Hot showers vs Cold showers?

[Jackson2005]

So, earlier today I had a debate with a friend of mine about this. He thinks cold showers are unnecessary and dangerous, because of the temperature drop, and the cold shock response. Which is understandable, but as a cold shower lover, I kinda started a debate, because I feel like they’re good for like getting better sleep, relieving pain and reducing inflammation. Am I wrong?

Each has their own benefits. Cold showers can be conducive to improving the health of one’s nervous system, and also for the reasons you listed such as pain relief and inflammation reduction. Hot showers can also relieve pain by relaxing the muscles, the heat can help heal injuries faster by improving blood flow to the affected area, and can be a welcome experience provided you’re not under the water for too long. It’s really the difference between an ice pack and a heating pad, both do the same jobs in different ways.

Very true!

It's whatever you prefer deep down but I will say for people that take cold showers, there has to be a hint of psychopathy somewhere in there lol.

[Jackson2005]

I’m more than a little psychotic then, because I take them all the time. 😂😂😂

[mandyfire98]

It's just wild to me lol. It's like instant chaos to get your day going 😂

[Jackson2005]

Gotta have a little bit of fun, and spice it up a little bit. 😂

[mandyfire98]

Definitely spicy lol

[Jackson2005]

I take cool showers, especially in the winter. Hot water will dry your skin even more during the winter. I have psoriasis and hemorrhoids, so cool water doesn't aggravate my condition as much.

[Jackson2005]

Understandable, and yes, very much agree.

[mandyfire98]

Wally, you are a hemorrhoid

[KostasKouvalis]

Not too hot, but a little over luke warm. I only take cold ones if I get really hot and sweaty

[Beckybooboo]

I take fairly hot showers, I just don't feel clean if I don't. As that weirdo mentioned lol the one talking about his hemorrhoids and psoriasis, It will dry out your skin, so, this time of year I do use a body lotion.
