With winter approaching, everyone is trying to find ways to keep their immunity strong so that they can deal with weather changes easily, but did you know that exposing yourself to cold water during the winter can boost immune systemEspecially since using cold water while showering, swimming, or other activities can affect your health positively, according to a “healthsite” report.
Benefits of bathing with cold water during the winter
Helps activate brown fat
Brown fat, which is referred to as adipose tissue, can be activated by exposure to cold. In addition to producing heat through burning calories, brown fat is thought to have a function in immunity and metabolism.
Helps regulate stress hormone
Cold water immersion can help regulate stress hormones which has some amazing immune-boosting effects.
Improves blood circulation
Exposure to cold water can cause blood vessels to constrict and then dilate, which proponents say can improve circulation and possibly boost the movement of immune cells throughout the body.
Good for skin and hair
Cold water during the winter can help your skin and hair by preventing them from becoming dry or rough. Cold water can tighten the pores, which helps your skin look fresh and healthy. Moreover, it also tightens the hair cuticle, making your hair stronger.
What are the restrictions and precautions?
Besides these notable benefits of cold water immersion, there are some things to keep in mind before relying entirely on this method.
People with low immunity should avoid cold water baths in the winter because it may deteriorate their health, causing colds, flu, or fever.
If you suffer from high blood pressure or any type of heart disease, completely avoid cold water baths during the winter.
