The following days after my neural reset

The Neural Reset was 72 hours, and it worked. And now the following 3 days I have been working on implementing into my everyday life for a less extreme but still effective way to keep my nervous system healthy and also keep my brain fresh. Of course this also affects my whole body.

Differences I have noticed after the neural reset is:
– better sleep
– less stress and I handle difficult things more calmly
– easier to keep my thoughts from wandering into negative and toxic thinking
– I feel more positive
– my body feels fresh

Day 1 after:

Morning I did a cold exposure with submerging my face into cold water for 15 seconds.
Had only water to drink, didn’t eat anything.
I ate a big lunch I ate both beef and chicken style thai food with rise.
In the evening I had rasberries with cream (organic) and a coca cola.
Before bed I did a cold exposure again with the submerging my face in cold water for 15 seconds.

Day 2 after

Again submerging my face in cold water for 15 seconds.
For breakfast I had some Innocent antioxidant smoothie.
For lunch/dinner (as I eat only one real meal a day) I made chicken in the owen seasoned with 2 things, first my salt-pepper-cajun mix with lemon olive oil and during it was in the owen I glazed it with my butter-jalopeno mix. Delicious! And I drank coca cola with it.
In the evening I drank some water and sumberged my face in cold water for 15 seconds.

Day 3 after

Like the two other days, again started my day with submerging my face in cold water for 15 seconds.
Then I again had some Innocent antioxidant smoothie for breakfast.
Later I had a pizza with a coca cola for dinner.
And then again the same evening routine, drinking water and my face submerged in cold water for 15 seconds.

My take on the three first days after the neural reset.

The cold exposure relieves stress, and after doing it first thing after I wake up, it feels like I’m a new man every morning. I will keep this morning routine and the same in the evening as something I do everyday and then 1 or 2 times a week I will do the cold shower for 1 minute. With this combination I believe I have found a long term way of doing cold exposure for my nervous system without taking it to extreme measures.

Eating, I have been eating relatively healthy and yes with some coca cola, but my ideology here is the same as with the cold exposure, not to take to the over the limit into extreme, but keep a balance of both physically healthy food for my body as well as mentally happy things of enjoyment in my diet. And with this kind of ideology I believe I will maintain a healthy way of eating while at the same time enjoying what I’m eating.

With the trainin, I will continue training as I have before, so this part did not really change. I don’t train everyday, but I try to maintain a certain routine, some heavy strength training, some agility and speed training. But I will mix it up, so that it doesn’t get to booring if doing the same thing all the time.

The biggest change for me if I compare my life before and after the neural reset is the cold exposure, bcause my eating and training have been relatively healthy and good for most of my life. My diet just got some small changes. But the cold exposure seems to really work, both as a fast stress relief and also as supporting long term a healthy nervous system. And at the end a comparison of cold shower of 1 minute vs submerging my face in the cold for 15 seconds.

1. BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor)
A protein that acts like “fertilizer for neurons”, promoting:
Synapse strength (learning/memory).
Neuroplasticity (rewiring of brain circuits).
Neuron survival (protects against degeneration).
