Yes!! I always take cold showers after exercising it’s great
Wonderful. Keep up the good work!
Like some stuff good to cycle on off at times
N don’t try to set no records with cold plunge
It aint no contest
I do it BEFORE workout. Wakes you up really good. Heard of too many downsides right after workout
Precisely what my hubby does after weekly basketball league and his home work outs! Powerful and effective for sure. Game changer for the next day and overall recovery, like you said! Thanks for sharing your incredible wisdom and expertise with us on here, Dr. B! God bless you and keep you🙏🏼
Thanks for sharing what you observed with your husband. Wishing good health to both of you.
@@DrEricBergDCgot any videos on the side effects of Glycerin/ Vegetable Glycerin/ Glycerol in supplements?
Both my mom and I suffered greatly ACUTELY this year alone- Nearly died from taking a B-12 *sublingual* that had this as an ingredient… Let alone the over 10 years that I have been struggling due to the amounts in gel capsules…
🚿 Cold shower are very efficient for muscle soreness after working out, but it’s also likely to cut down the anabolic effect, so it could be annoying in a context of 🏋️ weight training. Personally I saw the 2 effects on myself, consequently hot showers could be interesting to test in this context.
A comparison can be done after getting slightly burned on a small skin surface with boiling water, showering quickly the affected part with cold water is great against the pain and also against the often exaggerated body/skin natural reaction to the hot threat.
huberman said this and now everyone thinks it’s true when there’s so little evidence it effects hypertrophic
No cold for me, I’ll take the heat!
@commonsense
I’m with you I can’t do cold it makes my body hurt worse!!!
I’ll take the heat 😊
Korean day spas utilize alternating between hot and cold dips after showering. Also resting on a heated jade floor and a high heat sauna room lined with Himalayan salt crystals.
Great Eric, I have been the Hot magnesium bath guy forever after my physical work days. Then I apply a brew of topicals and cold is first when I feel I have torn too much, then I heat after.👍 Your red beef for muscle recovery is outrageous great advice! Thnx😊
My hot water heater went out on July 1st of this year, I just replaced it on November 2nd, but during that whole time I took cold showers.
Felt really good during that period.
Thank you so much Dr.Berg..🌹❤️
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching the video.
Keep the ice immersion therapy 6 to 8 hrs away from exercise sessions. Right after exercise is not recommended as the benefits of exercising gets offset.
Dr. Berg is the best doctor anywhere.
I love cold showers but in warm season more. It’s a little bit difficult to persuade myself for a cold water immersion in cold season.
I’m the opposite, I like cold therapy more when it’s cold outside. Not snowing, but cold
@stevegwizzle3560 That’s great, because I know the benefits of it.
Cold before, heat after.
The cold reduces inflammation, but I’ve heard the inflammation is essential, however you need the proper rest before straining the muscle. That’s what I’ve heard.
Same here. I heard you should avoid the cold for at least four hours after exercise or it will ruin the muscle hypotrophy or something.
*Marshmallow root extract for inflammation*
*U can also supplement amino acid L glutamine powder (start at a very small dose), it is what many athletes use for fast recovery. L glutamine helps build protein as well. Do not choose weed*
Terrific detective work… much appreciated
Cold shower in the summer. Yes, yes, yes!
also heard you might not recover as well because of the extra stress it puts on your body. Red light therapy is also a great option.
Dr Berg I sit in a heat sauna after my workout and it feels fantastic I don’t feel tired after working out when I add heat to it.
Love the Berg but I have to make some corrections to this. COLD is likely helpful specifically for inflammation. Otherwise, most of us should do HEAT- even a Sauna visit once a week.
Dr. Huberman, PhD- Standford just talked about this. He said post workout never do COLD. DO WARM. The reason is warm expands blood vessels improving bloodflow, allows muscles and ligaments to stretch nicely (not cramp) and also get the nutrients they need like protein. He said COLD when you first WAKE UP is the way to go. So I might do a workout, then Sauna,..then eat…then 3 hours later if there is any pain/inflammation, some cold might help that. Never right after eating- cold or heat.
Yeah. Seems like a rare miss from Berg
I would ad swimming as well.. it’s a way of life in Iceland going to the swimmingpool every day before or after work.. rain or shine islanders go swimming and in to the hot pots.. Stay cool and Safe everyone 💞✌️😊
