What is a Cold Plunge?
What is a Cold Plunge?
A cold plunge, known as cold exposure therapy, involves immersing the body in ice-cold water for a short period, typically two to three minutes. The water temperature is usually significantly lower than the body's normal temperature, often around 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10°C).
Shock of Cold
The Shock of Cold
The primary goal of cold plunge therapy is to expose the body to the shock of cold temperatures, eliciting a range of physiological responses including fight or flight reactions. Few human activities provide this thermal shock, which leads to the release or surge of endorphins, dopamine, and serotonin.
Mental Clarity, Focus and Sleep Patterns
The shock of cold water stimulates the brain, leading to increased mental clarity and focus. This can help improve cognitive function and productivity.
Cold plunges can help regulate the body's natural sleep-wake cycle. The calming effect post-plunge often leads to improved sleep quality.
