Winter swimming improves the quality of life. I eat better, sleep better, have more energy, think more quickly, rarely catch a cold, and am less likely to suffer from other diseases.

2. Winter swimming can promote endocrine function.

When the human body is exposed to strong cold stimulation, it is immediately reflected through the nervous system to the pituitary gland, adrenal glands, pancreas, gonads and other glands, and each gland secretes corresponding hormones, the so-called neurohumoral. Then the physiological functions of the corresponding organs are adjusted through the corresponding nerve centers to establish a new balance. Logically, the secretory functions of various glands should decline with age, but tests have shown that the secretion of thyroid hormone in winter swimmers has increased.

4. It can enhance your immunity.

Immunity refers to the body's defense and resistance against invading pathogens. After winter swimming, many indicators such as lymphocytes, white blood cells, macrophages, immunoglobulins, etc., are significantly increased compared to before winter swimming. These indexes can indicate that a person's immunity is improving.

After winter swimming, myocardial contractility is enhanced, blood circulation is accelerated, and the functions of various body systems are promoted and develop in a positive direction.

7. Winter swimming increases blood vessel elasticity.

Winter swimming is like vascular gymnastics, which increases blood vessel elasticity, accelerates blood flow, reduces fat particles and cholesterol deposited on blood vessel walls due to sprinting, reduces and delays arteriosclerosis, and prevents the formation of blood clots and coronary artery infarction.
