Just in case if you missed the segment, I typed this shortly after it aired.
First, to clear up any confusion--the Sam is ABC News correspondent Sam Champion (should have known
).
The main takeaway, they went to a place called FloHo Holistics located in midtown Manhattan.
The place looks like a back facility you would normally find inside an RV or very tiny doctor's office.
After she got into scuba type gear (of which was seen in the promo), they both went in feet first
.
They both held hands as Dr. Jen said, "This feels like child's play."
In turns out that cold therapy goes back to 3,500 B.C. and is supposed to ease sore muscles, make you sleep better, help prevent inflammation, and give some inner peace of mind--so says the Cleveland Classic.
After a few minutes, it was a Zen-like atmosphere. Take that last statement as you will
.
The ice cube bag that was used is double the size that we would normally purchase by the checkout lines at many middle and large sized grocery stores.
However, one should not try this method (even if you even have a remote thought resorting to cold baths and/or showers) for three reasons, this according to the American Heart Association:
1. It instantly would lead to hypothermia
2. Cardiovascular shock
3. And the biggest health factor of all--drowning
Well, at least we know one more thing that Dr. Jen took one for the team, as the old sports adage says.
At the start of the special episode, she had a spoonful of seaweed--albeit in a gel form. Most people when they think of seaweed it appears like cabbage. After trying a taste, she simply mentioned that "it felt like eating something from the bottom of the ocean."
The show also had some major rules on how to handle pets in hot summer conditions, but we already know most of the general rules.
