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.

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.
