This is the Conclusion of scientists from the Dutch University Radbaud. Employees of this scientific institution took the experience of Vin Hof, whose name is inscribed in the Guinness Book of Records, as a basis for research. Note that Hof is known for his body, which differently perceives the cold, which allows him to take long ice baths or climb snow-capped peaks in light summer clothes. According to him, such results led to the use of unique methods, due to which the sensitivity to low temperatures is reduced. Based on the methods of Hof, scientists conducted an experiment. Participants were divided into two groups. Part of the volunteers took cold baths and lay down on the snow, strengthening this with meditations and breathing exercises. Over time, in comparison with the second control group, interesting indicators were identified. The first group significantly strengthened immunity and coped with colds without problems. In addition, the blood of the participants was characterized by a lower concentration of inflammatory proteins.
So, non-medical, «folk» ways of maintaining health, breathing techniques and meditation confirmed their effectiveness. Scientists have hypothesized that this may be explained by the fact that the nervous and immune systems are related.
