Cold Exposure: The Benefits Of Exposing Our Bodies To Cold

Episode 50 of the Fit Mother Project Podcast is all about cold exposure and why we get phenomenal health benefits when we expose our bodies to cold.

Our bodies get stronger when we stress them. 

Exercise is stress to our muscles, tendons, and cardiovascular system, and after we stress, that kicks in the body's adaptation process to repair and grow stronger. 

One of the most fundamental and primal stresses is temperature. 

That’s why, every morning after I hydrate, I do a three-minute cold plunge in a cold tub my friend built me out of a big chest freezer.

And that’s what I want you to consider — getting yourself a cold plunge or at least taking some cold showers so you can see the health advantages of cold exposure. 

The first thing that happens when you expose your body to cold is you get a stronger immune system. 

It has been well documented that the white blood cells that are the champions of our immune system increase in a good, healthy way when exposed to cold. 

So if you're looking at maximizing your immune strength, you’ve got to listen to this episode. 

It's not just about nutrition, sleeping, and exercise … cold exposure is one of the best things you can do for a stronger immune system. 

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg (see what I did there?) regarding the myriad health benefits of cold exposure!

In this episode, you’ll learn: 

• The massive benefits of cold exposure.
• How it improves your body's stress response. 
• How to become more stress resilient.
• The keys to decreasing inflammation.
• Improving your physical performance and recovery.
• And so much more!
