Chef Assaf Granit's Extreme Ice Routine to Kickstart the Morning

Chef Assaf Granit, one of the most prominent and busiest figures in the Israeli and international culinary world, is accustomed to a tight schedule and exceptionally busy days. However, recent footage uploaded to social media revealed the original and freezing way he chooses to wake up and start his workday.

In the revealed image, Granit is seen at 08:15 in the morning submerging his face into a glass bowl filled with water and ice cubes. Granit's extreme routine is part of a global bio-hacking trend designed to boost alertness and mental focus.

So if you also want to build a powerful morning routine that will charge you with energy for a busy workday, here are 5 golden tips:

1. Ice Facial for Wake-Up

Submerging the face in ice water or taking a short cold shower stimulates blood circulation, reduces swelling, and provides immediate focus and alertness.

2. Exposure to Natural Sunlight

Going out into the sunlight in the first 20 minutes of the morning flushes out the sleep hormone (melatonin) and sets the body's biological clock.

3. Delaying Screens and Smartphones

Avoid browsing messages, emails, and social media for the first 30 minutes. This prevents early stress and maintains mental peace.

4. A Large Glass of Water Before Coffee

Before rushing for your caffeine hit, drink a full glass of water immediately upon waking. This restores fluids lost by the body at night and stimulates the digestive system.

5. Light Movement and Stretching

Dedicate 5-10 minutes to stretching, yoga, or a short walk. Early movement releases endorphins and prepares the muscles and joints for the workday.

As you may recall, the name of the "Games of the Chef" judge recently made headlines in connection with behind-the-scenes drama of the reality show as well. In an interview given to Roni Kuban's program on Kan 11, businessman Assaf Rappaport addressed the rumors surrounding the show and put an end to them: "I did not decide to fire Moshik Roth and bring in Jonathan Roshfeld, my involvement in Games of the Chef is altogether amusing because I don't understand anything about it, people click more if it's written that Assaf Rappaport fired Moshik Roth."
