Intimidated by the idea of a cold plunge? Chill out.
T E X T PAUL HAGEN TAKE THE PLUNGE. HOME REMEDY F rom too-cool swimming pools to uncomfortably chilly shorelines, ending up in cold water usually seems like a fate to be avoided. But evidence shows that—under con- trolled circumstances—immersing oneself in cold water can have a variety of positive effects on health. After exer- cise, it may reduce inflammation and soreness for easier recov- ery. The chill may also help build resilience, balance the nervous system, and even improve the way we think and feel. Most people choose to plunge in water that’s 50°F to 60°F— cold enough to produce the desired physiological response but not dangerous. (For safety, avoid temperatures lower than 39°F.) Results may be achieved from one continuous immersion or multiple sessions with breaks. Many practitioners start with a manageable goal like 30 seconds, but can work toward up to 10 minutes at a time. Now, Kohler is making it easier than ever to plunge under ideal conditions, partnering with social wellness club Remedy Place to create the Kohler x Remedy Place Ice Bath. With precision temperature control, ergo-dynamic body position, UV filtration, integrated lighting, app connectivity for guided breathwork, and optional plumbing for indoor or outdoor tubs, it may finally be time to take home the coolest way to hack your health. ■
