‘I freeze my a** off for three minutes’: Caprice, 48, reveals she undergoes DAILY cryotherapy in a bid to maintain her youthful looks
She might be nearing 50, but Caprice Bourret is looking as cool and fresh-faced as ever.
Now the model has shared the secret to those youthful looks – she apparently stands in a ‘big freezer’ for three minutes a day.
The treatment – called cryotherapy – is said to reduce inflammation and psychological stress and increase energy.
The mother-of-two told Closer magazine: ‘I go for a daily freeze. It’s literally a room with a big freezer, which you stand in for three minutes and freeze your a** off.
‘It’s a whole body shock, but it can heal your muscles, invigorate your skin and boost your immune system.’
Caprice, 48, who took part in this year’s Dancing On Ice on ITV, first tried cryotherapy to heal shin splints before the competition.
Posting about stepping into a ‘-100 degrees’ ice chamber on Instagram, she wrote: ‘At first I thought this is mad.
‘But I am desperate to get rid of these shin splints. I walked in and freaked out… couldn’t breathe very well and of course was shocked by the temperature.
‘But then I calmed myself down and stayed for the duration. When I got out my body tingled everywhere but wow I felt amazing.’
Caprice said it helped her shin splints and she became ‘addicted’ to the treatment.
Dr Mohammed Enayat, co-founder of LMS Wellness health centre, said: ‘Exposing your body to extreme cold in a controlled manner has a vast number of physiological benefits.’
Meanwhile, Caprice has been left worried after her best friend in Los Angeles has ‘taken ill’ with coronavirus.
Caprice is now taking extra precautions to ensure she does not contract the virus following a ‘worrying phone call’ with her friend overseas, who is feeling ‘the worst he has ever felt in his life
On Sunday a source close to the star told MailOnline: ‘Caprice received a call from her best friend in LA, and he has been taken ill with coronavirus.
‘It was a really worrying phone call and he said it was the worst he has ever felt in his life! After 11 days of being really poorly he is slowly feeling better’
They continued: ‘He is only 50 and in good health. He told Caprice she must try and avoid getting the virus at all costs! It has hit home and not just the elderly and vulnerable are affected.’
Therefore the star is only leaving her house for essential activity, such as to do food shopping and nature meditation.
They said: ‘Caprice has been self isolating as a precaution apart from meditating in her garden next door to her house and grocery shopping.
‘She has been doing a daily exercise programme with her kids followed by daily home tutoring classes and deep cleaning her house’.
