COLD BENEFITS

Lymphatic System: our lymph system is our extracellular highway carrying away cell debris and helping to flush microbes out of this interstitial fluid associated with immune function.

Blood Circulation: our blood carries nutrients and oxygen to our vital organs and is a channel of elimination. Cold therapy increases blood flow, thereby delivering more bioavailable nutrients and oxygen throughout the body.

Muscle Inflammation: Muscle soreness and post workout acute muscle inflammation is greatly improved when incorporating cold plunging; cold helps to reduce swelling, cramping, and arthritis. Cold numbs nerve endings and can provide immediate pain relief and is a tool used by top athletes.

Brain Boost: cold plunging increases norepinephrine and dopamine and creates an undeniable happy high. If you’re looking for healthy rituals to boost your mood and support mental health, cold plunging is a very effective tool to make your brain feel instantly better & joyful.

Immune System: until recently, we didn’t know that we could take action to benefit the innate immune system but new studies show that cold trained individuals experience less endotoxemia associated flu like symptoms and faster normalization of cortisol levels and fever.
