What Are Cold Plunges?

Cold plunges are an ancient practice that involves immersing your body in cold water for a short period, providing a range of health benefits. At Journey Northaven, we offer cold plunges as part of our health and wellness offerings, and here's why you should consider incorporating them into your routine.

The Benefits

Enhanced Immune Function

Cold plunges are known to boost the immune system. The sudden cold exposure stimulates the production of white blood cells, which are key players in your body's defense against infections and diseases. 

Improved Circulation

When you submerge yourself in cold water, your blood vessels constrict and then rapidly dilate once you exit the water. This process, known as vasoconstriction and vasodilation, helps improve circulation by increasing blood flow throughout your body.

reduced inflammation

Cold plunges can help reduce inflammation in the body. The cold water stimulates the release of certain anti-inflammatory cytokines, which can help alleviate symptoms of inflammation-related conditions like arthritis, muscle soreness, and swelling. 

Increased energy & mood

Cold plunges have a stimulating effect on the body and mind. The cold water activates your sympathetic nervous system, triggering a release of adrenaline and endorphins. This response leads to increased alertness, improved mood, and enhanced energy levels. Many people report feeling more invigorated and refreshed after a cold plunge, making it an ideal practice to incorporate into your daily routine. We believe this is from the fact you don't want to do it, but when you do, you feel amazing!
