Question: Is this dangerous for a man (or woman)!?
One of my friend who is a former navy seal will "train" by going into a dry sauna and then dunk himself into bathtub full of cold water filled with ice!.
He says going from heart rate of 170 to 60 in a few minutes due to the "diving response" of the cold water is good for you!.
He has a set up where he has a sauna next to a deep bath!.
He says his wife does it too and wants me to try it!. I'm 51 years old man who is in good shape but this sounds dumb!.
Is he crazy!? Sounds kind of dangerous, like it could stop his heart!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ever watch the "polar bears"!. Its a group of people that jump into freezing water together!. They swear by it!. I don't know what the "diving response" is for humans!. For marine mammals it is an adaptation that activates oxygen conservation in their body when their face is chilled by cold water!. As far as I know, we, humans do not have this trait!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Having an ice bath is meant to be good for the muscles
