For the last few weeks, we have been experiencing temperatures of ninety degrees. I observed that I was feeling extremely fatigued, and my visual symptoms and dizziness were more noticeable. Realizing the need for a change, I started engaging in nightly cold plunge sessions in my bathtub with the water set to its coldest temperature. I spend 15 minutes in the tub before going to bed. This new routine has helped me overcome my fatigue, and I now feel more energetic and sleep better. Additionally, my resting heart rate has dropped by nearly 10 beats per minute.
I am curious about the recommended temperature and potential risks of cold plunges according to research. It is advised to aim for temperatures between 50-60 degrees Fahrenheit and to spend 10-15 minutes per session in the plunge. Following a strength training session, it is suggested to use a sauna instead of a plunge. Cold plunges are particularly beneficial for endurance sports.
