NAVY SEAL SAYS TO END SHOWERS WITH COLD WATER

Former Navy SEAL Clint Emerson, author of “100 Deadly Skills: The SEAL Operative’s Guide to Eluding Pursuers, Evading Capture, and Surviving Any Dangerous Situation”, explains why you should end a shower with cold water. He says, “In SEAL training you spend a lot of time in cold water and there’s actually some science to the madness of putting us in cold water. One, the reason professional athletes do it all the time after a workout is it increases recovery. It vasoconstricts the entire body, squeezing out all of that lactic acid so that you can feel good to go the next day and be ready for the next day training. It keeps your joints and inflammation down, vasoconstricts everything down and allows you to keep moving forward, hopefully without any more injury.”
* Ending your showers with a blast of cold water. Yeah, I used to live in that apartment, too.
* How is this a “Deadly Skill”? Does the blast of cold water make you slip in the shower and crack your head open?
* What if you don’t want to vasoconstrict your whole body?
* Yeah, “shrinkage” will really have you feeling good about yourself as you head out to your day.
* I took a similar course except instead of SEAL training, I trained on a sofa.
* Well, they both have 4 letters.
* Great, ISIS just bought a copy of this book for their training manual.
* I took a lot of cold showers back in high school, but it didn’t work. I was horny as hell anyway.
