Cold water therapy is all the rage at the moment, but does it work? Well yes it absolutely does. Evidence shows that cold water therapy can help you to lose weight, burn fat, improve your immune system, reduce autoimmune conditions, help with pain and inflammation, can help to put you into ketosis, and even help to regulate your hormones.

The optimum temperature is around 10-15 degrees celsius (50-60 fahrenheiht), and the optimum time to spend in the water is around 2-3 minutes, but you can spend longer if you can tolerate it.

Cold water helps to activate brown fat (brown adipose tissue) which can burn calories to produce heat and therefore help to lose weight by burning our fat stores. Cold water therapy also increases the production of a hormone called Adiponectin which helps us to burn fat and stay lean.

Cold water therapy can also help to boost our immune system and reduce inflammation.
