Strengthen cardiovascular and circulatory system Thermogenesis is the process by which the body creates heat, consuming loads of calories. They uncovered that the brain areas involved in pain suppression, self-reflection, and well-being were highly activated, suggesting that this method can light up these areas of the brain which ultimately achieve such effects. The body adapts to deal more efficiently with reduced O2 (simulated high-altitude training). A 2018 study examined the brain function of Wim Hof. The table below highlights the key benefits for athletes and martial arts competitors, breaking the benefits into “near term” and “long term.” Near term benefits are those that can be experienced immediately after the exercise, whereas long term benefits can be realized after several months or years of consistent sustained practice.īreathing “ox-energizes” cells, supporting cellular respiration (ATP) and inhibiting fatigue. He has undergone extensive scrutiny in laboratory settings to back-up health claims, including the ability to voluntarily influence the autonomic nervous system (previously thought to be impossible). While most of us are familiar with “Hot Yoga”-Wim describes his method instead as “Winter Yoga.” Also unlike most yogis and mystics, Wim Hof is intent on backing up his method with scientific validation. Wim Hof Method (WHM) consists of three central pillars: breathing exercises, cold exposure, and commitment. After decades of conquering challenges and setting records, Wim created a simple methodology to teach others the secrets behind his seemingly super-human abilities. Wim Hof, known as “The Iceman,” is a Dutch yogi and daredevil famous for his world records related to cold exposure: longest ice bath, longest swim under ice, and climbing Everest in his shorts.
