3. Removes Toxins More EfficientlyThe circulatory system not only provides organs with a fresh supply of nutrient-enriched blood but also removes waste products from the body. For example, the blood carries waste materials from body tissues to the kidneys where they're filtered out and leaves the body in the form of urine. Blood also carries carbon dioxide, the by-product of respiration, out of the body. It's important that waste products are efficiently removed because the body needs to maintain a stable, consistent state- also known as homeostasis. Balanced internal conditions are necessary if the body is to work at its optimal peak. Cryotherapy aids the process and leaves you heavier as a result. 4. Strengthens Immune System by Increase White Blood Cell CountResearch has shown that Cryotherapy can increase White Blood Cells, the soldier that fights infection. This means your body can identify and more quickly attack foreign organisms which may cause illness. As well as fortifying the immune system, cryotherapy also invokes other positive immune responses such as decreasing inflammation by boosting the number of anti-inflammatory cytokines and reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines. This leads to the body being able to heal damaged muscles more quickly. This is why Cryotherapy is favored among athletes- it reduces muscle soreness and enhances healing so they can quickly resume training. 5. Decreases Levels of CortisolCortisol is the body's stress hormone. Although it has a number of important roles, such as regulating blood pressure and boosting energy, too much of it can lead to anxiety, insomnia, and heart disease. Studies have also found that elevated levels of cortisols and chronic stress can weaken the immune system and cause immunosuppression. Cryotherapy is known to release cortisol levels by releasing endorphins, the body's natural feel-good hormone. This is why people report feeling a burst of energy after Cryotherapy- it helps to reduce stress and improves mood. By suppressing the effects of stress on the body, the immune system is boosted and your body can go back to efficiently fighting off illness once more. |
