River Oasis
Added 2021-01-02 21:36:16 +0000 UTCI’ve found that I feel rejuvenated after swimming in lakes and rivers. The water is nearly always very cold, which at first seems uninviting but my body often adjusts. I’ve read a lot about cold water plunges and swimming in the wild. Increased circulation and boosts to your immune system seem to be two of the more common benefits, it’s shocking to my body at first but provides me a rush of endorphins and I feel alive. Being warm flushes your body, bringing blood to the surface but then plunging into cold water sends that blood to the organs. This is why some people spend time in saunas and then plunge into cold water. Have you ever tried a cold water plunge? What was your experience?
