You could write a book about brown fat. This special type of fat effectively helps burn calories and generate heat (thermogenesis). Brown fat increases the body's overall energy expenditure, which can contribute to weight loss.

It improves your metabolism, reduces the risk of metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and makes you feel energetic and positive, which contributes to your overall well-being.

In short, stimulating brown fat through cold water therapy offers numerous health benefits and increases your vitality.

An often overlooked benefit of cold water therapy is its role in the body’s detoxification process. Cold water therapy stimulates the lymphatic system and improves blood circulation, allowing lymph to more efficiently remove waste and toxins. This supports the body’s natural cleansing process, increases well-being and helps prevent disease.

Integrating an ice bath into your routine can therefore be seen as a form of internal 'spring cleaning', which contributes to a healthier and more energetic life.

Het nemen van een ijsbad verbetert de slaapkwaliteit door het parasympathische zenuwstelsel te activeren, wat ontspanning bevordert. Het verlagen van de lichaamstemperatuur ondersteunt het natuurlijke slaapritme, helpt je sneller in slaap te vallen en zorgt voor een diepere, meer herstellende slaap.

Na slechts 2 minuten onderdompeling ontstaan al geweldige voordelen.

Perhaps one of the most immediate effects of an ice bath is the increase in energy and vitality. The exposure to cold stimulates the body into action, often resulting in a natural 'high' after a cold plunge.

There is nothing else that can naturally give you more focus.

To experience the benefits of cold therapy, we recommend keeping the water below 15°C and staying in the ice bath for 3-5 minutes. This may vary from person to person, but experience has shown that these guidelines are most effective for optimal results.

We go into this in more detail in our Cold Water Therapy e-book, where you can find all the information. You will receive this e-book as standard with every ice bath you purchase.
