According to Dr. Lee Sihyan, a family medicine physician, soaking in ice water is more beneficial for health than hot springs, as it can increase metabolism, boost immunity, resist aging, and promote longevity. However, individuals with cardiovascular diseases or the elderly should consult a doctor before trying ice baths as rapid temperature changes can pose health risks. Dr. Lee highlighted the benefits of ice baths, such as improving mood, circulation, and energy levels, converting white fat into brown fat for weight loss, and reducing inflammation and muscle soreness after exercise.
