Blog Post #912/22/2023 I really didn’t know what to write about as this was the deload. I just spent the whole time resting and at practice. So I thought that I would talk about some of the stuff I researched and stuff that stuck out to me during this time. The thing that stuck out to me the most was the truth about Ice Baths. The common belief of ice baths is that they are beneficial because when your body is sore if you put cold on them it helps just like when you put an ice pack on a sore spot. What I found out was that that’s not why it’s so beneficial to our human body. Did you know that if you wanted to strip fat off your body for weight loss this is one of the most effective ways to help with that? Now I know what you thinking, “easy way to strip fat off your body” That sounds like every infomercial past 12 a.m. But what happens to your body as you are submerged in cold water is that your brain sends out what is called a cold shock protein. Your body produces 8 different types of cold shock proteins all with different benefits. YB-1 promotes wound healing and helps the body form scar tissue. It also plays a role in the immune response by helping draw immune cells to sites of inflammation. Lin28A/B helps regulate glucose metabolism ( one of the ways it helps with losing fat). RBM3 is one of the most beneficial ones for a deload. What RBM3 does is it helps maintain muscle mass, even when doing absolutely nothing. CIRP does a multitude of things, it helps regulate your circadian rhythm, helps keep muscle mass just like RBM3, and it helps with inflammation. Those are just a few of the cold shock proteins which shows just how beneficial those are.
