ICE BATHING REJUVENATION

Since the dawn of time humans have taken advantage of the health giving benefits of plunging and immersing in ice cold water. Like a fountain of youth, ice baths promote wellbeing, weightless, recovery and stress relief. .

The Benefits of Regular Ice Baths
Professional high performance athletes regularly use ice water after an intense race or game for faster recovery and metabolic rejuvenation. Now for the first time in Hobart we can all enjoy the healing benefits of regular ice bathing. 

Physical Recovery. 
An ice bath can change the way in which fluids like blood and lymph flow through your body. Your vessels constrict because of the cold and open back up when your body warms up after the ice bath. This process helps to flush metabolic waste from your body, while also getting oxygen and nutrients to your muscles. Ice baths can lower inflammation after intense physical exercise.

Weight Loss
Cold temperatures stimulate the activation of brown fat tissue throughout your body. Brown fat helps your body to generate heat as it burns off white fat. Therefore, taking regular ice baths helps prevent the accumulation of excess body weight and aid in weight reduction. 

Increased Parasympathetic Activity. 
Exposing your body to cold conditions on a regular basis can make you more resilient to stress. As your body adjusts to the cold, the vagus nerve is stimulated, which is connected to many important organs by means of the parasympathetic nervous system. The resulting increase in parasympathetic activity has positive effects on all kinds of conditions such as anxiety, depression, and gut problems.

Wim Hof Method​
Nova recommends the use of the Wim Hof Method. The three pillars of the method are: breathing, focus, and controlled exposure to cold though temperature modulated ice bathing.
