Everything You Need to Know About Cold Shock Proteins

Almost all of the health benefits that are produced by CSPs stems from its root function: cell regeneration and repair. Damaged cells need to be replaced by new ones, and CSPs are the ones in charge to make sure this process goes smoothly. As a result, their production was reported to increase people’s overall quality of life by alleviating stress and fatigue. 

The regeneration of the synapses enhances cognition, memory and ability to learn more effectively. It also raises energy levels and people with regular exposure are more likely to continue having active lifestyles.

Physically conditioning your body to increase its tolerance to the cold would prevent you from shivering and involuntary cold shock responses. Furthermore, it allows people to grow a layer of fat which effectively insulates the body without becoming overweight, which is why this lean trait is common amongst people living in colder regions. 

Such training is particularly useful for athletes and soldiers who would need to be constantly exposed to cold water. Doing so also strengthens their muscles to enhance their physical performance while speeding up their recovery time from any injuries. However, it is absolutely crucial for them as developing resistance to the cold prevents the body having cold shock responses and drowning.

Those who undergo activities that elicit cold shock responses have a lower risk of contracting infectious diseases. Other illnesses that it helps to prevent include respiratory diseases, rheumatological diseases, fibromyalgia or asthma. Furthermore, it is reported that they experience less pain and may also be a great way to reduce conditions such as chronic pain and chronic fatigue syndrome. It is responsible for reducing inflammation and histamine levels which is particularly beneficial for those suffering from rheumatoid arthritis.

Last of all, the release of CSPs may be a great weight loss technique. This is mainly attributed to how fat is burnt by the activation of brown adipose tissues (BAT). BAT burns body fat to produce more heat and stay warm. In each session, you could expect to burn an estimate of 100 calories in addition to boosting metabolism. Although this treatment should not replace exercise and eating a healthy diet, it could provide the extra push needed to accelerate one’s weight loss journey.

CSPs can also reduce signs of aging by rejuvenating your skin and complexion. When our body ages, our metabolism slows which causes collagen production to slow down. This, in turn, causes the skin to become wrinkled and saggy. CSPs mediate this response by once again boosting their metabolism and regenerating lost collagen proteins.

Surprisingly, studies have shown that the production of CSPs were proven to alleviate symptoms of mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression. Those who are exposed to cold treatments report feelings of euphoria which improves one’s mood and energy levels. 

This is due to the release of endorphins and adrenaline along with CSPs. Again, this must not replace the need to consult with mental health professionals. However, it can be a pleasant change to spruce up people’s daily routines while also supplementing their primary treatment.
