A lot of people will, Ben, I don't have like a cold tub like that or a cold pool.
Well, cold showers work.
Here's a little hack for you.
When I travel and I'm in a hotel room and the water isn't cold enough, because let's say I'm in Florida or another warm area, you can just get your ice bucket from the hotel room and or the plastic bag for the laundry that's in the shower.
decrease in risk of certain brain diseases based on what you described, the fact that it can allow for almost like a sealing of the blood-brain barrier, allowing less toxins and metals and inflammatory compounds to cross over into neuronal tissue.
You can fill it with ice from the ice bucket down the hallway and just hang that when you're taking your shower and you can get the iciest, coldest shower imaginable.
Very similar to how a good night of sleep could help with that.
So you can even do this.
when you travel, but there are so many benefits of cold.
Or very similar to how proper mineral intake, particularly magnesium, can help with that.
You know, a lot of people don't talk about what you were mentioning, the fact that it helps with your brain function as well.
Fish oil can help with that.
Well, it turns out that cold, specifically the process of getting the head and neck and face cold, is fantastic for brain function.
But yeah, I mean, it's even me, I've been doing it for years and years.
I don't relish the cold.
Like I don't get in there and I'm like, yes, I'm in the cold now.
So huge variety of benefits.
This feels fantastic.
A lot of people will, Ben, I don't have like a cold tub like that or a cold pool.
Like I kind of hate it.
