cold exposure
Cold exposure refers to the practice of exposing the body to low temperatures, which can occur naturally in cold environments or through specific activities like ice baths or cold showers. This exposure can stimulate various physiological responses, including increased circulation and metabolic rate, as the body works to maintain its core temperature.
Many people engage in cold exposure for potential health benefits, such as improved recovery after exercise, enhanced mood, and increased resilience to stress. Techniques like Wim Hof Method combine cold exposure with breathing exercises to maximize these effects, promoting overall well-being and mental clarity.
