PHD braved the Enter the Ice Challenge

While it’s important that we nurture each aspect of our physiology—it is our minds that offer an unbeatable sense of power. Going into the cold helps to stimulate the chemicals in our brain that dictate the way we feel, our focus, and attention.

Benefits of Ice Baths:

• Lift your mood and mental state – Ice baths naturally create balance and increase the levels of neurotransmitters like norepinephrine and feel-good serotonin.
• Enjoy a good night’s sleep – More than 80% of athletes taking post exercise ice baths report improved mental state and far better sleep patterns.
• Drive your body further – By exposing your body to colder temperatures, you’re able to alter the behaviour of your fat cells.
• Reach beyond your limits – Shift your system into gear with cold water therapy by challenging your body to function beyond its comfort zone.
