We supported „Ice Bears“

Hardening is not only modern, but there are scientific studies that say it is also beneficial to health. Its beneficial effects consist in exposing the body to low temperatures for a short period, to increase the ability to withstand the cold and strengthen immunity. The oldest Slovak organisation in Slovakia, which brings together hardy swimmers and long-distance swimmers, is the Ice Bears Bratislava, which has long been one of the most active promoters of this lifestyle. Throughout the year they organize several events not only in Slovakia, spread awareness and create opportunities for discussions for those interested who want to start with hardening. According to Bears representatives, hardening can help strengthen immunity, improve blood circulation, increase endurance, and most importantly improve mood. As part of the education at the meetings, they remind people that if someone wants to get started with hardening, they can start slowly and gradually increase the intensity. GD-TEAM promotes a healthy lifestyle and that is why they also decided to support a club presenting hardening as a lifestyle.
