Cold water immersion has shown to boost the body’s metabolic response. Not only does cold water force the body to work harder to keep us warm, meaning burning more calories in the process and in the long run as it boosts your metabolism. It also has an unexpected impact on the type of fat we burn and produce.

According to a 2009 study, researchers found that cold water immersion can eliminate white fat, which is the body fat that piles up around the waistlines and thighs when we consume too many calories.

Cardiovascular circulation is rarely something that crosses our minds, but it happens to be one of the most critical components of our overall health and well-being. With poor cardiovascular circulation, not only is the blood flow compromised, the heart becomes stressed. Ultimately this leads to fatigue, headaches, high blood pressure, muscular cramping or even heart attack or stroke. With improved circulation you can improve your heart’s health and enhance mental performance, boost your immune system giving you more strength and energy.

Cold water immersion also stimulates blood flow. When the body is immersed in cold water, the blood rushes to your vital organs. Your heart then is forced to pump more efficiently, pushing blood through all your vessels, supplying every part of your body with oxygen and nutrients.

Doing this on a routine basis will help promote healthy blood circulation and ultimately a healthier body.

The lymphatic system is a network of vessels that run throughout the body helping to take away waste, bacteria and microbes from your cells. Essentially cleansing your body. Unlike your blood, which is constantly moved through your body by the heart your lymph fluid does not have a central pump. Instead your lymphatic system relies on muscle contraction to pump the lymph fluid through the vessels.

So if you don’t exercise your lymphatic system become slow and inefficient.
The fluid stagnates and toxins build up, manifesting in colds, joint pain, infection and even disease.

Cold water immersion causes your lymph vessels to contract, forcing your lymphatic system to pump lymph fluids throughout your body flushing the waste out. This then triggers the immune system’s white blood cells to attack and destroy any unwanted substances in the fluid. The cold water affects the lymphatic system which in turn affects the immune system, which ultimately keeps you feeling happy and healthy.
