]]> Plunge pools, better known as ice baths or cold-water immersions, are becoming increasingly popular. While most celebrities have their trainers and the money to build a plunge pool in their back garden, the average person does not. However, there are so many benefits to plunge pools that they should not only be for the rich and famous. Here are our top reasons why you should start taking ice baths. 

Mood and Energy Booster 

Studies have shown that hormone imbalances can contribute to depression and anxiety. A cold plunge can reduce depression and improve your overall mood. Plunge pools are also an energy booster. Many people start their morning with a coffee or a workout but start your morning with a cold shower.

Improve Your Discipline and Focus 

Many claim that plunge pools have improved their focus. This is because when our brain thinks we will die, it goes into survival mode, making us highly focused and hyperaware. Plunge pools are a great way to practice mindfulness and focus on the present moment. 

Helps With Recovery 

Plunge pools or cold-water immersions can significantly benefit your overall health. Studies have shown that cold water immersion can have an anti-inflammatory effect on your muscles and joints, which helps promote recovery and lowers the risk of injury and pain.

Lymphatic Drainage

Your lymphatic system is a network of vessels that run throughout your body and is the form of transportation of bacteria and toxins away from your blood cells. When our lymphatic system is not circling correctly, we feel unwell. A plunge pool causes the muscles to contract, which ‘restarts’ the circulation process.

]]> Living a well-rounded lifestyle is a lot easier said than done. Due to our own pesky human nature, we tend to fall into routines even when they’re not particularly healthy. For instance, when we have no reason to leave our homes, and there are endless distractions keeping us there, we sometimes refrain from leaving the house for days at a time. This isn’t a good mindset to endorse because spending time outdoors should be done at least once a day.

A New Trend

During the COVID-19 pandemic, staying indoors was literally the mantra that was promoted to the entire world. Remote work became incredibly popular. Food delivery services became more common and effective. Streaming services made us feel like movie theaters were from an ancient time period.

Breaking the Habit

While some people didn’t love being cooped up at home and couldn’t wait to get out, others thrived when they stayed at home. If you’re one of those people, we totally feel you—but we still think it’s crucial for you to utilize outdoor time when you get a chance.

In addition to the valuable source of vitamin D that you can get from the sun, there’s something intrinsically natural and wholesome about being outside. It’s good for your health to see the sky, to look at trees, and to see other people that you share the world with. Even if it’s hard, push yourself to make it happen at least once a day. You won’t regret it!
