For some enthusiasts about health and healthy living, cold showers are a good thing. It may be a one minute thing at the end of each warm shower, or it may be the real deal, bathing with cold water all through.
Cold water showers are said to relieve pains, have better benefits for your skin and hair to make them glow, lower stress, make you more alert, improve circulation and even help with the symptoms of depression.
It takes real courage though to do that, because as humans, we don't like cold water instinctively. It's something to do with our need to survive. It's also not something you want to be doing if you have a cold as it can make it worse.
Some people do it for a while, some do it for months and even years. Like any other health tip, it's best to consult your health care provider before doing this especially if you have any underlying health conditions like hypotension.
