Could a cold plunge change your mind? science investigates

NCT ID NCT06908447

Summary

This study aims to understand how a brief, full-body cold-water bath affects a person's choices, stress levels, and body signals. Forty healthy adults will take one cold bath and one warm bath about a month apart, while researchers measure their decisions in games, food preferences, and physical responses. The goal is to gather knowledge about how sudden cold exposure influences the mind and body, not to treat any condition.
