Cold water therapy, or polar plunges, may have several health benefits, including:
*Improved recovery: Cold water can reduce inflammation and soreness after exercise.

*Boosted metabolism: Cold exposure can increase your metabolic rate, which can help with weight loss and energy expenditure.
*Improved mood: Cold plunges may help improve mood and stress resilience.
*Reduced inflammation: Cold water constricts blood vessels, which can help with swelling.
*Improved focus: The jolt of cold may help snap your brain into focus.
*Better sleep: Some say that cold plunges can help you sleep better, but research is limited.
*Activated brown fat: Cold plunges can activate brown fat, which burns calories to generate heat.
*Stimulated diving reflex: Putting your face in the water stimulates the diving reflex, which is a parasympathetic response that can boost happy hormones and reduce inflammation.
