5. Burn Calories (Without Moving)
Did you know sitting in a sauna can torch calories? The heat raises your heart rate, mimicking the effects of mild exercise. Cold plunges, though, force your body to work overtime to keep you warm, burning extra energy. Metabolism for the win!
6. The Mental Toughness Test
Saunas and cold plunges are both mental endurance challenges. Can you handle the heat? Can you brave the cold? Pushing through discomfort builds mental grit – and trust us, that confidence carries into everyday life.
Summary
Why choose one when you can enjoy both? Alternating between hot and cold therapy – known as contrast therapy – gives you the best of both worlds: reduced inflammation, boosted energy, and deep relaxation. So, whether you’re a heat seeker or an ice lover, your body and mind will thank you.
Ready to sweat it out or take the plunge? Your health has never felt so exhilarating!
