Canada Global (Web News) Taking a cold shower in cold weather may seem painful, but science tells us that taking a cold shower actually has several health benefits, which are as follows.
Blood Circulation
Exposure to cold water stimulates blood circulation, which improves blood flow to the body’s vital organs and improves the body’s resistance to cold.
Immune System
Some studies show that exposure to cold water makes the immune system more active. It also increases the production of immune cells (WBCs).
Awareness
Cold water stimulates the overall nervous system, which increases mental alertness and awareness. It promotes natural energy that makes you feel alert.
Mood Improvement
Exposure to cold water also increases endorphin hormone levels. Endorphins are hormones that improve mood and reduce stress and anxiety.
Skin and Hair Health
Cold water helps reduce sebum production on the skin. It also provides natural shine to the hair.
Fewer Calories
When taking a cooling bath, the body expends physical energy to maintain its core temperature, which reduces excess calories.
