Exposing your body to heat or cold triggers a cascade of physiological responses. Used correctly, these practices support recovery, mood and even cardiovascular health.
The sauna
Heat dilates blood vessels, relaxes muscles and promotes a state of relaxation. Studies link regular sauna use to better cardiovascular markers. It's also a great way to decompress your nervous system.
The cold
Cold water reduces muscle soreness and gives your alertness and mood a real boost. One small caveat: right after a strength session, intense cold can slightly limit muscle gains. It's better to keep some distance between the two.
Listen to your body
These practices do not replace sleep nor the rest days. The KEORA Ring lets you see whether your evening sauna genuinely improves your night and your recovery.
Heat relaxes, cold wakes you up. Find your balance.
