Cold is a healer

[Dtris]

Breath is truly an amazing area of study. When you think about it, the air we breathe is our most intimate connection with creation as we are literally breathing in love and light in the form of air and it is nourishing our bodies with oxygen that feeds our cells and beingness.
Cancer and many other diseases can often be a result of our breathing not thoroughly oxygenating our whole bodies.
I just finished a book called 'Breath' by James Nestor that is a nice light-hearted read. Depending on reading preferences it may seem a little elementary as it is very anecdotal but nonetheless a fantastic exploration of the power of breath that modern humanity tends to overlook.

I just finished that book as well. A good read for sure.

While Wim Hof and the breath method are one thing, there is at least some research going into cold exposure as well. It has been shown to increase apoptosis in fat cells for example as well as boost the amount of metabolically active brown fat tissue. There is also evidence it can increase testosterone production in men and has an immune boosting function.
