Can you handle a cold shower?

[trillipinotrapstar]

Nope. I get the worst of it after I wake up out of bed and turn the handle.

Warm showers for me as always.

Steam causes that..

 

[hazeleyed honey]

I do not like cold water at all, unless it is to drink then I love cold water. I cannot even wash my face in cold water, or take a shower in cold water. I likemy showers in warm water or sometimes even hot water that it gets the washroom all steamy.

Someone post the info and how healthy a cold shower is.

I'm too lazy

ay homie, i found a few things. Dude was right about it being better for your circulation

Cold showers have the following positive effects:

* Brings blood to the capillaries, therefore increasing circulation throughout the body.

* Cleans the circulatory system.

* Reduces blood pressure on internal organs.

* Provides flushing for the organs and provides a new supply of blood.

* Strengthens the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems.

* Contracts the muscles to eliminate toxins and poisonous wastes.

* Strengthens the mucous membranes, which help resist hay fever, allergies, colds, coughs.
Better looking skin
When you shower with warm water, it opens up your pores. Then you wash and this cleans up your pores. That's all good. When you end, it would be best to close your pores and cold water does just that. It's good to close your pores after you are all cleaned up because it will prevent the pores from being easily clogged by dirt and oil, which causes skin imperfections such as acne for example.

Healthier hair
Cold water makes your hair look healthier and shinier. As a matter of fact, cool air makes your hair shinier too (that's why there is a cool air button on your hair dryer). What the cold water does is that it closes the cuticle which makes the hair stronger and prevents dirt from easily accumulating within your scalp. Basically, the same principle with how it closes the pores of your skin as mentioned above. Stronger hair, of course, prevents hair from being easily pulled out when you are combing, and it helps in slowing down overall hair loss.

Better Circulation
Warm water makes the blood rush to your skin, and cool water makes the blood rush to your organs. This switching between hot and cold triggers better circulation in your blood by forcing the blood to move. The ideal practice would be to switch numerous times between hot and cold water, but merely ending the shower with cold water does help with circulation. Why should you worry about having good circulation? Well, it prevents such problems as hypertension, hardening of the arteries, and the appearance of varicose veins. Good circulation improves the performance of your system and thus help looking and feeling better.

good work

A+

I can't even handle a cold shower on a hot day...

 

[jermz101]

It's borderline impossible for me. I did it a couple times just randomly to try but within seconds I wanted to scream and was shivering.

[color= rgb(102, 0, 153)]i could be not without preparing myself...i do it on hot days....warm at first and slowly turn itcold before i get out....hate being hot on a hot day sweating after i showered[/color]

 

[mf doomer]

Nope.

 

[10 piece nuggets]

Cold water as in not even turning on the hot? I have 2 knobs, one for warm water and one for cold (I know some people have just one knob, dont know how to#*$& with that) and I turn up the cold all the way and balance it with the hot, sometimes I have it cooler, but still somewhat warm. I can stand havingcold water and a little warm water so it isn't ice cold, but just turning the cold on? Get outta here, I cant even stand a hot shower.

 

[eight2one]

[fromthatown]

Nothing like a cold shower or a cold bath during a scorching summer.

 

[archnoobie]

Nope. Only if the hot water is out for some odd reason....

Turn that knob slowwwly towards Cold.

 

[devildog1776]

WARM ALL DAY...

 

[trasoul82]

You don't have to start with the water on cold. Start out warm and gradually lower the temperature. On top of the benefits already listed it triggers deepbreathing which in creases the body's oxygen supply. They are refreshing to say the least. I can't do it all the time though.

 

[ogbobbyjohnson773]

I can handle myself in any shower.

 

[sneakerpimp2k8]

[freddypee]

[ajwings23]
