What are the advantages and disadvantages of taking a cold shower

Living habits are particularly important for a person, especially when taking a bath, you can also maintain your health. Many friends take cold showers when they take a bath. This is a particularly meaningful thing for me to maintain my health. In fact, it is the same as winter swimming. However, many friends are not suitable for cold showers. So what are the advantages and disadvantages of taking cold showers? Let’s take a look at it below.

Advantages and disadvantages of taking a cold shower:

1. When taking a cold shower, the water temperature is too low and the human body will feel cold, which will cause a series of stress reactions, such as increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, muscle contraction, nervous tension, etc. It will not only fail to eliminate fatigue, but also easily cause colds, so it should be avoided as much as possible. For those who have poor physical constitution, they should not take cold showers. Otherwise, their poor resistance will be stimulated by the cold and may cause colds, fevers and other diseases.

2. In some areas, climate change is significant, causing influenza to break out earlier. Colds should be prevented early. Taking cold showers is not a wise move for some friends. However, you can persist in washing your face with cold water for a long time to promote blood circulation, prevent colds and rhinitis, and make your skin more shiny and elastic.

3. For winter swimmers who exercise all year round, there needs to be a process of learning and adaptation, and they need to persist all year round. However, cold water bath exercises must be carried out gradually: in autumn, the temperature gradually drops, and the human body gradually adapts to the cold and cold water, so that in late autumn and winter, taking a cold water bath does not feel too cold. The "gradual" cold water bath should also include bathing parts "from local to whole body", water temperature "from high to low" and bathing time "from short to long".

There is no contradiction between winter and cold showers, because cold showers are carried out under human control. Under conditions that people can tolerate, they can maximize people's ability to adapt to cold weather and enhance their physical fitness. This is like what we usually say to have less contact with germs, but under controllable conditions, we can introduce artificially processed germs into the human body to obtain the maximum immune effect. The principle is the same, and moderation is very important, otherwise you will suffer from it! !

Taking a cold shower has many benefits for strengthening your physical fitness, improving your health level, and preventing and curing diseases. Long-term and continuous cold shower exercises will not only increase the elasticity of blood vessels, but also prevent vascular sclerosis, colds, bronchitis, tonsillitis, pneumonia, etc.

Through the above introduction, we know the advantages and disadvantages of taking a cold shower. It can be seen that the advantages of taking a cold shower outweigh the disadvantages. We just have to be careful when taking a cold shower. Friends who have never taken a cold shower should be more careful when taking a shower. You can slowly adapt through time and water temperature. It takes a process and you cannot take a cold shower directly.
