Cold Water – better than you think!

Coldwater has a host of benefits, and it helps energize your system and gives it the strength you need to lead a healthy life.

Coldwater helps improve lymphatic circulation

The lymphatic system is a network of vessels that run throughout your body. The lymphatic system helps takes away waste, bacteria and microbes from your cells, which essentially lead to cleansing your body. Blood is pumped through the body by the heart. However, the lymph fluid does not have a central pump, and it relies on muscle contraction to get around. When you do not exercise, your lymphatic system becomes slow, inefficient, and toxins start building up, leading to the development of colds, joint pain, infection and could even cause disease.

Coldwater immersion leads to your lymph nodes contracting and forcing the lymphatic system to pump fluids through the body, which leads to flushing out waste from the area. This helps trigger the white blood cells so that they can get in attack mode and destroy any unwanted substances in the fluid, which leads you to feel happy and healthy.

Improvement of cardiovascular function

Cardiovascular circulation is a very critical part of overall health. With poor cardiovascular circulation, not only is blood flow compromised, but the heart gets stressed as well. This then leads to headaches, fatigue, high blood pressure, muscle cramps, and even heart attacks and strokes. Improved circulation helps improve heart health; it helps improve mental performance and boost one’s immune system and will give you more energy to live a healthy life.

While exercise and diet are great to improve cardiovascular circulation, cold water immersion can do wonders as well as it helps stimulate blood flow. When you immerse in cold water, the blood will rush around your vital organs, and this will force the heart to pump blood more efficiently, ensuring that blood reaches all the parts of your body, offering it all the nutrients and oxygen that it needs. If you do this daily, your body will receive all that it needs to stay healthy.

Coldwater immersion also helps reduce muscle inflammation, it helps boost levels of happiness and also helps in your efforts towards weight loss.
