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
