The practice of jumping into an ice-cold body of water is a centuries-old tradition that has surged in popularity over recent years thanks to the trend of “polar bear plunging.” While that’s certainly a bragworthy challenge, there are benefits to considering a dip in cold water as a regular habit versus a once-a-year feat: Cold-water exposure can boost your energy, improve your mood, alleviate inflammation, increase mitochondria production, aid in recovery, and more.

There’s no way to truly prepare myself. I know it’s going to be cold — really cold. I tense my muscles, perhaps in the vain hope of retaining body heat. But when I hit that icy water, it’s colder than I could ever have imagined. That’s when it sinks in that a midwinter swim is named after polar bears for good reason.
