February 01, 2024 7. The Practice of Cold Water Immersion
In this episode, Claudia discusses the practice, benefits and science behind cold water immersion.
Cold water immersion is the practice of exposing oneself to cold water for set increments of time, in a monitored environment, for therapeutic effects. Considering the cold is a natural stressor, when exposed to the cold, the body's sympathetic nervous system kicks in, resulting in a "fight or flight" reaction. When looking at the physiological changes within the body during the practice of cold water immersion, it is clear to see how this practice uses the body's natural responses to increase well-being. A consistent act of cold water immersion yields many benefits.
