Instead, Kerr\u2019s <\/span>extensive research states that there is a link between our modern lifestyles evolving faster than our genetic makeup<\/span><\/a> and suggests that the reason you feel tired all winter has to do with the fact that your body is genetically wired to save energy during these colder, darker months.

While it may seem counterintuitive to drop into a tank of freezing temperatures to improve your health \u2014 a cryosauna is nothing like rolling around in the snow or walking around outside without the proper clothes. <\/span><\/p>\n

As a beneficial addition to any healthy lifestyle, cryotherapy may actually help users stay on track with immune-boosting habits during flu season by helping fight chronic aches and lower overall stress. In addition to the reported feelings of energy, cryotherapy has also been reported to provide pain relief, which has a positive effect on the body\u2019s stress levels.
