Once reserved only for athletes, ice baths have now become a popular healthy lifestyle trend. In addition to helping muscle recovery, they provide numerous benefits for both physical and mental well-being, writes The Economic Times.
Immersing yourself in ice-cold water triggers the release of endorphins, which naturally boost your mood. The cold stimulates the nervous system, making you feel refreshed and energized within minutes.
Studies show that regular ice baths can stimulate the production of white blood cells. This strengthens the immune system and reduces the risk of seasonal colds and flu.
Cold water reduces inflammation, tightens pores, and helps maintain the skin’s natural oil balance. As a result, the skin looks renewed, and the hair becomes stronger and shinier.
Ending the day with an ice bath lowers body temperature and speeds up relaxation. This sends a signal to the body that it’s time to rest, often resulting in deeper and more peaceful sleep.
