Cold exposure. 

Have you tried it? One of the most primal instincts we are all born with is the everlasting quest to seek warmth & comfort. It's built into our survival mechanism. The beauty of this is the internal physical & mental reaction to disrupting that warmth & comfort. Submerging your entire body into freezing cold ice water at 39 degrees will certainly cause a reaction in the body. This reaction could literally change your life if you are up for the challenge. 

I started cold plunging (ice baths) in 2009 as an athlete seeking optimal muscle recovery. The hardest part for me was logistics, where to find an ice bath? where to buy ice? how to regulate a proper water temperature? etc. I always found a way but I realized the logistics of getting an ice bath set up every time I wanted to do one  caused me to do them less & less. 

After buying the.coldplunge I have not missed a day of cold exposure at home in 3 weeks. This is solely due to the fact that this cold plunge is plug & play. You plug it into your wall, fill it with water & you have a home ice bath ready for you when ever you want. No ice, no draining the water every use. It's just always ready to go with nearly no maintenance at all. 

The benefits I have noticed most are the change in mood. The 530% spike in dopamine & noradrenaline have you feeling like you just did the best drugs in the world. It's weird how something that is uncomfortable & slightly stressful like cold exposure can reward you with euphoria. 

Here are just a few benefits of cold exposure:
- reduced muscle soreness
- improved circulation 
- brain function & mood booster
- immune system enhancement 
- boosted metabolism / fat loss
- reduced inflammation = longevity

I highly recommend trying a cold plunge if you want to see some drastic changes in your health & happiness.
