Cold Water Therapy
Cold Water Therapy
How it works?
Cold water therapy (cold plunge), typically around 50-59°F, triggers the body’s natural healing mechanisms. As the body warms back up, blood flow increases, enhancing circulation and oxygen delivery to tissues. Many use cold exposure as a training tool for mindset and stress.
Reduced Muscle Inflammation
Cold water therapy is effective in reducing muscle inflammation and soreness by constricting blood vessels and reducing blood flow to inflamed areas.
Boosted Immune Response
Immersion in cold water can stimulate the lymphatic system, which helps the body to fight off infections.
Reduced Stress
Cold water immersion stimulates the production of stress-reducing hormones in the body.
Enhanced Recovery for Athletes
Cold water immersion speeds up recovery by reducing muscle inflammation and soreness, making it ideal for athletes post-competition or intense training.
Enhanced Mental Focus
Regular exposure to cold water has been shown to increase mental focus and fortitude.
Increased Metabolic Rate
Cold plunge can boost the metabolic rate because the body must work harder to maintain its core temperature in cold conditions.
Elevated Mood
Cold water exposure can influence the balance of hormones, including the reduction of cortisol and the increase of dopamine and serotonin (associated with happiness and well-being).
Improved Skin Health
Regular cold water therapy can improve skin health by tightening pores and reducing swelling and puffiness, which ultimately enhances skin tone and elasticity.
