What are the benefits of a cold water dook?

Cold dook’s can reduce swelling and inflammation, which can help with muscle pain and stiffness after exercise.
- Improved mood and focus
Cold dook’s can temporarily boost your mood, which may lead to long-term mental health benefits like reduced anxiety and depression.
- Improved recovery
Cold dook’s can help you recover faster after exercise.
- Improved immune system
Cold dook’s can help boost your immune system and lower your risk of infection.
- Improved cardiovascular health
Cold dook’s can improve risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
