Some people should avoid swimming in an ice hole on Epiphany.
First of all, we are talking about those who suffer from cardiovascular diseases.
There is some justification for this recommendation.
The fact is that when diving, the human body experiences serious stress, which can lead to serious complications, such as a disruption in heart rhythm, a heart attack, or a hypertensive crisis, TASS writes, citing doctors.
In addition, those who suffer from respiratory diseases will have to refrain from swimming on such a holiday.
People who are suffering from chronic non-infectious diseases in the acute stage should also not go into the ice hole.
That's not all.
Doctors also noted that swimming is prohibited for children under seven years of age.
It is important to remember that a child should be prepared for such a procedure a year in advance so that it does not negatively affect his well-being.
The fact is that if an unprepared person undergoes such a procedure, not only panic attacks are possible, but respiratory arrest may also occur.
