So Eskimos live Vey long lifes?
as the winter cold slowly come on.
I dont turn up the heater. if it gets very cold.
I just put on more cloths to keep worm.

I save on my heating bill.
you get uset to it. my room team at winter is 16'C.
I have seen a lot that people with radiators
will get more colds and flu a lot more.

people forget that we came form millions of years ago!
and are bodies are still working to live in the out doors.
we should get cold in the winter.
and it helps kill bugs and greams.

If you use the very cold water.
start Slowly!!! do it one time a week and get worm soon after.
after 2 weeks do it two times a week.
and Dont have the heat up high in the winter.
never go below 15'C in your home.

So Eskimos, who have a completely Paleo diet, and live in very cold climes, live forever?

I find visits to my cold homeland and the mountains of New Zealand have rejuvenating properties. Thanks for this information. I m going to do some experiments.

The Nazis were up to this during WW2 all be it to a more extreme level. They experimented on the poor Jewish subjects and learned all kinds of things about anti-ageing regenerative properties of the body by inducing hypothermia(plus all kinds of other weird unholy stuff)and then performing vivisection the poor sods, sometimes still alive. Sad fact is they learned a lot that can actually help man rather than hinder. But the cost, my God!

In modern times there is a rumor that Lance Armstong trained in a cold room, and, of course, Rocky Balboa

old lancy gave up in the end, on the drug fight.... the idea that it hardens the body, keeps it strong, i would agree with.....

I suppose when it hits -40 this year, I'll go for a roll in the snow
(Wouldn't be the first time!)

I like to go for a surf in the middle of winter when it so cold it burns, after a bit you warm up and it becomes quite comfortable although I do find there is a bit of mental strength to get past the initial burn lol.

Oh great, more snake oil, cancer and aging cures.

A dangerous one at that.

Yup I can see large numbers of dumbass people going out there to lay nekked in the snow and die of exposure..

When I was young my mom would always tell me to jump into the cold pool after being in a hot tub. She said it was good for my skin. Sometimes when taking a showing I would turn it to cold right before I got out of the shower. I stopped doing this years ago, I guess I just forgot about it. I always felt amazing after being in the cold and then warming up. Like after skiing and then sitting in a hot tub, or how invigorating it feels when you walk outside into the cold after being warm. There seems to be benefits to the body with extreme temp change, just didn't know it was on the dna level. I give this a thumbs up! I'm going to start doing this and see how I feel.

Interesting reading. Thanks for the information

I'd like to try some of this and am currently working on my diet/excercise, though it seems I'm the titrating type. My raynaulds won't really allow me the cold water/ice/snow without putting me into a flare [mine is acute], but I can handle cool temps. and hope some of this works for us all
