Infrared sauna in combination with the cold plunge provides a dual shock of hot and cold temperature exposure. The duo is has a host of benefits including physical and mental well-being. Unlike the benefits of standalone sauna bathing that require frequent sessions to be noticed, the advantages of a sauna and cold bath routine are quick.
An ice plunge after a 15-20 minute sauna can do wonders.
When your body goes from sauna to cold plunge contrast, your body kick-starts a fight-or-flight response, enabling thermoregulation and naturally releasing norepinephrine.
In short, a cold plunge after sauna can help you reap maximum health and wellness benefits.
Plus, as per studies from the North American Sauna Society, transitioning from the hot temperature of a sauna to a freezing water temperature increases heart rate and narrows blood vessels. The result: A rush of adrenaline and endorphin that's sure to make you feel simply amazing.
Benefits of the Contrast Duo
1. Enhances your body's natural healing process: helps red blood cells travel to those parts of the body that are healing from an injury more efficiently. Also, it increases the flow of oxygen and aids the development of antibodies. It even helps the efficient transportation of essential nutrients to the injured areas.
2. Relieves pain and makes you feel better: Well, adrenaline and endorphins are associated with our body's emergency response system, which, when triggered, leads to an enhanced state of alertness. Also, it shifts our brain's focus away from the pain, thus making us feel relieved.
3. Improves blood flow: By switching between hot and cold, you can help trigger a quick dilation of your blood vessels, which instantly increases the blood flow. Also, this improves your cardiovascular response and, in turn, promotes a healthy heart.
4. Converts white fat into brown fat: Brown fat is found near the spine and is considered a healthy fat. In fact, from boosting metabolism to helping our body regulate its temperature to responding to obesity and increased blood sugar, a range of benefits are linked to brown fat. The more you expose yourself to the cold, the more brown cells your body is going to build.
5. Boosts immunity
