Cold water will wake you up, without a doubt, and it will keep you awake.
But it has more health benefits than anything else. In SEAL training you spend a lot of time in cold water and there’s actually some science to the madness of putting us in cold water. One, the reason professional athletes do it all the time after a workout is it increases recovery. It vasoconstricts the entire body, squeezing out all of that lactic acid so that you can feel good to go the next day and be ready for the next day training.
但它比其他任何東西都更有益於健康。在海豹訓練中，你會花很多時間在冷水中，事實上，讓我們泡在冷水中，是有一些科學道理的。第一，職業運動員在鍛鍊後都會這樣做的原因是它加快了身體的.恢復。它會收縮整個身體，擠壓出所有的乳酸，這樣你第二天就能感覺良好，爲來日的訓練做好準備。
That cold water is therapy. Even though it was torture, it’s therapy so that it keeps you healthy, keeps your joints and inflammation down, vasoconstricts everything down and allows you to keep moving forward, hopefully without any more injury.
冷水就是一種治療。儘管它有點折磨人，但這種治療能讓你保持健康，保護關節，減少炎症，血管收縮，讓你繼續前行，不再受更多的傷害。
