WHY? WIM HOF?

WHY? WIM HOF?

Here is some advice from a recently turned 80 year old man. Watch the Joe Rogan Experience 712 Wim Hof on YouTube. Wim Hof is known as the "Iceman". I have been doing the Wim Hot Method for about a year and a half. First, I would offer my breathing advice. I do the breathing method the first thing in the morning, laying in bed and facing a clock. Do this breathing technique for 2 minutes about 28-32 breaths. Push your stomach out and breathe up into you chest(a full breath). Wim Hof emphasizes to just"let your breathe fall out". Don't push it out. It is a sense that in that 2 minutes you have taken in more air than you have let out(actually oxygen). On the last out, hold your breath. I am 80 years old and I do this 3 times every morning. I hold my breath 3 minutes on the first attempt and 3 and a half even 4 minutes on the final two. You would think this impossible. but it is true.

Now the second part of the Wim Hof Method is COLD SHOWERS. Well at the least cold showers. Wim Hof is also into ice water. I take a cold shower every day(occasionally I skip a day). I can tell you cold showers in mid winter in northern Kansas are COLD. What is the point of this Method. According to Wim Hof we have lost our natural immunity by eliminating nature's stress with warm houses, air conditioning etc. We have created a very narrow environment for ourselves. Well I am 80. My resting heart rate is 55 beats a minute. I averaged walking 3.9 every day last year. My immune system is stellar.(oops "knock on wood") Before I started I was having trouble turning to look back behind my car when backing out of a parking place. You know, old and stiff. And 2 or 3 days after starting the Method I was backing out of a parking place and all of a sudden I realized I could really turn. Turned far, far, I was so loose and I had done nothing but the Method. Google - Wim Hof --because the Method does affect your body's ability to fight. It increases that ability. And you will feel UPLIFTED
