Beyond being a popular health trend among athletes and celebrities, cold plunging enthusiasts claim the practice has numerous benefits for your body and mind. From boosting mood to enhancing immune function, this age-old practice is re-emerging as a modern wellness ritual.
Cold plunging involves immersing your body in water temperatures of 59 degrees or below, triggering a cascade of physiological responses. Here are some key benefits backed by science:
Boosts Mood & Resilience: Many enthusiasts report heightened mood and increased resilience.
Enhances Post-Workout Recovery: May reduce muscle soreness, particularly after intense physical activities.
Promotes Brown Fat Activity: Unlike white fat, brown adipose tissue (BAT) burns calories and may protect your heart.
Supports Immune Function: Cold exposure could lead to fewer sick days, as seen in some studies.
