🕑 Added 2024-04-04 02:00:15 +0000 UTC Brrr! What To Know About Cold Plunges 🥶 A cold plunge or cold-water immersion involves partially or totally submerging yourself in cold water for a few minutes at a time. It can be as simple as sitting in a bathtub filled with cold water and ice cubes or jumping into a cold lake or the ocean. The normal temperature range for most cold water plunges is between 55 and 69 degrees Fahrenheit! There are plenty of reasons to add cold water immersion to your daily routine, but a few benefits stand out: 1. It soothes sore muscles — Research indicates that icy water may have a positive effect on recovery after exercise by reducing inflammation and soreness. It also may help build resiliency, restore balance to the nervous system and improve cognitive function and mood. This is great for anyone who hikes like me!! 🥾🏔️ 2. It supports you immune system — The exposure to cold water can trigger your lymphatic system, eliminating waste and toxins within the body! Lymphatic vessels, which carry infection-fighting white cells, will constrict when in contact with cold water, causing the lymphatic system to pump. This, in turn, triggers your immune system, boosting your white cell count and improving your immune response 🫶🏻 3. It builds resilience — Voluntarily dipping your body into freezing water challenges you both physically and mentally, pushing your body past its comfort zone! It takes fortitude to withstand cold temperatures, even for a short time, which is why ice baths build up your resiliency. Building up a routine of cold plunging can even help you develop better self-control and gain more energy!!
