Cold Water Swimmers are Fit and Ageless
My father prides himself on being able to endure the coldest weather wearing only a small amount of clothing, and he has enjoyed swimming in all parts of the world in all kinds of weather. He is well known for his cold-water swimming and is welcomed as a member at Polar Bear Clubs around the world.
On several occasions, Dad and the noted Dr. Robert Jackson had great sport breaking the ice and swimming with the Boston Brownies of the famous “L” Street Bath House in Massachusetts. Here you’ll find some of the finest ageless physical specimens in the world, including people in their 60s, 70s, 80s, even some in their 90s.
The same is true of the Polar Bears of Coney Island and at Montrose Beach in Chicago and those at the popular Bradford Beach in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. They are all fit, amazing and ageless. These healthy, hearty people who enjoy swimming in ice-cold water are all deep, full breathers. Many of them follow our Bragg System of Super Power Breathing. When you Super Power Breathe, you enjoy cold water swimming because both deep breathing and swimming are invigorating and energizing!
We certainly don’t recommend that everyone jump into ice-cold water! Let’s leave that to the people who have developed bodies with perfect thermostatic control. You can start slowly with alternating cold and warm showers. These swimmers are just an example of the power your body can develop when you are filled with oxygen at all times. There is no limit to your powers of resistance or your feeling of well-being when every cell in your body is filled with precious life-giving oxygen!
The laws of nature governing health and illness are ageless; they apply equally everywhere at all times. There is no down time with the laws of nature, and they do not play favorites. – Linda Rector Page, N.D., Ph.D.
