Ice Bucket Challenge, Ice Water Bath phenomenon Who is Booming. Make What?

Ice bath, maybe just people who like a challenge, or even people who do less work. However, the ice bath is actually trying to be a "trend" new abroad, particularly the United States and Britain. The ice bath is one called Ice Bucket Challenge or challenge washed down with a bucket of ice water, not really a shower or soak in ice water.


Ice bath?
Ice bath?
Hehe ... not bath as above ya. Ice bath or Ice Bucket Challenge is apparently driven by the ALS Association to raise money for the disease Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as motor neuron disease or Lou Gehrig's Disease. The disease is classified as a very scary disease because it affects the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that leads to difficulty in controlling muscle movement, trouble speaking, even paralyzed. And this disease has no cure, the alias can not be cured!

Back to Ice Bucket Challenge. This challenge has spread almost all over America and the UK. The world celebrities, athletes and other famous people to participate in this challenge. Starting from Jessica Alba, Robert Downey Jr., Taylor Swift to Bill Gates, Marc Zuckenberg and Jose Mourinho did not escape from this challenge. Please go to youtube and type in Ice Bucket Challenge, hundreds and possibly thousands of videos will be displayed there.

This challenge is quite simple and not time consuming. Simply by taking a bucket of ice water, and flush the cold water from the head to the whole body. All of these activities must be recorded in the form of a video and post the video on facebook, twitter, instagram or youtube and challenge your friends or anyone else to do the same. If there is no follow-up of the person you challenged within 24 hours (one that you dare not challenge), the person is required to pay $ 100 to the ALS foundation. However, if the challenged act, is entitled to appoint three others to repeat it, and so on in a chain so that more and more involved in Ice Bucket Challenge.

But whether this dangerous ice bath? Or actually beneficial for the body?

According to some sources that I get, one study published in the European Journal of Applied Physiology, explained that there bath or compress the pain with ice water which can reduce the pain disappear even pain. By dipping the sick body into ice water after exercise or exercise can reduce inflammation and speed up recovery.
