Improve both your mental and physical health

As cold water exposure gains incredible amounts of popularity in recent years, more and more people are seeking ways to incorporate it into their daily routines, in order to experience the benefits it has to offer. Although the practice of submerging your body in freezing temperatures may not sound appealing, the benefits may surprise you. In this blog we’ll uncover how using a Chill Tub can provide you with numerous mental and physical health benefits.

Reducing muscle soreness

One of the most significant benefits of using a Chill Tub is that it can reduce inflammation in the body. Ice baths lower the body’s temperature, which stops inflammation responses that come with injuries and other medical conditions. The cold temperatures can reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation in sore muscles or joints.

Improving recovery time

By reducing muscle soreness, the Chill Tub may also help athletes recover faster and be ready for their next workout or competition. Muscle soreness and fatigue are common after intense workouts, and an ice bath can help speed up the recovery process. The cold temperature of the ice tub helps to reduce the breakdown of muscle fibres and can help prevent muscle soreness and stiffness.

Increase metabolism

Cold water exposure can increase metabolism as it can stimulate the production of a protein called PGC-1 alpha, which can increase metabolism at a cellular level. This means In muscle tissue, the increased energy released from the production of PGC-1alpha can improve aerobic capacity and endurance, as well as increase resistance to fatigue which can both assist in weight loss.

Immune Boost

There is widespread anecdotal evidence that suggests that cold water immersion can boost the immune system. Many people report feeling healthier and less prone to illness after regularly taking ice tubs. While the immune system is complex and difficult to study, it is believed that the cold can help to adapt and harden the body to disease and infection. Despite the lack of robust scientific studies on this topic, many people believe in the immune-boosting benefits of cold water immersion.

Fights Depression & Anxiety

The Chill Tub can also be used to treat anxiety and depression. When your body is submerged in cold water, it causes a reaction that releases dopamine and endorphins, which are hormones that can boost mood and ease feelings of anxiety and depression.

Despite the discomfort and initial shock of using a Chill Tub, the benefits are numerous. From improving your metabolism immune system and recovery time, to helping to fight anxiety and depression, a Chill Tub can be a powerful tool for your body and mind.
