What Cold Baths & Showers Can Do for You That Hot Ones Can’t.





Cold Showers Can Help Fight Colds & Flus

According to a study conducted by a group of immunologists and physiologists from the Czech Republic, men who immersed themselves in 57°F (14°C) water three times each week for six weeks uncovered a few changes. Aside from goosebumps, the biggest change the researchers saw was an increase in white blood cells.
With their power to consume pathogens, eliminate bacteria, and fight viruses and toxins, white blood cells keep you feeling your best while boosting your immune system's defenses. So, if you're prone to getting the sniffles, try taking a cold dip in the tub, or swap out your warm showers for cooler ones three times per week.







Cold Showers Can Actually Improve Your Mood


You might think that waking up with a chilly shower sounds like a terrible start to your day, but in fact, this one simple change could put you in a better mood.
