The sound of a cold shower unless it’s absolutely sweltering outside is probably many people’s worst nightmare. However, there is some research to suggest that taking a cold shower is actually good for you. Even if you only try it every so often, there is some logic behind taking a cold shower.
Hair
Your hair is not just one long strand, it’s actually little platelets that are layered on top of each other. Some people think that if you wash your hair with cold water that the platelets will lay flatter, which will make your hair look healthier and shinier.
Circulation
When the cold water hits your skin, your blood will release from your organs and come to the surface of your skin to try to warm it up. This alone will help improve your circulation which can up your heart healthy amongst other things.
Soreness
If you’re active or like to workout, a cold shower can do wonders for your muscles. In the same way that an ice bath helps athletes with achy muscles, a cold shower can do the same for you. The cold water can actually help heal your muscles quicker, which means a shorter turn around time.
