We have often listen to the term cold plunge from various experts, and Bollywood celebrities in which a person has to submerge their body for at least two minutes at a time in a bathtub filled with cold water (between 3 and 4 degrees Celsius), which is essentially a kind of treatment for your mind and body. This two-minute plunge needs to be done three times. Performing a complete immersion helps you develop lung power.
This cold plunge is like a therapy that gives you many health benefits. Some of them are listed below:
- Makes you feel more energetic
To get their day started and out of the groggy state, most adults require an espresso or a cup of warm chai, but doing a cold splash could be a healthier substitute. According to studies, the brain is jolted by the cold water, which releases norepinephrine, a hormone that boosts our concentration and energy.
- Reduces muscular soreness
Since it aids in the healing of their muscles, cold plunges have long been employed as a kind of rehabilitation for athletes. Your blood vessels constrict as you submerge your body in cold water, drawing blood closer to your organs. As you come to, your blood vessels expand, allowing better blood flow.
- Lower depression
Norepinephrine synthesis boosts energy levels and, based on some new findings, a shortage of such an enzyme can cause despair. Therefore, having a chilly plunge might lessen depression symptoms and improve your attitude overall.
- Anti-inflammatory
In sports, swelling of the legs and foot is frequent. Because of the change in temperature, taking a cold shower can help people recover more quickly and return to their regular schedule by reducing inflammation.
Try taking a cold plunge if you’re a fitness enthusiast and don’t want bodily discomfort to interfere with your workouts.
