Deliberate hot and cold exposure

Deliberate hot and cold exposure

Cold exposure (11 minutes per week, up to the neck) has been shown to increase brown fat which increases metabolism and the ability to feel comfortable in cold temperatures. 

Regular use of sauna and other heat exposure can reduce mortality by cardiovascular events, stroke, and all-cause mortality. Heat changes the way in which proteins are configured at the molecular level: Heat shock proteins (HSP) ensure cells of the brain and body don’t misfold.

  • Recipe for heat exposure: 57 minutes per week spread out across sessions. 
  • Cold exposure (safe but cold) a couple of times a week.
