Would you ever plunge yourself into a chilly ice bath for up to two minutes?

The practice isn't new, as people have been dunking themselves into cold water as far back as 3500 BC, according to the U.S. National Institutes of Health. Adding heat into a cold plunge cycle is known as contrast therapy, which is often done by sitting in a sauna.

"I leave feeling...invigorated and alive and energized. It's really a wonderful feeling," Toronto-based cold plunge enthusiast Leanne Whistance-Smith told Global News.

As Alexia Kapralos explains, people partake in the practice for the physical and mental health benefits.
