WIM HOF METHOD | HEALTHY MIND HEALTHY BODY.

Large companies have demanded extreme levels of demands on their workers in order to maintain high levels of productivity and remain competitive. This situation has caused workers to suffer a high level of physical and mental exhaustion and, as a result, a decrease in their work performance.

Motivated by this situation, companies have invested economic resources in occupational physicians to keep their workers in full conditions so that they can develop their activities without any inconvenience, the results have not been the most expected because these exhaustions that translate into work stress continue to occur.

For all these reasons, there is an urgent need for workers to seek methods that allow them to maintain their optimal health conditions so that they can perform their activities in the best way possible, and one of the methods that exists to achieve this is the Win Hof Method.

The Wim Hof Method consists of a combination of breathing exercises that help to obtain more oxygen and a greater alkalinization of the body, this is accompanied by showers with cold water making possible inflammations that are present in the body are decreased, also normalizes hormones and endorphins are produced making the body get more energy, all this is complemented by a process of meditation.

Where does this method come from? The creator of this method is the Dutch Wim Hof (Iceman) he has become known for being an extreme athlete, Wim Hof has broken several world records that have to do with the cold among some of his feats are the following:

• Running a half marathon through the Arctic Circle, I do it without running shoes and only wearing shorts.
• Holding on with only one finger at altitudes of more than 2000 meters.
• Swimming under ice more than 66 meters.
• Climbing Everest in shorts only.

Wim Hof believes that these feats are not only for special people but anyone can do them, resulting in more energy in your body, have a more resilient immune system, reduce stress levels, helps burn fat, helps improve concentration, among others.

From all of the above it can be concluded that the Wim Hof Method is a process that helps people to keep more energy and therefore maintain a healthy body that will allow them to have a better quality of life from the point of view of health.

In future posts I will be publishing my own experience with the application of this Method.
