Every day more and more people try to watch over the health, in the modern world there is a huge number of the factors which are negatively influencing a condition of an organism. Except sports activities and healthy nutrition favorable impact on an organism is made by hardening.
Important! Training by cold water is strictly forbidden at heart failure, coronary heart disease and tachycardia.
Since ancient times applied such ways of hardening of an organism as training by the sun, air and water. Let's talk about hardening by water.
Than hardening of an organism is useful
It was since ancient times noticed that cold water makes the invigorating and strengthening impact on an organism, and warm and hot, on the contrary, weakens. From here a conclusion that water of low temperatures has the tempering effect at impact on a human body arises. The advantage of hardening consists in the following:
- increase in immunity;
- improvement of thermal control of an organism;
- the increased resistance to stressful situations;
- normalization of weight;
- improvement of a condition of skin;
- restoration of a tone of muscles.
Preparatory stage
In any business concerning health a responsible approach and preparation is necessary. If to make rash actions, to make procedures about which learned by hearsay or casually read it is possible to do only harm to the organism. How to begin it is correct to become tempered cold water in house conditions for obtaining the maximum result? At first we will consider a preparatory stage.
Firm spirit
Important component of positive result from hardening — a psychological spirit. It is necessary accurately for to define what it is necessary for you for that you want to receive as a result by what methods you will achieve results.
Also not superfluous will be to draw to itself the plan of hardening: how many to allocate for it to time on what days, etc. Before hardening you have to be firmly sure of the intentions, doubts there should not be, otherwise the brain will oppose in every possible way to process and even to perceive it a certain violence over a body.
Air bathtubs
Air bathtubs have to become the next stage of preparation. The stress for the body which did not get used to water procedures will be much more smaller if at the first stages you become tempered air.
Air bathtubs depending on air temperature share on:
- tepid (22 °C);
- indifferent (21–22 °C);
- cool (17–20 °C);
- moderately cold (9–16 °C);
- cold (0–8 °C);
- very cold (0 °C).
It is important! If you on an etiology are forced to miss procedures for hardening longer than 7 days, after recovery it is necessary to begin process from the very beginning.
In quality of training water apply cool air bathtubs lasting 20-30 minutes to hardening. Further pass to rubdowns.
Rubdown
For rubdowns use fabric from natural materials. It is necessary to begin with water which temperature about 30 °C, reducing temperature by 1 °C each time and to bring it to 20 °C. After the procedure the integument is pounded a dry towel to a warming up.
The second stage
After preparatory procedures became the norm and became a daily habit, it is possible to pass to the main procedures of hardening: to a contrast shower and hardening of feet. And in this part of article we will tell how it is correct to become tempered by means of these procedures.
Hardening of feet
Training of feet is carried out in two steps:
- douche;
- foot bathtubs.
Douche of feet is begun at water temperature about 26 °C, lowering its time in 2-3 days on 1 °C. As a result water temperature needs to be brought to 12 °C. After douches of a foot pound a dry rough towel to redness.
In few weeks it is possible to pass to foot bathtubs. In a basin gather water (about 20 °C), become in it and cross from one leg on another during a couple of minutes. Further water temperature is gradually reduced. Training of feet needs to be carried out daily.
It is also possible to use contrast leg baths. For this purpose two basins will be necessary: one with warm water (about 37 °C), another — with cool (about 20 °C). Lower legs at first in warm water, approximately for 30 seconds, then in cold — for about 15 seconds. Repeat the procedure 3 times then pound legs a towel. For the subsequent procedures temperature of hot water needs to be increased gradually (to bring to 40 °C), and cold, on the contrary, to lower (up to 15 °C).
Contrast shower
The contrast shower consists in douche of a body alternately cold water, is hotter.
Whether you know? Thanks to hardening of people can be included even in the Guinness Book of Records. So, the resident of the Netherlands V. Hof was in the container with ice for 1 hour 52 minutes 42 seconds!
It is better to begin with a similar shower for legs, gradually passing to all body. In this procedure adhere to the following algorithm:
- To have a shower bath warm water.
- To gradually increase water temperature to hot and to have a shower bath about a minute.
- It is sharp to switch water to cold, to have a shower bath also minute.
- To change hot water on cold from 3 to 5 times.
- It is necessary to finish with cold water.
- After a shower to be pounded by a dry towel.
Final stage: douche
The final stage of training is directly douche of all body water from a bucket. Thus, there is a release of internal reserves of an organism, and all forces are directed to restoration of temperature condition. And there is an increase in immunity.
As well as after all earlier described procedures, it is recommended to pound a body a rough towel and to muffle in a dressing gown. Also there will be no cup of hot tea superfluous. It is better to carry out douche in the fresh air. In cold season duration should not exceed 10 seconds, in warm — 1-2 minutes. Water temperature should not be below 15 °C, but it is necessary to bring it to such mark gradually, since 30 °C.
Whether you know? Annually the championship on swimming in cold water is held to Tyumen - it is a great way of promoting of hardening among the population.
The best and effective technique of douche is an instant pouring out of all volume of water on a body, including the head. Douche is contraindicated at tuberculosis, diseases of kidneys, tumors, inflammatory processes of internals.
Useful tips for beginners
Finally we brought together several councils for beginners how to become tempered not to be ill:
- Procedures have to be regular and continuous.
- Increase holodovy loadings on complexity and time.
- Use an integrated approach.
- Before hardenings be convinced of absence of chronic diseases.
- You do not hurry in development of science of hardening, do everything gradually, doing not pass any stage.
The principles of hardening are that and now you know what to begin with. Be consecutive and persistent in the actions, and your organism by all means will be grateful to you.
If you want to improve in a complex the life, then use councils for food, sports activities, management of the emotions and also increase in efficiency at work
