There’s no surprise that cold plunges have immense benefits. Here’s an Ice Bath Podcast I did recently.
Starting your day with a cold plunge may sound uncomfortable, but it has many benefits.
From weight loss to clearer thoughts, cold plunges can positively impact your well-being. If you’re new to this, you don’t have to start with a long duration, 20 seconds will do. You can also try a warm-cold shower or use an immersion tub.
You do not need a dedicated tub to start: a bathtub, a bag of ice and a water thermometer are enough for the first few weeks. When you want something permanent, compare the options in the cold tub review and DIY vs Edge Theory Labs vs The Plunge.
It’s also a great way to relax your muscles before bed.
To help overcome the initial discomfort, try deep breathing or the box breathing method (inhale for 4-5 secs, hold for 4-5 secs, exhale for 4-5 secs, hold for 4-5 secs, repeat 8 rounds). The key is to be present in everything you do; cold plunges can help with that.
For what the research does and does not show, see cold vs heat: reading the studies like a skeptic.
