General Health Benefits of Using Ice Baths

Ice baths are beneficial for both the body and the mind. One of the most well-known benefits of ice baths is that they help to train your brain to have a higher tolerance to stressors, improving your ability to better deal with stressful situations in all aspects of your life. Other ice bath health benefits include:

  • Boosting your mood (this is because ice baths Increase the level of neurotransmitters like norepinephrine and serotonin in your body)
  • Can assist with anxiety and depression as ice baths have been shown to decrease the production of inflammatory cytokines which are linked to anxiety and depression
  • Reduction in inflammation
  • Relief for sore muscles and aiding post-exercise recovery
  • Boosting your immune system

The benefits of saunas are quite similar to ice bath benefits however how your body responds to both temperature extremes and ultimately achieves these benefits is different (cold therapy activates cold shock proteins and heat therapy activates heat shock proteins). This is why many choose to combine the two as it broadens the benefits whilst also amplifying them.
