A Primal lifestyle is all about giving your body the inputs it needs to thrive. I intend to stay vibrant, strong, and active well into old age, and I want the same for all of my readers as well.  Appropriate hormetic stress is one of those crucial inputs. Hormetic stressors are things like exercise, sun exposure, intermittent fasting, and mild caloric exposure. They tell the body, "Hey, life is full of challenges. Better get as strong and nimble as possible so we can face whatever the outside world throws at us!"  Hot and cold therapy are also hormetic stressors that have become an indispensable part of my routine. They both offer an impressive array of benefits, including improved cardiovascular function and insulin sensitivity, but I appreciate them mostly for the mental boost I get. With cold exposure in particular, I feel a noticeable increase in focus and acuity after a plunge. Nothing beats cold water immersion for the rush you get from making yourself do something that's difficult in the moment but that feels so good afterward. I've recently stepped up my cold water immersion game with the addition of a Plunge (cold tub) from the company of the same name. This technology allows me to regulate the water temperature to my exact specifications. I like a little cooler in the morning and warmer (but still plenty cold) in the evening. Because it's at my house, there's no excuse for not getting it done.  I know a cold plunge tub isn't something everyone is likely to splurge on for themselves, but now you don't have to. Plunge generously donated a Plunge tub (a $4,990.00 value!) for me to give away to one member of our community to wrap up our MDA 16th birthday celebration! I'm throwing in a few of my books and a $100 gift card for PrimalKitchen.com to sweeten the deal even more.  Here are the details. The Sweepstakes Mark's Daily Apple is giving away one standard Plunge, four of Mark's books (The Keto Reset Diet, The Keto Reset Diet Cookbook, Two Meals A Day, and Two Meals A Day Cookbook), and one $100 PK gift card to ONE lucky winner. Total value of this prize package is $5,203.98.  To enter for a chance to win, complete the entry form below, including your full name, email address, and opt-in. Limit one (1) entry per person per household. You will automatically be subscribed to Mark's Daily Apple and Plunge newsletter but you can opt out at any time. ???? NO PURCHASE TO ENTER TO WIN. A PURCHASE WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. All entries must be received between October 28th, 2022 and November 8th, 2022 by 11:59pm PT to be eligible.
