Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Kito and Interminute fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. Today we're going to talk about the seven benefits of taking a cold shower.

This is really about something called cryotherapy, cold therapy.

Now with cryotherapy, you're put into a cryochamber for just a very small amount of time because it's a very very cold

two maybe three maybe up to five minutes and this concept is really based on this word

Hormeses okay what is that that is a situation where you're adding a low-dose

stress or a moderate amount of stress to create a beneficial effect.

There's a lot of things that can create this effect.

This is called a harmonic effect.

But it's really a survival mechanism that's been around for eons. I mean if you think about in the

past with human bodies the combination of how many times that our bodies have starved and been in the cold,

so you're freezing and starving and what the body will do over time to adapt.

It's really built within our genes.

So just by taking a 20 minute cold shower it can increase

nor epinephrine by 2 to 300 percent and when you increase this

neurotransmitter which is made by your adrenal glands and other parts of your body,

you can really drop inflammation. You can increase your antioxidant networks including

glutathion. So your ability to detox, protect against DNA damage is improved.

Also, your mitochondria increase as far as the numbers of mitochondria you can generate more energy which is

fascinating so taking a cold shower of a period of time can actually boost your energy.
