Cate Blanchett and stars swear by icy morning plunges for energy

Cold plunges and ice baths have become a go-to wellness trend among celebrities and athletes. Cate Blanchett, NBA stars, and other high-profile figures now swear by the practice for energy and recovery. The routine involves immersing the body in freezing water, often first thing in the morning.

Blanchett has long been vocal about her icy morning rituals. Every day, she starts with an ice bath, calling it a 'game-changer' for her energy levels. Alongside cold plunges, she practices lymphatic drainage and tai chi to maintain her well-being.
