On a video website, a video entitled "Mexican blogger: the day when he almost died in China" became popular.
In the video, a couple from Mexico tried winter swimming for the first time in northeast China, and the result was "horrible".
What happened?
1、 Mexican couple try winter swimming
In the video, Max and Noelia, a young couple from Mexico, decided to try swimming in Harbin in cold winter. The local uncle advised them, "You can't stay in the water for a minute."
But Max didn't admit defeat. After all, old and infirm parents can stick to winter swimming. How can young and strong people not?
And he said, "I take a cold bath every day."
On the other hand, Noelia seemed less "reckless". She said: "These people are crazy!"
However, based on the principle of "all come", she decided to challenge herself.
She said, "If you don't do it today, you may not have a chance in the future. Who knows what will happen in the future?"
Max on the side also emboldened himself: "Maybe I will suffer, but I will do it."
As for their actions, foreign netizens commented: "This is the boldest thing they have ever done! I dare not take a bath in cold water even in summer. You know how hot Mexico is!"
"I can't do such crazy things. You are too extreme!"
Chinese netizens also joked: "People at the equator actually want to go swimming in winter. Is that 'the ignorant are fearless'?"
At noon, the local temperature dropped to minus 18 degrees Celsius. Max said, "This is definitely the coldest day we have ever had."
Before going into the water, the couple also went to the local people who had experience in winter swimming to "check the truth", and got the answer: "I had heart disease and brain disease before, but I lost it after winter swimming."
"The man had rheumatism before and could not get up from bed. You can see that he can work quickly now."
"I used to be weak, but now I am strong after I persist in winter swimming."
After listening to the introduction of the aunts and uncles, Max and Noelia strengthened their determination to winter swimming.
The winter swimming place where they are located is "ice water mixture". After changing into the swimsuit, Max jumped into the water first, swam for less than a minute, and then quickly climbed onto the shore.
Later, he explained: "I suddenly felt my feet hurt terribly, so I ran out and ran very fast."
When he said this, Max still smiled brightly. Although he felt painful during the winter swimming, it seemed that it was no big deal.
Noelia's situation is much worse.
It was also less than a minute after entering the water. After being pulled ashore, Noelia ran to the tent, trembling all over, even forgetting how to breathe normally, and couldn't help crying.
"I almost fainted, almost vomited, and felt painful all over, as if I was going to leave the world." When she recovered, she said to the camera, as if she could see fear in her eyes.
The excessive cold numbed Noelia's limbs and made her feel powerless when she wanted to wear clothes to warm up. It was the local aunts who helped her put on clothes.
She thanked her and said, "I swear I owe them all my life."
After a short winter swim, the Mexican couple concluded: "It's not difficult to get into the water, it's difficult to get ashore, warm up, move, and dress. That's really difficult."
Noelia also said, "I wanted to make a beautiful video, but it turned out that black dragons were flying everywhere."
Chinese netizen "Ruiping": "You are a real tiger!"
2、 The "Way" of Winter Swimming
Winter swimming is really good for people's health. It can not only improve people's cold resistance and immunity, but also promote the nervous system, respiratory system and cardiovascular system.
However, because of the need for close contact with ultra-low temperature, if you cannot master the correct winter swimming skills, it will cause great harm to the human body.
First of all, winter swimming does not "cure all diseases", nor is it suitable for all people. For example, people with hypertension, coronary heart disease, epilepsy and other diseases, as well as people with trauma or inflammation, it is not suitable for swimming in winter.
Secondly, winter swimming should be avoided after an empty stomach, full food or drinking. Even if there is no such situation, adequate preparations should be made before entering the water, preferably to the extent that the body is hot but not sweating.
In the video, Noelia enters the water without making preparations, which is likely to damage her body, and even cause serious illness.
Finally, after winter swimming ashore, you should quickly dry your body with a dry towel, change into clean and warm clothes, and avoid that wet clothes continue to absorb heat on your body.
Noelia also made mistakes on this point.
It should also be noted that the winter swimming time should not be too long, which will lead to excessive stimulation and easily lead to the failure of the cortical system and damage to health.
If you are a novice, the first winter swimming is recommended to be accompanied by professionals in case of accidents.
