Benefits of cold plunges may be short-lived, review finds
A recent review of cold-water immersion (cold plunges) suggests it may offer short-term benefits such as stress reduction, improved sleep, and fewer sick days, but its long-term effects remain unclear. The study, which analyzed multiple trials, found that cold-water immersion can temporarily reduce stress and improve quality of life but may increase inflammation in the short term. While cold plunges are popular for recovery and mental clarity, the review calls for more research to determine the long-term impacts, as results vary depending on factors like immersion duration and water temperature. The evidence suggests that while cold plunges might offer quick benefits, their lasting effects are still uncertain.
Healthy Fact of the Day: Practicing mindfulness meditation can help reduce anxiety, improve focus, and promote emotional well-being. By focusing on the present moment and letting go of distractions, mindfulness can lower stress levels and enhance mental clarity. Even just a few minutes a day can help create a sense of calm and balance in your life.
