Winter is the ideal season to combine heat and cold. How nice it is to cozy up with a cup of hot chocolate after tobogganing with the kids, and how relaxing a soak in the Scandinavian baths after a day on the ski slopes! The revitalizing effects of these cold-weather activities are not the result of mere chance.
We already know that the alternation of heat and cold soothes the muscles as well as the soul, flushes toxins from the body and the thoughts, and helps strengthen the immune system. And best of all, any activity which combines hot and cold stimulates the release of endorphins, those wonderful, euphoric hormones. Exercise alone may release up to five times the regular amount of endorphins in the brain; imagine how that level could be boosted with the inclusion of Scandinavian baths and massage! It’s no surprise that people emerge from the experience feeling re-energized and awash in the sensation of serene delight. Try it yourself this winter; experience the benefits of thermotherapy with the ski & spa package available at Scandinave Spa Mont-Tremblant.
We wish you a blissful winter!
