Far from being simply a physical health benefit, Lorenzo enters deep into the reality that his practice of cold showers and ice baths bring him into a place of prayer. Most people have heard about the various trends in self betterment that exist, but Lorenzo is adamant that this is much more important than simply "choosing to do something hard".
