Is cold actually good for you? We’ve all heard stories about long-lived people from Northern Europe and the hardiness of those who live in cold environments, but can these benefits be available to everyone? Can you avoid sickness and infirmity by exposing yourself to the cold? What are the actual mechanisms of how cold adaptation affects the human body? These are the questions we explored on this week’s Health and Wellness show: The Benefits of Cold Adaptation. We also discussed Wim Hof’s remarkable story, cold adaptation techniques, and heard some live testimonials.

Included as always was Zoya’s Pet Health Segment, discussing dog bites: why they happen, how to know the warning signs, and what to do about them. Join us weekly on Fridays on the SOTT Radio Network!
