The Pros and Cons of Cold Showers — and Other Cold Therapies The Science
Did you know that a little cold can make you feel better, help you live longer, and reduce pain? It also helps you focus and concentrate.
Cryotherapy is a popular way to help your body live longer and stay healthy.
It’s for a very good reason.
It affects metabolism, heart rate and blood pressure, as well as many biomarkers.
This improves your pain tolerance, energy and mood levels.
It can affect mitochondrial biogenesis, brown fat storage and even white adipose tissues.
There are very few systems that remain untouched.
It has side effects, particularly for those with health problems, but these people also stand to benefit the most.
You can get more information by watching this video. I discuss in detail the topic and the studies done to evaluate the effects.
Enjoy your day.
