<p>What we're aiming for here is <b>your current "uncomfortably cold, yet safe" temperature</b>. If you were to try my current "uncomfortably cold" temperature (as i have been practicing cold exposure daily for more than 8 months), your heart would probably stop immediately, so stay within the safezone, do not force yourself.</p>
<p>How long ? <b>At the minimum 11 minutes per week</b> is what you need to be able to have positive results. </p>
<p>If you want to see more benefits, try to make it even more. My daily shower is approximately 10 minutes long, and now, i take it ice cold right from the beginning, the whole time. For me this amounts to a little more than 60 minutes of cold exposure per week, where for me the benefits are undeniable (for example remaining in contact with my entire family without falling sick for 2 whole weeks, remaining OK the whole time and after).</p>

<p>As the goal is to gradually work up your cold tolerance, if you want to do it like i did, put the shower temperature at the "slightly cold" temperature, and every day, <b>very slightly turn it down, to a slightly lower temperature, without ever turning the temperature up again.</b> The temperature either stays the same (at that slightly cold temperature) or goes down, but it must never go back up again.</p>
<p>You'll probably be suprised to see after a while, that the heat you usually sought when entering the shower no longer needs to come from the water, <b>the heat comes from your own Body.</b> That;s when you know the brown fat is being activated. <b>This is a clear reminder, that what can be achieved from outside, can also be achieved from within.</b></p>
