I noticed this last year that I was more tolerant of cold and hot days. Even when I travel from one extream to another in the same day. I felt this was an effect of SR, but couldn't prove it. Maybe it was just because I was more relaxed, that I didn't let either heat or cold bother me.
I just completed a trip to Dallas, TX. A 4 hour plane ride both ways. I like to read on long trips, so I dragged out one of Dr. Norman Walker's books, Vibrant Health. This book was written in 1972 and I have had it for 35 years. One of the chapters is titled, Your Hypothalamus. Your electric Life Force. Does Heat and Cold Bother You? Page 84:
" Nearly every phenomenon in the operations of the Endocrine Glands involves the Hypothalamus. The eyes, the auditory system, metabolism, blood pressure ( both high and low ), water excretion, body-water balance, temperature regulation, appetite and hunger, sleep-walking phenomenon, in fact every mental, physical and spiritual function and activity is in some way directly or indirectly influenced or controlled by the functions of the Hypothalamus."
Page 86:
" The Hypothalamus activates the necessary nerve mechanisum to dissipate excessive heat by stimulating the respiatory and the heart pressure apparatus and the spinal cord. When the blood temperature has been raised to the necessary degree perspiration should begin, then the body temperature would automatically become normal and you are comfortable."
" In cold conditions the Hypothalamus influences the slowing down of heat evaporation from the system resulting in the body conserving heat."
So I have my proof. SR helps the Hypothalamus work better resulting in me being able to handle heat and cold temps.
Sorry Walt and Jan if this information is in RYH and I have missed it.
