Good morning my people . . . I hope you have a safe and healthy weekend.
Okay . . . so today, let's talk about another way to "stimulate" the "lymphatic system" to flush out toxins from the body.
And that would be . . .
"HOT/COLD" showers . . .
You see . . . "Hot" water "DILATES" the body's blood vessels . . .
Whereas . . . "Cold" water "CONSTRICTS" the blood vessels . . .
And . . . alternating water back and forth between 2 extreme temperatures . . . will act as a "pump" in the body to "move" lymph through the "lymphatic system" . . . therefore . . . removing toxins.
This "action" and "reaction" . . . can also stimulate . . .
COLD WATER SHOWER . . .
Decreases inflammation and swelling
Reduces muscle soreness and fatigue
Lowers "cortisol" the STRESS hormone and "belly fat producer"
Improves circulation
Reduces pain
Stimulates the immune system
Increases alertness
Prevents colds
Stimulates anti-depression hormones
Accelerates the metabolism
Frees up the mind
Tightens the skin
Reduces hair loss
Improves focus and concentration
Helps with fertility
Hydrates the body
HOT WATER SHOWER . . .
Improves cardiovascular health
Reduces muscle soreness ad fatigue
Improves brain health
Assists in better blood flow to joints and muscles
Improves sleep
Lowers body tension
Alleviates migraines
Reduces anxiety
Acts as a nasal decongestant
Removes toxins from the skin
Opens pores and cleans the skin
So . . . you can clearly see . . . just how amazing this process can be . . .
But . . . how do we do a "hot/cold" shower you ask???
Well . . . for beginners . . . we would start with "hot" water . . . for 15 seconds . . . then switch to "cold" water . . . for 15 seconds . . . then back to "hot".
With this system . . . we would want to increase the "amount" of times we switch back and forth each time we take a shower.
Now . . . for the "pro" . . . we would start with a "hot" water shower for 3 minutes . . . then switch to "cold" water for 1 minute . . . and repeat.
This is called . . . a "CONTRAST SHOWER".
NOTE: People that SHOULD "NOT" do a "COLD" shower . . . or this method of a "contrast shower" . . . are people with Adrenal exhaustion . . . pregnant . . . or have a heart condition!
And tomorrow . . . we'll talk about some herbs that can "stimulate" the lymphatic system
