On January 19, the feast of the Baptism of Jesus Christ, it is believed that the water in all reservoirs is holy and can heal the human body. What could be the secret? Bathing in cold water forces the body to work in extreme mode in order to maintain a normal body temperature, so regular cold water bathing strengthens the cardiovascular system.
Heat loss is a signal to the body. It requires increased blood flow to the skin, which contains many small blood vessels. The capillaries constrict during the procedure, and then expand to ensure blood flow. Cold water serves as a complete workout for the circulatory system. You will no longer have cold hands and feet, many also note an improvement in skin quality.
