Jonathan Leary, who has a doctorate in chiropractic medicine and is CEO and
founder of Remedy Place, a wellness centre in New York City and California
that offers ice bath classes, says that putting your body in cold water
causes the blood vessels in the areas that are submerged to narrow. This is
called vasoconstriction, and it sends blood to your organs.
Plus, water puts pressure on the body. This is called hydrostatic pressure,
and it helps blood flow to essential organs like the heart, brain, and
lungs. When more blood flows to your significant organs, more oxygen and
nutrients can get to them.
