Welcome back to this episode hosted by Doctor Gan, where we dive into the intriguing topic of cold exposure and cryotherapy. As the trend of engaging in cold exposure intensifies, it's essential to investigate whether these practices are scientifically backed and beneficial. Doctor Gan gives a thorough analysis of this hot topic, from the physiological responses to potential health advantages.
I emphasizes the human body's natural response to extreme cold, including vasoconstriction and vasodilation, and discusses the potential dangers of prolonged exposure, such as hypothermia. He then shifts the discussion to the proposed bene
Key points:
Physiological Response: Exposure to extreme cold leads to vasoconstriction followed by vasodilation, aiming to protect vital organs.
