Pain Management

While few studies on the medical benefits of ice baths have been done, they are shown to help alleviate pain and inflammation given that they are a form of cold exposure therapy, otherwise known as cryotherapy. This is particularly helpful if ever you feel sore after exercise or perhaps have an injury.

Immune System and Cardiovascular Health

One study published in the International Journal of Circumpolar Health showed that immersion into cold water can potentially not only boost your immune system but also improve cardiovascular health and insulin resistance. While more studies will be required in order to uncover more information, this at least shows that ice baths are not detrimental to you.

Sleep Syncing

Sleep syncing involves aligning your sleep cycle with the natural rhythms of the sun and moon to optimize your circadian rhythm. Research suggests that this can benefit both mental and physical health by improving the quantity and quality of sleep you get over time. To try it for yourself, start by establishing a consistent sleep schedule that includes going to bed and waking up at the same hour each day, and consider using a tracking app to monitor your sleep patterns.

Digital Detoxes

As much as we love our tech, there’s no denying that too much screen time can take a toll on our mental health, and if current trends are any indication, it seems we’re not alone. More people than ever are turning to timers designed to restrict media usage in favor of mindlessly scrolling for hours on end. Make the most of your newfound free time by spending time in nature to fully disconnect and recharge.

Probiotics

We’ve all heard a thing or two about the importance of “good bacteria” for gut health, and from the looks of it, prioritizing probiotics is one trend that’s here to stay. Sales of probiotic drinks such as kombucha are on the rise, but you don’t have to drop big bucks on fancy beverages to reap the benefits. Filling your diet with probiotic-rich foods such as yogurt, tempeh, and sauerkraut is just as effective for those looking to support a healthy intestinal microbiome.

Unplug

Instead of detoxing your body, try detoxing your mind by putting down your electronic devices. We’ve all heard that using cell phones before bedtime can negatively affect your sleep, but they can also make you anxious, especially when you consider all the coronavirus news lately.

Forest Bathing

No, you’re not actually bathing in a forest, you’re just walking in one. Spending time outdoors reduces stress and blood pressure while improving your mood.

Plant-Based Diet

We get that cutting meat isn’t for everyone, but eating a plant-based diet can reduce your risk of chronic illnesses like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer and it can help you lose weight.

Recovery Tech

Working at a desk all day long and then lifting weights at the gym, your body gets achy. It’s important to take care of them with foam rollers, massage guns, and compression therapy.

Self-Care

Self-care is a movement dedicated to being the best version of yourself and showing yourself love. It can include physical activity, getting a manicure, or booking a massage.

Health Benefits

Despite the fact there’s an ongoing debate whether or not celery juice is healthy, there’s scientific evidence that supports the claims it’s a powerful antioxidant, which can lower blood pressure and help with inflammation.

Downsides of Juicing

Despite the fact celery is healthy on its own, the process juicing can remove a lot of its fiber content.

Other Options

Celery juice may be the hottest health craze right now, but there’s no evidence proving it’s any better than other green veggies, such as kale and spinach.

Not Enough

Drinking a cup of celery juice in the morning doesn’t mean you’ve satisfied your vegetable quota for the day, and if you focus solely on this vegetable you’ll miss out on the unique nutrients other super foods can bring.

Still Healthy

In the end of the day, celery may not be more beneficial than some of the other veggies people enjoy juicing, but that doesn’t make it harmful. Any healthy trend is a good trend, and it’s worth a shot if you want to give it a go.
