Improves blood circulation so the arteries work more efficiently at pumping blood, therefore boosting our overall heart health *
Promotes “hardening,” which results in increased tolerance to stress and disease *
Upgrades the immune system by increasing glutathione (our master antioxidant) and decreasing inflammatory markers *
Intentional cold exposures initiate adaptive processes and response mechanisms that are hardwired into our genes.
Cold exposure benefits include:
- Boosting heart health through improved circulation and increased tolerance to stress
- Upgraded immunity, and enhanced metabolic flexibility
- Rhonda Patrick, PHD writes “cold exposures increase cold shock proteins including one in the brain that repairs damaged synapses and in muscle prevents atrophy, how a cold-induced catecholamine lowers inflammation and pain by decreasing the levels of 3 inflammatory mediators.”
