The neurochemical benefits of cold exposure
1:07:26 - 1:10:12 (02:45)
Cold exposure can lead to long-lasting increases in dopamine and norepinephrine, similar to the effects of addictive substances or behaviors. Though more research is needed to determine the effect of shorter, colder temperature exposures, the benefits of deliberate cold exposure can be harnessed for activities beyond the exposure itself.
