If you find yourself constantly suffering from the flu or any colds, then that just means one thing: you immune system is weak and needs a serious boosting.

Everyone has had a weakened immune system at some point of their life, but there are some rare people who seems to suffer from a low immune system constantly.

A famous Russian doctor by the name of Sergey Bubnovkiy has the right remedy to boost your immune system by using a very simple trick: soaking your feet in ice-cold water for time span of  merely 10-15 seconds a day.

All you need to do is fill a basin you have at home with cold water, and add as much ice as you can gather from your freezer. The more ice you add in the basin, the better.

Your next step should be clear – just place your feet in the basin and keep them there for a total of 10 to 15 seconds.

For best results, you should do this every night before going to bed.

But if you feel your immune system is super weak, you can repeat this every four hours.

The University of Virginia had conducted a recent study in which they discovered that icy water can stimulate the production of norepinephrine.

This is a natural hormone, and it plays a very important role in strengthening the immune system.

And That’s Not All

There are other health benefits this water offers, such as:

  • Eases sore muscles – soaking your feet in a basin full of icy water reduces any pain in your muscles.
  • Can fight depression – this is due to the cold receptors affecting your skin, which means submerging your feet in icy water will improve your mood and lower any depression symptoms.
  • Helps improve skin health – this ice water therapy can prevent blood clotting, tighten the cuticles and pores and even energize the skin.
  • Shinier Hair – icy water can close the hair follicles and thus give your hair more smoothness and shininess.

There you have it. In order to enjoy the multiple benefits, you should definitely make this an everyday routine.
