RE: Some Healthy Habits to kick start your new year

in Reflectionslast year

Intermittent fasting - actually I'm pretty skinny already and losing muscle through less exercise so I actually want to gain a couple kilos! Hahaha!

I used to do cold showers from the start but I find the soap doesn't get on and off as easily so now I end my shower with a quick dash of cold... it's an easier transition as there's a few seconds of it mixing with the warm water still on your body! Hahaha! It's hot enough in Cape Town that we need to take quick cold showers to cool down in the middle of the day and before bed too!

Ha ha, I don't do it to lose weight, but rather to give my gastrointestinal tract a rest periodically, which can only be a good thing in my opinion. There are tribes who have a fast day every tenth day and I find a lot of the stuff tribes do is derived from wise knowledge passed down over centuries.

On the cold water showers, ya, even doing 30 seconds at the end will do you good, fair play to you.
