Summary
Deliberate cold exposure can increase the baseline levels of dopamine and other catecholamines, according to data published in European Journal of Physiology. Exposure to warmer water around 60 degrees Fahrenheit, up to the neck, for 45 to 60 minutes is also supported by the literature to increase dopamine levels for long periods of time.
