Some like it cold
Are you nostalgic for the summer, the warmth, the radiant sun? Does winter seem endless? However, there are many reasons to like the cold, so we might as well be positive and appreciate all its good sides!
The benefits of cold on body
The cold is good for the morale, contrary to what you may think. In fact, what gives us a slump is the absence of light. Of course …” the light intensity outside is limited to 1 500 lux on average against 10 000 on a clear summer day … “! (caminteresse.fr)
- Cold boosts the hormones that regulate mood, including endorphins that reduce stress and provide a sense of well-being. It therefore improves mood disorders.
- Cold is a painkiller for muscles and joints…but it also acts against migraines, swelling, heavy legs, sprains…it is a real analgesic and anti-inflammatory.
- It is not by chance that cold therapy is used for athletes.
- It stimulates the blood circulation, the blood arrives faster to the vital organs
- Cold strengthens our immune system by increasing the production of lymphocytes.
- It decreases colds, because when it is very cold, there are fewer viruses and bacteria (if we are sick, it is because we live in a vacuum inside).
- It burns calories, and that without doing anything, it is all beneficial.
- It evacuates the “white fat” (stored on the belly and thighs), and it is the anti-cellulite par excellence!
- It promotes detoxification: cold stimulates the lymphatic system, which eliminates waste. The cold triggers the contraction of the lymphatic vessels, thus promoting evacuation.
- It favors sleep, hence the interest of a cool room (18°), and concentration.

The virtues of cold on the skin
- It decreases the production of sebum, so the skin is less oily in winter.
- It has a tightening effect and tightens the pores, thus refining the skin’s texture, which appears smoother and more radiant.
- It accentuates microcirculation, which restores radiance to the complexion.
- In addition, it firms the skin, making it more toned.
- Decongestant, it deflates the bags under the eyes (you know the famous small cold spoon to apply under the eyes the mornings chagrined … ?).
- It makes the hair shine by closing the scales, and supports their growth
The happiness of cocooning
By the fire, candle lit, cup of hot chocolate, a book in hand, or in front of a series, a big soft sweater… with a pancake or pancakes at Candlemas, a lie-in, chill out… that’s also the pleasure of winter
The feel good plate of winter
Adopt foods full of vitamins and nutrients, and fill your plate with magnesium, omega3, vitamins B and C, good fats, proteins… Nature has provided everything, offering you sweet potatoes, beets, green vegetables such as spinach, lamb’s lettuce, oily fish, oils, whole grains, oil seeds and especially nuts, fresh or dried fruits and especially bananas, dark chocolate, tea.
