Sometimes one just doesn’t have the energy to do what needs done. How do you manage it?

    When I was living in Japan and using public baths cycling between hot and cold baths a couple of times this way was my favorite thing.

    Appearantly it basically causes blood to do some neat stuff by dilating and constricting blood vessels to move blood to the core or the extremities.

    All I knew is if you cycle about three or four times and drink one beer it’s the cheapest drunk you will ever be.

    • What it does is trigger your parasympathetic nervous system (or maybe the sympathetic, I always lose track of which does what). And yes, that makes blood vessels constrict and dilate and I just find that it enervates me and makes me feel really good.

      I’ll try taking a shot after such a shower and report back. 🤣
