If you frequently get the flu or a cold, your immune system needs to be instantly strengthened to prevent further complications and health issues.
A well-known Russian physician, Dr. Sergei Bubnovkiy, claims that soaking your legs in ice water for 10 to 15 seconds each day will considerably strengthen your immune system. Additionally, he says that by using this approach, the flu and colds can be avoided.
Namely, you should fill a basin with cold water, and add as much ice as you have at home in it, but the more you add, the better.
Then, put the feet in the water and keep them submerged for 10-15 seconds. Repeat every night before going to sleep.
If your immune system is too weak, repeat every 4 hours.
A recent study conducted at the University of Virginia found that the icy water actually stimulates the production of norepinephrine, which is a vital hormone for strengthening the immune system.
Furthermore, the icy water offers numerous other health benefits, including:
Ease Sore Muscles
- Soaking the feet in icy water relieves the pain in the muscles.
Fights Depression
- The cold receptors affect the skin, so the icy water will treat the depression symptoms and improve mood.
Healthier Skin
- The cold water therapy energizes the skin, prevents clotting, and tightens the pores and cuticles.
Hair Shine
- The cold water closes the follicles and makes the hair shiny and smooth.
