Well, I honestly LOVE warm showers and baths. I don’t think there is anything else more relaxing and soothing for the body, and since I get cold easily, I love the warmth. However, I have also always loved the refreshing feeling after a dip in a cold ocean (well, I have grown up in Sweden so I kind of didn’t have a choice but to like it haha), and since there are many health benefits with cold baths, I have just started a new routine of ending every shower with cold water. At the moment, I can’t handle more than a little less than a minute, but maybe I will get use to it and be able to do it longer soon.

Some of the benefits with cold showers are:

• Increased circulation in the body
• Shinier hair
• Reduce stress
• Wakes you up and gives you a boost of energy
• Increased level of alertness
• Reducing muscle soreness post workout
• Glowing skin
• Can help improve metabolism
• Helps you to breathe deeper

I have also heard of people who have experienced a better immune system thanks to cold showers, but have also heard that you should avoid if if you have skin problems, such as eczema (so I will be a bit careful with it and see how it feels after a while since I have a very dry skin).

If you want to read more about this, Wim Hof is very inspiring and his method seems so interesting.

Has anyone tried it? If so, what is your experience?
