Cold Plunge
The Science Behind the Cold
When we enter the cold plunge, our body begins to cool itself dramatically, causing a decrease in our core body temperature. This causes a constriction in our blood flow throughout the body. We are forced to breathe deeply to adapt to the stress of the temperature change. When we exit the cold plunge, our body must then return to its normal temperature, causing an increase in blood and oxygen flow throughout the body.
It is this process that may lead to the benefits below.
