Dieting and wellbeing expert Dr Michael Mosley has shared an idea which definitely didn’t help him get to sleep - but has revealed a ‘short sharp shock’ treatment which might stop you getting ill with colds. Dr Mosley was appearing on BBC Radio Wales to talk about his new book Just One Thing which is coming out in paperback.
The idea of the book is putting together the small changes you can make to your lifestyle which can drastically improve your health and potentially aid weight loss. However presenter Behnaz Akhgar asked him if there were any ideas which people had suggested which didn’t make the cut - generally Dr Mosley tests out all the ideas on himself.
And there was another similar suggestion - taking cold showers - which Dr Mosley suggested was of great benefit - and he revealed the unusual way he manages to psyche himself up to do it. Akhgar said: “You seem to present lots of positive ideas, lots of simple ideas within the podcast, within the book that we could be doing, I was just wondering if you’ve been looking at some other ideas that have been sent to you, you’ve tested it, and you’ve decided ‘actually, no’ and you’ve rejected it.”
