Our body does what it needs to do to survive but it isn't always good for us or what we want at the time.
If we are dieting to lose weight our Metabolism will readjust causing our calorie defecit to be in vain.
The initial injury causes vasodilation and essentially a leaky endothelium. Unless your icing it AS THE INJURY occurred the process has already started. Histamine, leukotrienes, bradykinin, nitric oxide are in a battle to cause dilation and contraction. All the ice does is stop the body from overdoing something, bc it will overdo it. An injured ankle is the primary concern at the time. Not icing it allows it to do so at the cost of significantly more swelling and pain though.
Always ice an injury initially, especially a joint. Some swelling is ok but too much is counterproductive.
