Is winter swimming good for your health?

Five benefits of winter swimming

Winter swimming has many advantages, and the biggest advantage is of course physical fitness. There are many examples in this regard, and many people who have personal experience have discussed them quite vividly. Although there are still different views on the fitness effect of winter swimming, the fact that the main body of the winter swimming team is mainly composed of intellectuals is the most positive and convincing evidence.

The second advantage of winter swimming is to regulate the spirit. Everyone will be physically and mentally exhausted after running for a day, and a few things that are not suitable for you will make you panic. Winter swimming is a kind of exercise that makes the body and nerves highly nervous. After this intense stimulation, people will relax wonderfully, and fatigue and anxiety can often disappear.

The third benefit of winter swimming is to keep out the cold. This may be a bit confusing, but it is actually the truth that the ancients said that "everything will be turned upside down." After being frozen by cold water, there is nothing colder than this. The cold wind scares those who wrap their faces in hats, scarves and masks, but when it blows on the faces of winter swimmers, it is as gentle as the spring breeze in March. In fact, it is no problem for modern people to use their own nutrients to keep out the cold, but many people don't understand this. They tried to isolate themselves from the nature where they were born and raised for generations. The consequences of this maladjustment are more than one flu. Winter swimmers are almost insulated from colds.

1 1.24 years ago, the shipwreck reminded me of another benefit of winter swimming: self-help. Of the 3 12 people aboard the Dashun, 22 survived, of whom 13 were rescued by nearby ships, and the other 9 were rescued by swimming or drifting to the shore by themselves. The only surviving woman, Ms. Dong Ying, swam back and walked ashore by herself. She is a winter swimmer. At the water temperature at that time, 1 sea, a distance that so many lives could not cross, was not difficult for winter swimmers. The other winter swimmer on the boat is a little too clever. After he swam ashore, he got on the highway and stopped a taxi and ran away. Afterwards, he asked the relevant units to look for it for a while. This example may be extreme. Although my generation grew up in Wuyue water town, the possibility of capsizing and falling into the water is still very small after all. But this example is enough to show that the tenacity and vitality of life will only be fully demonstrated when it challenges the limit.

As long as you turn on the TV and watch sports channels, white people monopolize almost all sports with adventure or extreme colors, while China's so-called "sports population" mostly plays low-intensity sports such as radio exercises, Mulan boxing, table tennis and jogging. So we can develop sports and strengthen people's physique? The author is deeply skeptical! The image of a rich and powerful nation should be brave, full of masculinity and blood, which is the fifth benefit of winter swimming in my opinion.

Winter swimming and autumn outing are all suitable.

Speaking of winter swimming, many people talk about "cold" color change, which is a bit scary. Therefore, only a few people regard winter swimming as fun and can adapt to it. For most swimmers, it is more practical to advocate autumn outing. In September and June of 10, the water temperature slowly decreased from 25℃ to 12℃ with the air temperature, which is suitable for most people. Summon up more courage and swim to the winter solstice.

Winter swimming is scientific.

1, step by step-beginners should start in summer, adapt in autumn and pass in winter. 2. It varies from person to person-swimming at different distances and times must be different according to different conditions (including gender, age, physique, fatness and swimming skills). 3, adhere to the regular-beginners had better swim every day, that is, the old winter swimming can not be less than two or three times a week. We should properly handle the relationship between "less travel and more travel". Since winter, I have to swim one or two hundred meters every day.
