The Ice Bath Hype…Is It Actually Worth It?

1 Min Read

Chill to chill?

You’ve seen it: Athletes, influencers, even your neighbor plunging into freezing water like it’s a religion. The promise? Less inflammation, better recovery, boosted mood.

Science backs some of it—cold exposure triggers dopamine spikes and reduces soreness. But the key? You don’t need a 10-minute ice bath. Even a 30-second cold shower can kickstart benefits.

So if you’re dreading your first plunge, start small. Your nervous system will thank you.
