4 Reasons Why You Need To Take Cold Showers

Negative ions in the air are natural antioxidants and make you feel relaxed (yin) as they heal you at a physical level through a process of natural alkalization. A cold shower is alkalizing because cooler temperatures increase your body`s pH. A drink from an unpolluted mountain spring will supply you with more antioxidant and alkaline power than a month of Vitamin C. A good out-breath will help accumulated acids to break down in salts, water and carbon dioxide, increasing your body`s alkalinity by reducing its acidity. No wonder meditation asks us to examine the breath. Correct breathing fosters alkalinity and we experience it as peace. Similarly, moderate exercise is alkaline; strenuous exercise is lactic acid-forming.

So when was the last time you had a cold? A year ago, few months ago or maybe yesterday? As crazy as it sounds, but there is a way to stay cold-resistent for your whole life. The key lies in strengthening your immune system. Vitamins is not the only solution nor the most reliable one, a far more cheap and better way that may help you to develop a rock-hard immune system is a cold shower.

It’s not a masochistic fetish, it’s a healthy lifestyle. Short cold showers in the morning have immense benefits on the chemistry of your body.

• Cold water helps you to produce more glutathione as well as other enzyms that help you reduce reactive oxygen (including oxygen ions, free radicals and peroxides both organinc and inorganic). As a result your natural decay of organic material is reduced. You look younger.
• Low levels of reactive oxygen mean low risk of cancer.
• Regular cold showers make you half as likely to get any chest infection than people who always stick to warm showers.
• Cold showers bring more blood to remote body parts and provide a better blood circulation. As a result you have a reduced blood pressure in your organs and all the toxins are literally flushed out of your system.
• Your mucous membranes become stronger, that gives you resistence to fever, allergies, colds, coughs, etc.
• Most important: your nervous system becomes much stronger. You can deal better with stress, you are calm, you can relax better, you are simply cool.

No coffee in the world can wake you up better than an ice cold shower. It takes some self-discipline to go through it, though. First few weeks are the worst, but you get used to it later. Bodytweaking’s philosophy is that you have to suffer, if you want to look good, be strong and healthy. It doesn’t matter if it’s a workout, a cold shower or a thesis you have to write for college: everything takes some effort, courage, determination and fortitude. That’s the difference between a real bodytweaker and the dregs of humanity.

Note: A real bodytweaker takes a cold shower at least 5 times a week.

4 Reasons Why You Need To Take Cold Showers!

A friend of mine is 45 years old, has no gray hair, and very good skin for her age. I wanted to find out if there was anything in her routine that could have been a reason for such youthful looks for her age (all without any surgery by the way!). Leaving genetics out of the equation for a moment, the one interesting thing that popped up was the fact that she takes a cold shower every morning. So I did a little research about the subject and found 4 main benefits that you gain by taking cold showers.

Now when I say cold shower, I want to clarify exactly what I mean by that. Taking a full cold shower, meaning no hot or warm or lukewarm water at all, is borderline torture! Especially in the cold winter months (I am from Montreal, and it is VERY cold here!). Besides, there are many benefits to taking a warm shower, the primary one being that it feels really good! But seriously, what I mean in this context, is the practice of starting with a warm shower, and ending the last few minutes with cool to cold water. Here are the benefits that you gain by incorporating a cold shower into your shower routine:

1- Better Circulation
Warm water makes the blood rush to your skin, and cool water makes the blood rush to your organs. This switching between hot and cold triggers better circulation in your blood by forcing the blood to move. The ideal practice would be to switch numerous times between hot and cold water, but merely ending the shower with cold water does help with circulation. Why should you worry about having good circulation? Well, it prevents such problems as hypertension, hardening of the arteries, and the appearance of varicose veins. Good circulation improves the performance of your system and thus help looking and feeling better.

2- Better looking skin
When you shower with warm water, it opens up your pores. Then you wash and this cleans up your pores. That’s all good. When you end, it would be best to close your pores and cold water does just that. It’s good to close your pores after you are all cleaned up because it will prevent the pores from being easily clogged by dirt and oil, which causes skin imperfections such as acne for example. Another benefit is that cold water makes your blood vessels constrict which reduces swelling and the appearance of dark circles under your eyes (where skin is at its thinnest). This provides you with a young, healthy glow.

3- Healthier hair
Cold water makes your hair look healthier and shinier. As a matter of fact, cool air makes your hair shinier too (that’s why there is a cool air button on your hair dryer). What the cold water does is that it closes the cuticle which makes the hair stronger and prevents dirt from easily accumulating within your scalp. Basically, the same principle with how it closes the pores of your skin as mentioned above. Stronger hair, of course, prevents hair from being easily pulled out when you are combing, and it helps in slowing down overall hair loss.

4- Mental benefits
There are plenty of mental benefits to ending your shower with cold water. The ancient samurai warriors used to pour buckets of cold river water on their heads every morning in a Shinto practice called Misogi. This was a purification ritual on a spiritual level. They believe that it cleansed their spirit and helped start a new day & new adventure fresh. Cold water obviously helps waking you up, which is what you want in the morning. Also, it energizes you and invigorates your entire being with the essence of life. Give it a try, you will definitely feel more alive! It can also lift you up if you are feeling a little down or unmotivated.

Ending your shower with cold water clearly has its advantages. Many benefits to cold showers, as you can see. I know this is something that can be very difficult for many people to do. The key is to not torture yourself. Go about it gradually. Start with a level of cold you can deal with, and slowly make it colder after each shower. As long as you get your feet wet (no pun intended!), and begin adding this routine at the end of your showers, you will be on your way to making a habit out of it and enjoy the benefits that this practice can bring you. Who knows, maybe you can avoid gray hair altogether like my friend! Maybe the fountain of youth is made up of very cold water?! 

You are going to take a cold shower tomorrow morning. I am going to take one, too.

Cost: 0$ for a cold shower. You actually save energy costs.
