What are the benefits of a cold water dook?

• Improved circulation

  Cold dook’s can improve blood circulation by constricting blood vessels in your extremities and then dilating them when you warm up. This can help clear waste and provide tissues with oxygen and nutrients.
• Reduced inflammation and muscle soreness

  Cold dook’s can reduce swelling and inflammation, which can help with muscle pain and stiffness after exercise.
• Improved mood and focus

  Cold dook’s can temporarily boost your mood, which may lead to long-term mental health benefits like reduced anxiety and depression.
• Improved recovery

  Cold dook’s can help you recover faster after exercise.
• Improved immune system

  Cold dook’s can help boost your immune system and lower your risk of infection.
• Improved cardiovascular health

  Cold dook’s can improve risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
• Improved metabolism

  Cold dook’s may have beneficial effects on metabolism and body fat, including reducing body fat and the risk of metabolic diseases.
• Improved sleep
