Cold Shower Challenge
You may find this hard to believe, but splashing yourself with cold water once in a while is extremely good for your health.
It will take a little getting used to for sure…..it’s actually called taking a “James Bond Shower” because it really does take courage to lower that temperature down!
Yes, cold showers may not be the relaxing experience you’re used to, but it does come with some pretty incredible benefits….
- A cold shower in the morning will increase your body alertness and give you a natural dose of energy for the day. (Katharine Hepburn swore by them.)
- It helps refine your hair and skin by not drying it out like hot water does, and seals the pores to prevent dirt and bacteria from getting in.
- It can improve your immune system, lower blood pressure and clear blocked arteries by making your arteries pump blood more efficiently.
- It can stimulate weight loss
- It can reduce muscle soreness and aid the recovery process
- It can increase your tolerance to stress
- Studies have shown that cold showers can create anti-depressive effects and even boost mood
