Cold showers can help reduce inflammation, relieve pain, improve circulation, lower stress levels, and reduce muscle soreness and fatigue. Hot showers, meanwhile, can improve cardiovascular health, soothe stiff joints, and improve sleep.
Adding 10 seconds of cold to your shower is an easy way to introduce a Cold Water Immersion practice to your day. It’s such a powerful tool with so many benefits. The benefits are proven and are far reaching.
Benefits from Adding in Cold Water Immersion:
#ENERGY & #FOCUS
Dopamine and endorphines are released along with epinephrine and norepinephrine which increases energy, focus and mood.
#IMMUNITY
It stimulates production of leukocytes, the white blood cells that fight bugs. It also causes the lymphatic system to contract, forcing fluid through the lymph nodes. This process provides detox benefits, as well as added immunity support.
#RESILIENCE & CALM
Adapting to cold water exposure, training the body to endure what the mind would usually avoid, involves the prefrontal cortex, used for planning and suppressing impulsivity. Meaning you are better able to cope under pressure, stay calm and deal with stressors in life.
So little to do with so many benefits.
