Neuroprotection and neuroplasticity benefits of cold water therapy

When you’re exposed to the cold, the body releases cold shock proteins known as RNA binding motif 3 (RBM3), which are directly linked to regeneration of synapses in the human brain. Synapses are gaps between neurons through which our neurons communicate, and are responsible for normal brain function and how we form memories. This effectively means that cold water therapy could play a role in decreasing the degeneration of our neurons, and therefore the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases, because it promotes the growth and development of nervous tissue and neurogenesis.
