Notes:
Susanna Søberg, PhD., earned her doctorate researching metabolism and has worked for many years designing and conducting clinical studies. Her most recent research and the background for this book have been on fat reduction through winter
swimming
at the Tryg Foundation's Center for Physical Activity, Denmark. Winter
Swimming
, to be published in more than ten languages, is her first book.
Summary:
"Whether in lake, lido, river or sea, we know the benefits of
swimming
outdoors and in nature - environmentally friendly and accessible, it can influence our happiness, our energy and our inner tranquility, and give us that winter glow. Danish scientist Dr Susanna Søberg leads us step by step into the icy water and explains the 'cold-shock response', the massive endorphin rush as our body reacts and adapts to very cold temperatures through the winter season. Not only do our circulation, heart, lungs and skin respond positively, but our immune system and metabolism too. In particular she explains how our brown fat is activated to benefit multiple health conditions. Winter
swimming
is fast becoming one of our most popular pastimes. This beautifully illustrated exploration of cold-water traditions in
Scandinavia
and around the world shows how it can have a significant positive impact on our physical and mental health, confidence and well-being, providing such a boost to body and soul."--Back cover.
