Benefits Of Cold Showers | The Uncomfortable Truth

We live in such a pussified world where taking cold showers seems so extreme! Nah were a culture of comfort and convenience, cold showers reminds us to build up resilience, toughness and grit!

Cold showers made me bullet proof I never got Covid-19 or been sick in over 10 years. I live in Toluca Mexico it's 8,790 feet above sea level and cold shower are no joke out here!

5-20 minutes cold shower? I thought 1-2 was a lot

Got inflammation in the joints of my fingers in my late 50s and this is what you don’t want as a guitarist. Cold showers sorted this out and still does four years down the line.

What if you keep catching flu by doing this

Can we drink cold water? It’s a lot easier 😂

These claims and anecdotes are all very well, but none of this has been properly studied.

Brown fat sounds nasty

Why do my legs hurt so bad when I step into the shower?

I couldn't go for more that 1 minute!

I’ve been doing this for the last forty something years. All my friends think I’ve got a screw loose.

I'm swimming in an unheated pool and topping my showers off cold(for 1-2 min.)I've found that it increases my focus and concentration when doing breathing exercises as well. A 2 for 1, if you will....

since i was 5years old i have been taking subzero showers, it helps with my migranes and keeps me strong under pressure not a snowflake like everyone else. am 38 powerlifter and i dont use a jacket here in Chicago. i teach ppl how to do it to be solid in life i do it for 15 min. cold is for everyone but if your not used to it gotta do it little by little.

Summer yes. Winter F to the NO.

Does ice bath has the same effect as cold shower?🤔🤔

I have been doing cold showers for a month but start out with a hot shower for a couple of minutes then full cold for a couple of minutes.
The 30-40 C drop in temperature seems to turbo charge your body.

Cold showers increase cortisol levels thus reducing testosterone. I have not found one study indicating an increase in t levels.

It is not even painful. For the first 30 seconds (at the most) I feel uncomfortable, but it is not painful. You get used to it won't notice the rest. Honestly most people are too conditioned to realise that "cold" (showering without the hot tap) is not actual cold. Except if it's winter in a fairly cold place. I do know for sure it makes me feel better afterwards, more energised and everything.

I feel a new sense of life after a cold shower, in summer I literally get about 3/4 a day if I can. I like the warmth but nothing beats a cold shower

Cold showers cure the “I can’t” attitude.

It's a shame it don't stop you getting up for a piss in the middle of the night lol

I might try a cold shower in the mornings.

Lymphatic and lymph - not on this list? 🤔 it should be

The thumbnail of the 'frosty' looking dude made me laugh.

Please show us the research proving that testosterone levels rise. I am not able to find any.

I’ve been taking cold showers for a while now. The trick is to wash in lukewarm water and then just rip the bandaid off and turn it all the way down. Once your body gets over the initial shock, you’ll that the frigid water actually gets warmer as you adjust to it. The WI winter doesn’t faze me one bit anymore! I highly recommend everyone give this a shot, it’s invigorating.

Hi can I still take cold showers with enlarged left atrium and pad + higher blood pressure?

It’s winter. I can’t confirm the health benefits. But I certainly do not feel the cold winter weather anything like I used to. Love it.

Stand outside in the snow ❄with T shirt 👕 and shorts for as long as you can. It's free air conditioning and its works like a cold shower 🚿 without getting wet.
