I don’t know about you, but it seemed as soon as Autumn came, everyone started with colds or other bugs. Like our immunity isn’t as good as it could be.

It led me to revisit ways of strengthening my immunity to help keep things at bay. Whilst we all know that eating correctly helps with this, there are other simple things that can help.

My partner looked at me like I was kidding, but the fact is blasting with cold water at the end of a warm shower is really good way of improving not only your immune system but also reducing inflammation in joints. These blasts of cold water boost white blood cells ( lymphocytes) which are part of the bodies immune system. If this wasn’t impressive enough, it can also help with weight loss triggering the body to burn brown fat, improves mood and improves circulation. As long as the water is cold enough, even a 15 second blast is enough to trigger these responses.

I’m challenging myself to do it for the next 30 days, is anyone brave enough to give it a go too?
