The Science Behind Ice Baths
The concept of ice baths, AKA cold-water immersion, has its roots to ancient practices, but modern science has illuminated its benefits. When immersed in icy water, the body experiences vasoconstriction, where blood vessels narrow, followed by vasodilation, where they widen upon rewarming. This is believed to reduce inflammation, muscle soreness & promote faster recovery. There is also a release of feel good hormones such as dopemine and oxytocin. Thermoregulation also kicks in to help warm you up during and particularly afterwards, which can help with weight loss.
Portability Redefined
Now, traditional ice baths require specialised facilities/large tubs filled with ice, making them impractical for lots of people.
