I took a cold shower once and it does help your memory. It was years ago and I can still remember how cold it was. 😂
😂😂😂
I think you living in a cold place like Europe
Lolololololololol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shocking that you remember that! 😝👍🏼👍🏼
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Been taking cold showers everyday for about a year. I can attest to the benefits. I don’t really feel the cold harshly at all anymore. And winter outside is more comfortable.
@Rahel no toilet 🚽 paper down there huh 🤔?
I function better in the winter. I’m stronger, more energetic, I worked outside in the cold doing snow shoveling for nine years in a row. I dont even get sore from shoveling snow anymore.
@Dag Nabitsflat right! I have been doing it after workouts and it has become refreshing!
@Briana Kelley 💪
Cold showers bring so many benefits from self discipline to increased muscle mass and concentration it’s mad and it’s something they don’t teach us in school along with semen retention. Anyway I just made a vid on all this and went in deep I’d appreciate if you take a look you’ll learn something great 💯💪🏽
I started working out recently in the mornings, by the time I get home I’m still hot and sweating so I take cold showers to cool off. The feeling of a good workout and a cold shower combined is one of the greatest feelings. I’m awake, more alert, energetic and in a better mood throughout the day.
My wife always told me to take a cold shower
Is there a specific time you have to have to be in the shower for cause most of the time when I take showers they last about 15 min
These are just the benefits of working out, not having a cold shower…

Cold shower after workout promote muscle recovery too. 💪
Took my first cold shower ever and let me tell you, it was not easy! But after the shower you will feel so calm and happy. I will definitely continue this.
@Zibi21 its not even that bad. I went for a quick dip in a frozen lake in kansas now that was cold
@Loki Mani Idk, I usually put it on the coldest temp and leave the hot water alone, in most households that is like 55-60 degree water.
@Loki Mani cold as in don’t touch the hot water knob in shower
I kept hitting my head with a hammer. When I stopped doing it, I felt so calm and happy.
Cold ie at least 15C or lower
I have High High HIGH anxiety and I’m telling you this doctor is amazing because when I’m at my worse which is way to often I’ll take a 5-10 minute of a cold shower it works. But now I’m gonna do it when I feel bad and good. Thank you so much Doctor
Try reading self help books. There’s lots on Pinterest or Instagram books pages for recommendations.
Thank you
I have bad anxiety too.
I never heard about cold shower help anxiety.
I will try cold shower today.
@Narz I’ve always wondered if that works? I’m definitely gonna take your advice on that because I use to be the type to say nothing would ever help but once I tried it I was surprised and upset that it took me so long to take “GOOD ADVICE” lol Thank you so much 💕
@Flower San I’m so sorry to hear that I pray with all my heart that God takes away every bit of the anxiety and gives you a complete healing in Jesus Name Amen 🙏🏻 Yes you have to try the cold showers 🚿 and listening to music always helps me also to give you hope there is a light at the end of the tunnel, my anxiety went from 100 every day and night it caused me to have epilepsy severe epilepsy, insomnia, heart trouble and so much more and now I truly give God all The Glory no more seizures🙌🏼 and when I do get anxiety it’s so much lighter and it’ll only happen every few months if that, you’re gonna be okay and when you’re healed, you’re gonna see life in a whole new way and appreciate every moment of your life! Look forward to it! God bless you
Try mindfulness meditation. Studies show that even 5 minutes a day will noticebly decrease anxiety and stress.
I started doing cold showers a week ago. Only a few days in and I can easily shower under the coldest setting. Great stuff!
I’ve only taken cold showers after a hard workout. But yesterday I tried a wake up shower because I had no option since our boiler is out. And it woke me up more than any amount of coffee ever could. For the past month or so, we’ve been boiling water on the stove and showering the way my parents used to in Mexico when they were kids. But that cold shower just hit different and even when we do have hot water again, unless I absolutely need to, I personally don’t think I’ll be going back to hot showers. Now I understand why people in other countries are just so alert, and healthy overall.
As a kid visiting greece i saw everyone had stainless bright polished water tanks. They said that is all they use for warm water. I said what if it’s cold out. They said too bad. They enjoyed it a bet. We’ve been missing out. I did one last night and it took a bit to get used to. Pretty good in the end.
I’ve been taking cold showers for 3 years, adopted the 5 am victory hour this year and recently 16/8 intermittent fasting and 10+20 mins of HIIT sessions each day. All these help me to be a top performer in a stressful and pressured tech sales environment. Make more money and better health. Give it a go everyone.
You sound like an insufferable health nut.
I bet your coworkers are very tired of hearing it by now
Bravo 👏 👏👏
Neat.
@Long Nguyen HIIT every single day isn’t a good idea…will burn your system out…but the cold showers are everyday are fine.
@LakelanderI’m not sure what burn out feels like but I’ve been doing it for a while now, on daily basis. The 10 minute morning session is pure core not much of a HIIT. In the afternoon about 15 minutes consist of 120 burpees 10 different variants, really get my heart rate up, plenty of sweat.
I feel fine, my body recovers pretty fast I don’t feel fatigue or sore anymore. Help me get away from 10 hours working in front of the PC.
The intermittent fasting helped me drop 4 kgs! I’m at 11% body fat now, but can’t seem to drop any more weight.
I started taking cold showers during our heatwave and noticed a change in the softness of my skin, my hair is softer and I have more energy, I can now take only cold shower without any warm water for 10 minutes. I love it! 🙂
I take twice a day in this heatwave ,and true my skin better and anxiety decreased
It definitely makes you hair super soft
Before I became a mom, my husband and I were young and starting off rough. We couldn’t afford electricity or heat. I took cold showers every single day for about 6 months. I remember during the winter I would step out of my freezing shower feeling like needles poking me in the legs. Don’t recall getting use to it, just remember thinking “Do what you gotta do”… We finally got back on our feet. However, one thing I also noticed was how gorgeous my hair was. I mean shiny, volume. It was just healthy looking..
Cold showers are rough, especially during winter time when you have no heat or electricity, but cold showers do wonder to your hair! 🙂
I’ve been doing this the last two days and my body feels great after a workout. I don’t feel as sore. I’m recording my two week challenge and I’ll keep you posted ❤️
seeing it!
Keep us posted!
I can see how that might help your sore muscles, glad it’s working for you!
hi.. may i ask how long do you wait before you take a shower after your workout?
I have been taking cold showers everyday for the past 2 weeks and I can tell you my experiences. The first 10 seconds kinda takes your breath away and then you get really used to it and it feels amazing! It makes your hair smooth and your body smooth and the rest of the day you feel really energetic and wanna do things! I would definitely recommend!!!
@Dr. Smoove 100%! I’m definitely gonna try not to take any hot showers anymore unless I really need to. So far I haven’t taken any hot showers for the last month. I see big improvement from hot showers. Thanks for asking!
@Bella I saw this Salvadoran guy say to take warm-cool showers then put ice on your hair after and he showed before and after pictures and he grew it really long (for a guy lol) like chin level? Kind of a bob cut haha.
@No that’s cool that you can do that🤣
Yes! It stops the natural oils being stripped from your skin. I shower daily but only soap the necessary areas every day – armpits, undercarriage etc. For the rest I only use soap every other day. My skin has never been better.
@Awake Not Woke that’s awesome! Thanks for the extra tips!
Tried during winter, and can totally recommend, it really makes you appreciate warm showers that much more and adds a further understanding to what pain is.
what?
@Empress🌸PISCES♓️ can you read?
@Big Medallions 😂
I’ve been doing cold showers everyday for over a year now. I’m so used to it now I actually look forward to it. The jolt boosts my mood and energy and my waistline has definitely shrunk. I was very glad to see I still had my washboard abs under the spare tire I had grown since college.
That’s tough over a year you’re an inspiration, way of the warrior, I have a long way to go.
@MIGHTY MONK they say it takes about 2 weeks to form or break a habit before it starts to feel routine. Any perceived difficulty or temptation to quit is just mental and fades away eventually. The water is no less cold but as I said I look forward to it now, because I know how refreshed and alive I will feel afterward. It’s easier than drinking Apple Cider Vinegar, in my opinion.! I do a lot of difficult things for my health, but cold showers isn’t at the top of list.
I’ve done this everyday when I take my showers even on winter. When I’m fatigued, I allow myself to feel relaxed and let the cold water run for awhile. Meanwhile, rain is great too. I used to make angel wings on ❄️ snow and run and playing in the rain. It’s fun and fun… definitely energy booster for me. All natural.
LOVED this. I am healing right now and I went out in the sweltering heat to walk somewhere and man, my body really did some wonderful things, chemically speaking! A ton of my insulin resistance went away! I mean, I couldn’t STAND when my blood sugars would drop or when my mind and body started beggining for food but this was greatly diminished AFTER going in the heat! I really enjoy Hormetic effect Therapy now 😃.
Since taking cold showers I’ve never felt more alive and lost inches around my waste. I feel my vision also has improved and I look forward every morning to have o e after my workout! Your body will eventually get used to it, just start off as normal with a warm shower then slower every minute or 2 turn it a little colder unit after a few weeks you cam jump straight in ice cold! 😎
I have found that after a day of digging, firewood or working in crawlspaces a shower of hot then cold really helps relieve muscle tension. Easy to take the cold when it’s hot outside, not so easy when I’ve been working outdoors in the winter time.
Been taking 5-7 minute cold showers at 3:30am for almost a month. Makes me feel unbelievably awesome until I go to bed 18 hours later. I HATE doing it, but the payoff is just too big in terms of how fantastic I feel every minute of the day. So I do it every day.
In case you often have problems with migraine, I know by my own experience, using warm or even hot water for washing your hair is a hundred-percent trigger for it. Using cold water (or at least nearby cold water) will reduce significantly the number of attacks.
