The article talks mostly about weight loss as a benefit. There are also suggestions that cold may improve your immune system. Wim Hof (aka the "Ice man") is exploring that idea[1]. Among other things, he runs marathons in the arctic on bare foot and sits in ice cubes for prolonged periods. He also did a ted talk a while ago. http://www.icemanwimhof.com/en-home http://www.icemanwimhof.com/en-home
