Here are just some of the benefits of a sauna and cold plunge routine:
A boost in energy levels - As you increase your heart rate and influence your nervous system putting you in to focus and activating a bodily response!
Increased circulation - Alternating from hot to cold can stimulate blood flow and improve circulation. The heat from the sauna causes blood vessels to dilate, while the cold plunge causes them to constrict. This contrast can enhance overall circulation, potentially benefiting cardiovascular health.
Enhance Immune Function - elevated body temperature can help certain types of immune cells function better. In this way, sauna sessions could help to keep you from falling sick, especially during colder winter months. Your body enhances its generation and differentiation of a type of lymphocyte that can destroy virus-infected cells.
Promotes Faster Muscle Repair - Cold plunges help reduce muscle inflammation and soreness by constricting blood vessels and decreasing metabolic activity, which may aid in muscle recovery after intense exercise. Saunas, on the other hand, can relax muscles and relieve tension. regular sauna sessions can reduce the buildup of lactic acid in your muscles. Sauna use also induces heat shock proteins and the production of human growth hormone while releasing many other hormones.
