Wrapped up in our coats, ready to unsheath hats and scarves, we flee the cold. However, its virtues are multiple when you know how to welcome it. The cold wishes us well!
COLD IMPROVES YOUR BLOOD CIRCULATION
The cold causes vasoconstriction, the diameter of the vessels decreases followed by a reaction effect of vasodilation, the vessels dilate with an increase in blood flow. Results: the microcirculation is stimulated, the cells are properly nourished and drained, which allows the organs to be well fed.
By acting on the circulation, the cold prevents, for example, the appearance of varicose veins and slows hair loss. It also releases endorphins resulting in a decrease in pain, stress, and a euphoric feeling and increases lymphocytes, cells of immunity. It has been shown that repeated exposure to cold stimulates our defenses, improves the quality of sleep and mood.
THE COLD CAN BE OUR ALLY, IF WE DECIDE
"This prerequisite is essential to prepare our body to react positively"
THE COLD ENABLES BETTER CONTROL
Excellent for your vascular system. Your mind is being exercised and so you are able to handle your stress much better. Makes you feel better. Gives a feeling of well being. Stimulator of the metabolism, the cold regenerates the body and the spirit.
THE COLD HELPS YOU SLEEP BETTER
When we sleep, our body temperature drops slightly and this phenomenon is the key to restful sleep. Winter is therefore particularly conducive to healthy sleep since it lowers the temperatures of our rooms and promotes falling asleep in good conditions.
A MIRACULOUS FAT BURNER?
In our body are stored two types of fat, the so-called "white", which accumulates and is responsible for overweight and obesity, and the "brown". The latter is essential for the proper functioning of our body since it is what provides the energy that the body needs.
However, according to a study carried out in 2014 and published in the journal Cell Metabolism, it would seem that under the effect of cold, unwanted white fat would turn into brown fat, which is more easily eliminated. Rather than a long diet, it would then be enough to spend a little time outside. Other researchers have proven that spending 15 minutes shivering in the cold is equivalent to one hour of sports activity. It's time to go face the cold!
