Can I slowly immerse my body over my first 3 plunges or do I need to go head level deep the first time?
Post Body

Hi, so I want to first make sure I don't have any negative reactions as in ectopic heartbeats or Afib as some people have reported their heart going off rhythm. I walk in very cold temperature, passed stress tests and do get the occasional PVC or ectopic under stress or if I drink caffeine. So I think I'm good, but still want to do this carefully.

So what I was thinking is filling my bathtub all the way so I can lie down chest deep in the cold water if I wanted to on the first attempt

But first dunk my legs up to my knees

Then sit down with water up to my waist

Then lie down where the water is up to my chest
is this okay as a step by step way for my body to get used to it? Or must you dunk the

whole body the first time?

Also is a 2 min plunge long enough to create shock proteins for cell generation, reducing inflammation, and oxidative stress or is the min 3 min?\

Thanks from Toronto, Canada
