Hi everyone. Welcome back to the Simple 00:04
English podcast where we break down big 00:07
ideas in simple words. I'm your host 00:09
Lisa and today get ready to feel a 00:12
chill. I'm already cold just thinking 00:15
about it. Hey everyone, I'm Levi and 00:18
we're talking about something that might 00:20
sound crazy but could actually change 00:21
your life. 00:23
Cold showers. Yes, you heard that right. 00:25
Taking a cold shower sounds like torture 00:28
to most people, especially in the 00:30
morning. But there's some real science 00:32
behind why more and more people are 00:34
turning that temperature dial all the 00:36
way down. That's right. It's not just 00:38
some internet trend. Athletes, doctors, 00:40
and even CEOs are doing it. And the 00:42
benefits, they go way beyond just waking 00:44
you up. So, why do people willingly 00:46
freeze themselves every day? Are they 00:49
superhuman? Are they crazy? Or is there 00:52
something we're missing? 00:54
Stick with us. We're going to talk about 00:57
what happens to your body and brain 00:59
during a cold shower, why it might make 01:00
you healthier, and how to start if 01:02
you've never tried it before. And don't 01:04
worry, we're keeping it simple and real, 01:06
just like always. All right, Levi, ready 01:09
to dive in? Let's jump into the cold 01:12
water together. As always, don't forget 01:15
to check out the free PDF file in the 01:17
comment section below to get the full 01:19
transcript and vocabulary for this 01:21
episode. 01:23
[Music] 01:25
Okay, Levi, let's start with the 01:29
science. What actually happens when you 01:31
take a cold shower? So, when cold water 01:33
hits your body, the first thing you do 01:36
is probably gasp, right? That's your 01:38
body reacting to the shock. Your heart 01:40
beats faster, your blood vessels 01:42
tighten. This is called vasoc 01:44
constriction, and your body starts 01:46
working hard to keep you warm. That 01:48
doesn't sound very relaxing. Haha. It's 01:50
not at first, but that reaction actually 01:53
has some big benefits. For example, your 01:56
circulation improves. Blood moves more 01:58
efficiently through your organs and 02:01
muscles, which helps your body work 02:02
better. So, cold water kind of gives 02:04
your body a workout. Exactly. And it 02:06
also affects your brain. Cold showers 02:10
can trigger the release of endorphins, 02:12
the same happy chemicals you get after a 02:14
good workout or when you laugh. Oh, I 02:16
need those endorphins in the morning. 02:19
Right. A lot of people say a cold shower 02:21
gives them more energy and focus than a 02:22
cup of coffee. Really? But what about 02:24
the immune system? I read somewhere that 02:27
cold showers can actually help you not 02:30
get sick as often. Great point. There 02:32
are studies showing that people who take 02:34
cold showers regularly get fewer colds. 02:36
It might be because the cold stimulates 02:38
the production of white blood cells, 02:40
which help fight illness. 02:42
Okay, so let's recap. Cold showers help 02:44
with circulation, mood, energy, and even 02:48
immunity. But what about stress and 02:50
anxiety? 02:53
Actually, cold exposure can train your 02:54
body to deal with stress better. You 02:56
know how some days everything feels 02:59
overwhelming? A cold shower is like 03:00
stress practice. It teaches your body 03:02
how to stay calm even in uncomfortable 03:04
situations. 03:06
That makes sense. You're basically 03:07
learning how to breathe through 03:10
discomfort. 03:11
Exactly. Athletes do this with ice baths 03:13
all the time, but you don't need an ice 03:15
tub. Just start with 30 seconds of cold 03:17
at the end of your regular shower. I've 03:19
tried that. It's super hard at first. I 03:22
think I screamed the first time. That's 03:24
totally normal, but over time, your body 03:27
gets used to it. It's a bit like going 03:29
to the gym. The first day is rough, but 03:31
if you keep going, it becomes part of 03:33
your routine. So, is this something 03:35
everyone should try? Well, not everyone. 03:37
If you have certain health conditions 03:40
like heart problems, definitely talk to 03:41
a doctor first. But if you're healthy, 03:43
it can be a powerful habit. Just start 03:45
slow. That's good advice. And maybe not 03:47
during a snowstorm. 03:50
Yeah, timing is important, but really, 03:52
even just 30 seconds of cold water can 03:55
make a difference. And the best part, 03:57
it's free. You don't need a gym or 04:00
expensive supplements. Just a shower and 04:01
a little courage. 04:03
[Music] 04:06
Okay, time for a quick fun fact. Levi, 04:09
did you know that some of the most 04:13
successful people in the world swear by 04:14
cold showers? 04:16
Oh, yeah. Like who? Well, Tony Robbins, 04:18
the famous life coach, jumps into a cold 04:22
plunge pool every single morning. And 04:25
Wim Hoff, also known as the Iceman, has 04:27
built an entire method around cold 04:30
exposure and breathing. 04:33
That's wild. I even read that Tim 04:35
Ferrris, the author of the 4-Hour Work 04:37
Week, uses cold showers to help with fat 04:39
loss and mental clarity. Yep. It's like 04:41
a secret weapon for high performers. 04:44
Makes you wonder if it works for them, 04:46
maybe it could work for us, too. 04:49
Totally. And the best part, it doesn't 04:52
take an hour a day. Just a few minutes 04:54
and you're done. 04:56
[Music] 04:58
All right, friends. That's a wrap on 05:02
today's chili topic. Let's warm up with 05:04
a little recap. So, we talked about how 05:06
cold showers improve blood flow, boost 05:09
mood, strengthen the immune system, and 05:12
train your body to handle stress. Plus, 05:14
they're free, simple, and don't take 05:16
much time. Just a few seconds each day 05:18
can start to make a difference. And hey, 05:20
we're not saying you need to suffer. 05:23
Start small. Try ending your warm shower 05:25
with 10 seconds of cold, then build up. 05:27
Exactly. This isn't about being tough. 05:30
It's about building habits that help 05:33
your body and mind feel better. 05:35
And if it's too much, that's okay. Just 05:38
learning about it is the first step. 05:40
Thanks so much for hanging out with us 05:42
today on the Simple English podcast. If 05:43
you learned something new or feel 05:46
inspired to try a cold shower, give us a 05:47
thumbs up and leave a comment. 05:50
Let us know how it goes. And if you 05:52
screamed the first time, don't worry. We 05:54
all do. See you next time. And stay cool 05:56
in every way. Bye. 05:58
Later everyone. 06:02
[Music] 06:04
Okay everyone, it's time to learn some 06:07
important vocabulary related to the 06:09
topic. The first word is circulation. It 06:11
means the movement of blood through the 06:14
body. Example, cold showers improve 06:16
blood circulation by making your heart 06:20
pump more 06:22
efficiently. Next word is endorphins. It 06:23
means natural chemicals produced by the 06:27
body that help relieve stress and pain 06:29
and create feelings of 06:32
happiness. Example, after a cold shower, 06:35
your body releases endorphins that make 06:38
you feel more awake and happy. Next word 06:40
is vasoc constriction. It means the 06:43
narrowing of blood vessels which reduces 06:46
blood flow. Example, cold water causes 06:48
vasoc constriction which helps reduce 06:52
inflammation in the muscles. 06:54
Next word is immune system. It means the 06:57
body's defense system against infections 07:00
and 07:02
diseases. Example, regular cold showers 07:04
may help strengthen your immune system, 07:07
making you less likely to get 07:10
sick. Next word is stress response. It 07:12
means how your body reacts to a 07:16
challenge or threat both physically and 07:17
mentally. 07:20
Example, taking cold showers can train 07:23
your body to have a healthier stress 07:26
response. Next word is resilience. It 07:30
means the ability to recover quickly 07:34
from difficulties or 07:36
stress. Example, cold exposure can build 07:38
mental resilience by teaching you to 07:42
stay calm under 07:44
pressure. The last word of today is 07:46
metabolism. It means the chemical 07:48
processes in the body that convert food 07:51
into energy. Example, some studies 07:53
suggest cold showers can boost your 07:56
metabolism and help with fat loss. 07:58

大家好,欢迎回到《简单英语》播客,我们用简单的话语分解复杂的想法。我是你们的主持人
丽莎,今天我们要讨论一个话题,可能会让你感到一阵寒意。光是想想我就觉得冷了。嗨,大家好,我是莱维,
我们要讨论一个听起来可能有点疯狂,但实际上可能改变你生活的事情。
冷水澡。没错,你没听错。
对大多数人来说,洗冷水澡简直是一种折磨,尤其是在早上。但越来越多的人选择调低水温,
这背后其实有科学依据。没错,这不只是什么网络潮流。运动员、医生,
甚至CEO都在这样做。而且它的好处远不止让你清醒,
那么,为什么人们愿意每天让自己冻一冻呢?他们是超人吗?还是疯了?
还是我们忽略了什么?
请继续收看。我们将讨论洗冷水澡时身体和大脑会发生什么变化,为什么它可能让你更健康,
以及如果你从未尝试过,该如何开始。别担心,我们会保持简单和真实,
一如既往。好了,莱维,准备好深入探讨了吗?让我们一起跳进冷水中吧。
如往常一样,别忘了查看下方的免费PDF文件,获取本集的完整文本和词汇表。
(音乐)
好了,莱维,让我们从科学开始。洗冷水澡时,身体会发生什么变化?
当冷水接触到身体时,你的第一反应可能是倒抽一口气,对吧?这是身体对寒冷的反应。
心跳加快,血管收缩。这叫做血管收缩,身体开始努力保持温暖。
这听起来不怎么放松。哈哈,一开始确实不是,但这种反应其实有很大的好处。
例如,血液循环会改善。血液更有效地流经器官和肌肉,有助于身体更好地运作。
所以,冷水澡某种程度上是在锻炼身体。没错。它还影响大脑。
冷水澡可以触发内啡肽的分泌,这与运动后或大笑时产生的快乐物质相同。
我早上需要这些内啡肽。没错。很多人说,冷水澡让他们比喝一杯咖啡更精神、更专注。
真的吗?那免疫系统呢?我在哪里读到过,冷水澡实际上可以帮助你减少生病。
好问题。有研究表明,定期洗冷水澡的人感冒次数更少。
这可能是因为寒冷刺激了白细胞的产生,而白细胞有助于抵抗疾病。
好了,让我们总结一下。冷水澡有助于改善循环、提升情绪、增加精力,甚至增强免疫力。
那压力和焦虑呢?
实际上,接触寒冷可以训练身体更好地应对压力。你知道有时候一切都让人感到压垮吗?
冷水澡就像压力练习。它教你的身体如何在不舒服的情况下保持冷静。
这很有道理。你基本上是在学习如何在不适中呼吸。
没错。运动员经常用冰浴来做这件事,但你不需要冰桶。
只需在常规淋浴结束时用30秒冷水即可。我试过。一开始很难。
我想我第一次尖叫了。这很正常,但随着时间的推移,身体会适应。
这有点像去健身房。第一天很难,但如果你坚持下去,它就会成为你的日常习惯。
那么,这是每个人都应该尝试的吗?不完全是。
如果你有某些健康问题,如心脏病,一定要先咨询医生。但如果你健康,
这可以是一个强大的习惯。慢慢开始就好。这是一个好建议。
也许不要在暴风雪天尝试。
是的,时机很重要,但即使只有30秒的冷水,也能产生差异。
最好的部分是,它是免费的。你不需要健身房或昂贵的补充剂,只需要一个淋浴和一个小小的勇气。
(音乐)
好了,是时候分享一个有趣的事实了。莱维,你知道吗?
世界上一些最成功的人都坚持洗冷水澡?
哦,是的。比如谁?比如托尼·罗宾斯,这位著名的生活教练,每天早上都会跳进冷水池。
还有维姆·霍夫,也被称为“冰人”,他围绕冷水暴露和呼吸建立了一整套方法。
这太疯狂了。我甚至读到过,《四小时工作周》的作者蒂姆·费里斯用冷水澡来帮助减脂和提高精神清晰度。
没错。这就像高绩效者的秘密武器。这让你想知道,如果对他们有效,也许对我们也有效。
完全正确。而且最好的部分是,它不需要每天花一个小时。只需要几分钟就完成了。
(音乐)
好了,朋友们。今天的话题到此结束。让我们用一个小总结来暖和起来。
我们讨论了冷水澡如何改善血液循环、提升情绪、增强免疫系统,以及训练身体应对压力。
而且,它们是免费的、简单的,不需要太多时间。每天只需几秒钟,就能开始产生差异。
而且,我们不是说你需要受苦。从小开始。尝试在热水澡结束时用10秒冷水,然后逐渐增加。
没错。这不是关于坚强,而是关于建立有助于身体和心灵感觉更好的习惯。
如果觉得太难,没关系。只是了解它就是第一步。
非常感谢今天和我们一起收听《简单英语》播客。如果你学到了新知识,
或者感到受启发想尝试冷水澡,请给我们点个赞并留言。
告诉我们你的体验。如果你第一次尖叫了,别担心。我们都这样。
下次见。保持各方面的冷静。再见。
再见,大家。
(音乐)
好了,大家,是时候学习一些与主题相关的关键词汇了。第一个词是“循环”。
它指的是血液在体内的流动。例如,冷水澡通过让心脏更有效地泵血来改善血液循环。
下一个词是“内啡肽”。它指的是身体产生的天然化学物质,有助于缓解压力和疼痛,
并产生快乐感。例如,洗冷水澡后,身体释放的内啡肽会让你感到更清醒和快乐。
下一个词是“血管收缩”。它指的是血管变窄,从而减少血流。
例如,冷水会引起血管收缩,有助于减少肌肉炎症。
下一个词是“免疫系统”。它指的是身体抵抗感染和疾病的防御系统。
例如,定期洗冷水澡可能有助于增强免疫系统,让你更不容易生病。
下一个词是“压力反应”。它指的是身体在面对挑战或威胁时,在身体和心理上如何反应。
例如,洗冷水澡可以训练身体有更健康的压力反应。
下一个词是“韧性”。它指的是从困难或压力中快速恢复的能力。
例如,接触寒冷可以通过教你在压力下保持冷静来建立心理韧性。
最后一个词是“新陈代谢”。它指的是身体将食物转化为能量的化学过程。
例如,一些研究表明,冷水澡可以提高新陈代谢,有助于减脂。
