Ice bars. Everyone should do them. Today we're going to talk about the benefits of an ice bar. Ice bars have been raved about, but was keen to give you a real insight into what they actually do for our body from science-based research. The first thing it does is calms the nervous system. It helps build resilience. It helps train composure and it helps us really engage the parasympathetic nervous system rather than the fight orflight mode which is our sympathetic nervous system. Number two, it optimizes hormones and neurotransmitters. It increases dopamine by on average about 600%. That's more than most elicit substances. And it's a sustained high. You do not have a comedown. It is a natural beautiful high that you can last for hours. The second is neuroepinephrine, which is focus and alertness. That's massively increased with a b with uh cold exposure. The third is human growth hormone. uh we all need that when we're thinking about muscle growth, recovery, all of those sorts of things. That's all HGH that is also activated by cold. The third thing is it really levels up your resilience. The hardest thing that you can do to your body is dump it in a bucket of ice. So if you are able to deal with that kind of stress in your body in a controlled environment and you learn how to manage that stress in a controlled environment, you have then got the tools to manage your stress when that environment is uncontrolled. really important in our everyday world. And the last is it helps obviously drive performance and also recovery. It reduces your inflammation, really helps your muscles recover from long training sessions. It just helps us become our best athletic selves.
