This Is What Happens When You Place An Ice Cube At This Point On Your Head

We all want to live longer, look younger, have more energy and lead a fuller life, right? How can it be done?

Of course, eat right, be active, keep your mind sharp, and don’t do high-risk activities is one way. But it turns out, an ice cube and a few moments of your time helps too. At the base of your skull on the neck there is a point known as Feng Fu.

It’s a pressure point found at the base of the skull just below the bottom ridge of the skull cap at the top of the neck. If you put ice on it regularly, it triggers rejuvenation in your body.

Illness seems to disappear and you find yourself more energetic and just plain happier.

Lie on your stomach and put an ice cube at the Feng Fu point. Leave it there for 20 minutes. You can also use a bandage to fix it in place if you’re on the go.

Doing it once in the morning on an empty stomach and then again once before bed. What does it do?

1. It improves your sleep quality
2. It improves your mood.
3. It helps regulate your gut.
4. It relieves colds.

Apart from that few research suggest 

Putting an ice pack on the back of the neck also helps with weight loss. Brown fat is a heat-generating type of fat that burns energy instead of storing it, newborns have a supply of brown fat to keep warm, but by adulthood they lose most of their stores of it. Brown fat has been located in the neck area, around blood vessels (helping to warm your blood), and "marbled" in with white fat in visceral fat tissue. In a new study, scientists found that they were able to activate the brown fat still present by cooling this area twice a day. Study patients burned more calories, and lost white fat, that's the fat that causes obesity. In all with this iced activation of the brown fat, your metabolism will increase along with your natural energy. 

So, I think it's well worth a try. I mean boxers and sport athletes always ice down their necks, not only to cool off but to re-energize, sooth muscles and stop nose bleeds... So who's to say that it can't do all the rest.

And A good idea to use 

Put the ice cube in a zip-lock freezer bag, so it melts in the bag. Then just put the bag in the freezer (on an angle so the water gathers in one corner), and keep reusing that one ice cube.
