Not just a great post-workout routine, there are additional benefits to unlock from regular ice baths which benefit the entire body

You have heard about how ice baths make a great post-work out/recovery routine but do you know they are also great for improving over all health?

As you know, at Conscious Culture Au we stand for promoting health in its entirety MIND.BODY.SPIRIT. This is why we love ice baths so much! Not only are they a great addition to your exercise regime but here are some other ways you can unlock the benefits of regular ice baths.

1. Regular ice bathing removes metabolic waste from your body. The fresh, nutrient rich blood flows to your muscles, helping remove the metabolic waste that builds up during exercise. 

2. The practice of regular ice bathing has shown to improve gut problems. As your body adjusts to the cold, the Vagus nerve is stimulated. But why is the vagus nerve so important you ask? The Vagus nerve is essential for keeping our bodies healthy, networking the brain with the stomach and digestive tract, the lungs, heart, spleen, intestines, liver and kidneys.

3. They are beneficial in alleviating anxiety and depression symptoms. Having an ice bath "shocks the system", this process stimulates electrical nerve impulses which run from the brain to the nervous system. This results in an effect that is said to be similar to antidepressants.

4. They improve the immune system and provide an increased ability to fight off illnesses. Regular ice bathing has shown to provide long lasting changes to the immune system, the lymphatic and circulatory systems. This is important because these are the areas which facilitate our immunity and general health.

We hope you found this helpful and it provided you some great information in ways regular ice baths can improve your overall health and well being.
