Possibly, the idea of a cold shower makes many shudder. To get cold just thinking about it and reject it. However, and scientifically proven, taking a cold shower is beneficial for the body.
See below, according to experts, why it is beneficial for the body to start your day with a cold shower:
Reduces inflammation
The cold significantly reduces swelling in the body through vasoconstriction, blood is pumped away from inflammatory areas.
Increases heart rate
As the veins become narrower, the heart rate naturally increases to supply the body with more oxygen-rich blood. An increase in heart rate causes the breath to expand to provide more oxygen to the blood. As we breathe deeper and pump blood at a higher rate, our cells receive more oxygen, which helps them function better.
Improves mood
And yet, a cold shower can help relieve stress. According to a study published in Medical Hypotheses: "Cold showers increase the availability of neurotransmitters such as endorphins." This in turn improves mood.
Improves hair health
When you bathe in cold water, you enhance the shine of your hair. Hair contains a protein called keratin, which acts as a shield around the follicles to protect it from damage. Just as our veins become smaller when exposed to the cold, our pores also tighten in the cold, making the skin look smoother. In addition, the cold shower helps remove toxins from our skin.
