whoa cold water could actually be really dangerous it didn't actually be really dangerous it didn't actually be really dangerous it didn't really get any better when we jump right really get any better when we jump right really get any better when we jump right on to World War II where Nazi
06:00on to World War II where Nazi on to World War II where Nazi experiments were performed in the experiments were performed in the experiments were performed in the concentration camps in dco to concentration camps in dco to concentration camps in dco to investigate how long a human body could investigate how long a human body could investigate how long a human body could be cooled before they die it has taken be cooled before they die it has taken be cooled before they die it has taken decades before scientists started again decades before scientists started again decades before scientists started again investigating human physiology and cold investigating human physiology and cold investigating human physiology and cold water in the 60s and 70s We Begin Again water in the 60s and 70s We Begin Again water in the 60s and 70s We Begin Again to see studies where we can see what to see studies where we can see what to see studies where we can see what happens when you put people into cold happens when you put people into cold happens when you put people into cold water cold puning weekly can have many water cold puning weekly can have many water cold puning weekly can have many long-term benefits another long-term long-term benefits another long-term long-term benefits another long-term benefits of going into the cold water is benefits of going into the cold water is benefits of going into the cold water is the increase in metabolism just by 11 the increase in metabolism just by 11 the increase in metabolism just by 11 minutes per week divided on two to 3 minutes per week divided on two to 3 minutes per week divided on two to 3 days you will have an increase in days you will have an increase in days you will have an increase in thermogenesis in the body so you get thermogenesis in the body so you get thermogenesis in the body so you get warmer you will get a increased insulin warmer you will get a increased insulin warmer you will get a increased insulin sensitivity and you will have a better sensitivity and you will have a better sensitivity and you will have a better glucose balance meaning that you will glucose balance meaning that you will glucose balance meaning that you will easier get rid of the glucose in your easier get rid of the glucose in your easier get rid of the glucose in your bloodstream when you are adapted to cold bloodstream when you are adapted to cold bloodstream when you are adapted to cold water the same study by Dr soberg and water the same study by Dr soberg and water the same study by Dr soberg and her colleagues suggest adding warmth we her colleagues suggest adding warmth we her colleagues suggest adding warmth we also saw that going into a SAA 50 7
07:00also saw that going into a SAA 50 7 also saw that going into a SAA 50 7 minutes divided on 2 to 3 days 10 to 15 minutes divided on 2 to 3 days 10 to 15 minutes divided on 2 to 3 days 10 to 15 minutes at a time you can also increase minutes at a time you can also increase minutes at a time you can also increase your metabolism and you will lower your your metabolism and you will lower your your metabolism and you will lower your core temperature which is a good thing core temperature which is a good thing core temperature which is a good thing because then you have a higher threshold because then you have a higher threshold because then you have a higher threshold for getting hypothermic as well the for getting hypothermic as well the for getting hypothermic as well the long-term benefits of Co plunging seems long-term benefits of Co plunging seems long-term benefits of Co plunging seems to be that you will have a better to be that you will have a better to be that you will have a better temperature regulation in your body you temperature regulation in your body you temperature regulation in your body you will become a warmer person physically will become a warmer person physically will become a warmer person physically apparently also emotionally that could apparently also emotionally that could apparently also emotionally that could explain the culture that is also also in explain the culture that is also also in explain the culture that is also also in the winter swimming clubs that people the winter swimming clubs that people the winter swimming clubs that people get this gratitude because they have get this gratitude because they have get this gratitude because they have maybe this large increase in oxytocin I maybe this large increase in oxytocin I maybe this large increase in oxytocin I think it explains why we see that kind think it explains why we see that kind think it explains why we see that kind of friendly atmosphere there
