10 months agoHere’s why you should take ice baths, especially during the cold seasons 🙏 🧊 Cold water exposure stimulates white blood cell production, helping you fight infections. 🧊 It increases blood flow, helping your hands and feet to stay warm. 🧊 Regular ice bath sessions build tolerance to cold temperatures. 🧊 A single session can boost your mood and reduce stress by releasing endorphins and lowering cortisol levels, helping you tackle the "winter blues". How do you approach ice bathing during the colder months? #JoinTheCold #coldtherapy #icebathing

10 months agoThis is how you use your breath to your advantage 🌬️  The initial cold shock of cold water activates your “fight or flight” response. 👉 Counter it with slow, intentional breaths 👉 Focus on prolonging each breath, especially the exhale Longer exhales means a stronger calming response, aim for a 4-second inhale followed by a 6-second exhale. If you practice this breathing technique regularly, especially outside the ice bath, you’ll notice that your cold exposure sessions will improve 🙏 Do you combine breathing exercises with cold exposure?
