Our coolest service yet - The Cold Plunge
from pro athletes to bio hackers
The cold has many benefits. You’ve probably heard of Wim Hof - The Iceman. One of the biggest proponents of cold exposure, he has achieved remarkable feats such as running half marathons barefoot in the snow, swimming under ice, and even climbed Mount Kilimanjaro wearing only shoes and shorts.
Now we don’t need to take it as far as he does, but cold exposure has been shown to have many great benefits for us normal folks.
One of the biggest, and one that everyone can benefit from, is boosting our immune systems. This has always been very important to our health and well-being, especially in these COVID times. Our immune systems develop and strengthen from being put under stress. Too much is damaging of course, but just the right amount can helps our bodies adapt and improve.
Cold exposure has also been used by top athletes for many years. Most of us have seen the football player recovering in an bathtub full of ice after a hard practice or game, and if these players and coaches with million dollar contracts are utilizing this therapy, you know there’s something to it. In these cases, a big aspect is increasing blood flow. During cold exposure, the blood vessels in the exposed area constrict, which can be very helpful in reducing inflammation and swelling. After which, during the warming phase, fresh blood will return to the area and bring with it nutrients and oxygen to aid in recovery.
