About this deal

I just started winter swimming and wanted to know all the benefits. Also wanted to know how to stay safe when ice swimming. A beautifully crafted book… as someone who started cold water swimming this year, it was a ‘must buy’ when I saw it in the bookshop

Winter Swimming: The Nordic Way Towards a Healthier and Happier Life Winter Swimming: The Nordic Way Towards a Healthier and Happier

huvitava faktina sain teada, et külmaks loetakse vett 14C ja allapoole, mis minu tagasihoidliku hinnangu kohaselt... ei ole üldse veel eriti külm. This is a great introductory book to winter swimming providing statistics and anecdotal evidence regarding the positive impact that winter swimming has had. The book is also aesthetically pleasing with beautiful photos scattered throughout it. An easy read to go through as I got through it in 2.5hrs. However wasn't quite what I'd expected. Don't get me wrong the history of cold water swimming was enlightening and the information on saunas was informative for me.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. This book depicts the benefits of cold water swimming/winter swimming in bite size science. Thoroughly enjoyed use of beautiful Nordic and international images. Also, she had a section on swimming naked. I have to wonder if that will be nixed for American readers. Also, while there is a bibliography at the end of the book, there are no clear citations linked to each claim made throughout the book. It's always vaguely expressed as in: "a study" or "a cohort test", "studies" etc. without any clear specification. That came as a surprise considering that the author has a Ph.D.

Winter Swimming by Susanna Søberg, Dr. Elizabeth DeNoma - Waterstones Winter Swimming by Susanna Søberg, Dr. Elizabeth DeNoma -

The author studied for her Ph.D, the role of brown fat, metabolism and winter swimming. So while I was looking for a how to, brown fat kept coming up. She would also talk about other benefits to winter swimming… mental health, inflammation, fitness with the caveat that it’s inconclusive. Um, I just read The book on wild swimming called Chill that showed it wasn’t so inconclusive. A blend of how, and why, and what . . . A beautiful celebration . . . Visual inspiration for anyone hovering on the edge” Sunday IndependentThe book is ok. As some people have stated it's repetitive, and it is. I agree with another reviewer (Andrew) on his assessment of the book. Loads of practical guidance, all the scientific studies . . . beautiful photos and illustrations” Dr Rangan Chatterjee lootsin siit veidi rohkem teadust ja konkreetsemaid seletusi selle kohta, kuidas külmas vees ujumine inimese organismile mõjub. aga sain teada, et see teadus on veel tegemata, kuigi autor juba tegeleb ja kunagi vast tuleb ka. siiamaani oli tal meile pakkuda palju entusiasmi ja mõned teooriad, mille tõestusi, kui need kord tulevad, loeks täitsa huviga küll. eelkõige siis pruuni rasva osas, et mis see ikkagi on ja kuidas täpselt töötab ja kuidas külma veega seotud on. ja et kas tal on roll diabeedi ennetamises ja kaalukaotuses ja sellistes asjades. Great book for anyone looking to get into cold exposure and know the benefits and why everything happens as it is
