What are the benefits of baptismal bathing?
Hardening. Many people decide to take a dip also for health-improving purposes. Bathing in icy water stimulates the immune system. After such a "stressful" situation, the body becomes more accustomed to low temperatures and resistant to disease. "Walruses" are less likely to catch colds. And some people claim that after regular diving symptoms of chronic diseases disappeared.
Strengthening the blood vessels. Sudden cold makes the blood rush quickly to the skin. Accordingly, at the moment of diving capillaries, veins and arteries work hard, which improves blood circulation.
Happiness. After bathing, many people note a sharp rise in mood. The thing is that the adrenal glands in a stressful situation for the body begin to produce endorphins - hormones of happiness.
Calorie burning. During the dive, the body will throw all its energies to keep warm. For this purpose it will need a lot of energy, the lack of which will be compensated by fat deposits. It is not surprising that after the New Year holidays, some girls continue bathing.
How to swim properly, so as not to harm yourself.
At least an hour before the planned dive, it is recommended to eat a solid meal so that the body has a reserve of energy.
Before swimming, do a small warm-up, for example, a few squats. This will increase blood circulation and warm up the body
Don't hesitate too long when it's your turn to take a dip. It's enough to spend 15-20 seconds in the water - no more, especially if it's your first time. You can hold your breath before diving, so you don't feel like you're holding your breath. This can happen due to vasospasm.
After you get out of the water, dry yourself with a towel. Do it carefully, so as not to accidentally damage the blood vessels. Then dress warmly and drink hot tea.
