Consistent cold exposure might also stimulate 'brown fat', which can marginally boost your metabolic rate.Researchers suggest that everyday cold exposure activates brown fat and may help speed up the body's calorie burning. A standard three to 10-minute cold plunge burns roughly 50 to 100 additional calories.‌A 2022 systematic review published in Frontiers in Physiology found that abrupt cold exposure significantly increases human energy expenditure and activates brown adipose tissue (BAT), suggesting its potential as a non-pharmaceutical approach to combat obesity. The meta-analysis of existing human studies revealed that low temperatures encourage BAT to utilise glucose and fatty acids to produce heat, thereby elevating metabolic rates.It is important to note that ice plunges carry certain risks, including cardiovascular strain and hypothermia. It's crucial to consult a doctor before attempting a cold plunge pool. Plunging into cold water abruptly triggers a powerful physiological shock, causing a rapid rise in heart rate and blood pressure that can be hazardous for people with pre-existing health conditions.Article continues belowMeanwhile, The Range is offering an Ice Bath Tub for £34.99, which is approximately the same size as B&M's version.
