Did you know that ice baths can do wonders for your mental health?
Studies show that cold water immersion significantly reduces cortisol levels, helping lower your stress responses in everyday life (Stanford Center on Longevity).
It also boosts mood by improving brain connectivity and increasing feelings of alertness and focus 🧠 (Bournemouth University).
Plus, ice baths trigger a surge in noradrenaline and endorphins, reducing anxiety and lifting your spirits naturally (Stanford Center on Longevity, Cambridge University Press & Assessment).
The result? Greater emotional resilience and better stress tolerance to face life’s challenges (Cambridge University Press & Assessment).
If you or someone you know needs support, reach out to mental health organisations such as Mind (
