What is it?
Cold plunging, or immersing the body in cold water (typically 50°F/10°C or colder), has gained popularity for its numerous health benefits. Some of the reported benefits include:
-
- Reduced inflammation and muscle recovery
- Improved circulation
- Boosted immune function
- Enhanced mental clarity and focus
- Increased endorphins and mood elevation
- Improved stress resilience
- Better sleep quality
- Metabolism boost
While cold plunging offers many benefits, it’s important to ease into it gradually, especially for those with cardiovascular conditions or other health concerns, and to ensure the body is properly warmed afterward. Please consult your doctor before participating.
