@mer @coolboymew few people know this, but the benefit of living in colder climates is that your body heals faster. this is why having cold showers or even ice baths is so beneficial. inflammation and fungal/viral infection as well as parasites thrive in warmer than normal body temperatures. heat also allows cancer to thrive. heat is the enemy. you also think far more clearly in lower temperatures. heat makes you dumb. It is beneficial to lower your core body temperature as low as possible. it also boosts metabolism and forces your body to burn energy to heat itself. drinking ice water has a massive metabolism gain.
