A strong immune system is vital to a healthy life. There are a lot of things you can do to improve your immune system. Eat right, exercise — and breathe? (PS: try it while you float)
What “The Iceman” Wim Hof is capable of was long viewed as scientifically impossible. It wasn’t until the first Radboud University study in 2011 that things really kicked off.
The study showed that by using his method, Wim was able to voluntarily influence his autonomic nervous system – something which until then was thought impossible. This groundbreaking finding, published in PNAS and Nature, established credibility, quite literally rewrote biology textbooks and piqued scientists’ curiosity.
The [Radboud] study demonstrates that, through practicing techniques learned in a short-term training program, the sympathetic nervous system and immune system can indeed be voluntarily influenced.
Since then, many researchers have taken an interest in the potential benefits of the Wim Hof Method. Today, Wim and his team continue to work with research institutions and various promising studies are currently underway.
