Winter Swimming tradition in Russia / Filipina-Russian Family

Diary of Filipina-Russian Family. Filipina in Russia. Last year when I was pregnant I really wanted to do this but they said that's its seriously not a good idea to try it while pregnant so I waited for this long just to try it. Winter swimming is the activity which is one of the tradition of Russia. It's a way of like baptism but it's held in winter season during the water has 0°C of temperature. Also many locations of North America, Western and Eastern Europe participate this activity. Although there's a risk of this practice there are lots of benefits that you will get from this such as: Less stress, fatigue and more vigor, better memory function, better mood and feel more energetic, active and brisk. And for those who have rheumatism fibromyalgia and asthma it was also reported that winter Swimming helps to relieves pain. Connect us in IG ; 12_maldita_1991 Facebook search ; JingJing Cuanan
