let’s talk about the ten benefits of

cryotherapy or the benefits of freezing

so since the Stone Age time our bodies

have adapted to various things like

starvation and freezing so a little bit

of freezing occasionally is very

beneficial to your body it creates

something called the hormetic effect

which is inducing a small stress to make

your body stronger and there are certain

genes proteins and enzymes to get

activated when you put your body in

colder temperatures whether you put

yourself into a crowd there opee chamber

or just take a cold shower you can

activate certain genes one is the

satellite sound now a satellite cell is

like a pre muscle cell like a stem cell

that can actually then turn into a

muscle cell so one of the benefits is

muscle soreness or muscle repair from

damage and that’s one of the things that

gets activated and then you can increase

these enzymes called kinases which

increase muscle synthesis so again it’s

repairing a muscle damaged after some

injury and this is why they apply ice

after you have an injury also cold

therapy will suppress certain genes that

regulate inflammation so it’s not just

about vaso constricting the blood flow

and getting the blood flow out of there

it’s about activating your genetics to

create an effect that’s called

epigenetics so so certain things in the

environment can turn on or turn off

certain genes and col therapy can also

increase the number of mitochondria

which relates to increasing your

metabolism so these are the benefits

decreased muscle soreness repair damage

improve your immune system but of course

if you’re out in the cold too long that

can add too much stress so I’m talking

very short amounts of cold therapy

number three can decrease inflammation

for it can increase your mood try taking

a cold shower you’re gonna go into

exhilaration really fast alright number

five it can help you sleep

number six it can improve your

metabolism number seven it will increase

your antioxidant Network - then fight

against oxidative stress so it can

actually help lower your oxidative

stress it can improve herniated discs

decrease pain

and spasm and I put another video

explaining the hormetic effect of

various things check it out it’s very

interesting
