Hardening of the body continued
Vigor and strength to the ripe old age
I mentioned recently about the hardening of the body and health through walking barefoot.
First of all, splashed with hot and cold water causes stress. But a positive stress. Activates the defense forces and strengthens the body. This results in a positive impact, refreshes and stimulates.
These types of physiological shock is necessary for the elderly. It stimulates a number of metabolic processes, making it easier to maintain the vigor and strength into old age.
