Regular exposure to cold water has been linked to an increase in immune system activity. Cold

plunges may stimulate the production of immune cells and enhance the body's ability to ward of

infections.

4.  Mental Well-being:

Cold exposure triggers the release of endorphins, often referred to as "feel-good" hormones. This can lead to improved mood, reduced stress, and heightened mental alertness. Cold plunges are also associated with increased resilience to stress over time.

The activation of brown fat during cold exposure can contribute to calorie burning and weight management. While not a substitute for a healthy diet and exercise, cold plunges may complement weight loss eforts.
