I had been looking into cold plunging for a while. The benefits were everything I was looking for. I was initially interested as I have osteoarthritis in my hips. I’ve done everything right, unfortunately OA can affect anyone. If there is a history of it in your family, your chance of developing it is higher. I don’t like to “medicate” if I have a flare up so I am always working on keeping inflammation down. I eat a very healthy, anti-inflammatory diet, so I thought cold plunging would be a great addition to my lifestyle as it’s great for inflammation. Additionally, given how active I am, I’m always open to natural ways to boost recovery. Well, this week was a perfect time to start. With turning 50, of course I want to age the best I can. Thank you thecoldprotocol for this amazing cold plunge. All I can say is, I wish I had started sooner!!!! I’m hooked. The spike in dopamine and endorphin rush is amazing. Far more than I had expected. Other benefits include: reduced stress...
