Description
Discover the benefits of winter swimming in this beautifully illustrated exploration of cold-water traditions in Scandinavia and around the world.
Danish scientist Dr Susanna Søberg explains how swimming outdoors in nature can boost our happiness, energy, and inner tranquility, and provide a unique boost to our physical and mental health. She delves into the science behind the "cold-shock response" and how our body adapts to cold temperatures, leading to a range of positive effects on our circulation, heart, lungs, skin, immune system, metabolism, and mental health.
Learn how winter swimming can be a powerful tool for improving our overall well-being, and how it's becoming increasingly popular as a way to stay active and healthy during the winter months.
