but things like cold shower, deliberate cold showers, things like regular exercise, they aren't just feel good activities. They actually engage the norepinephrine system and keep that system tuned up and allow us to increase our norepinephrine levels at will on a regular basis. And their mood enhancing effects are real effects at the level of neurochemistry
focuses on the role of deliberate heat and deliberate cold exposure on metabolism but it also includes discussion of the effects of cold and heat on things like neurotransmitter production namely dopamine and epinephrine and norepinephrine the so-call catacol amines which strongly impact mood and Metabolism
