THE SOOTHING AND SOPORIFIC POSITIVE EFFECTS OF COLD SHOWER ON THE HUMAN BODY, A MORE PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE TO HOT SHOWER
Hello ladies and gentlemen of the ever gallant Hive community. Wetin dey happen na? Due to the difference in time zone I would refrain from saying GOOD EVENING because I know some countries are just waking up and some are probably in the afternoon. It's exactly 8:37PM as at the time of typing this sentence. I just came back from work, tired and stressed out. I decided to take a shower. The question now is whether it is a COLD or HOT shower. Surprisingly, it's a cold shower.

A lot of people have a somewhat negative opinion about cold showers. They see it as something scary due to the effects that it has on the body at first and they may only bath with cold water when they are feeling too much heat, depressed or feeling down. Well, if you are one of such persons you may have a rethink and have at least two times of cold showers in a week.
Interestingly, cold showers is good for body metabolism as it improves the cardiovascular system of the human body as it keeps it warm despite using cold water. A cold shower improves and invigorates the body by serving as a huge booster for the metabolism of the body. Cold showers also help to burn calories in the body due to the reduction of body temperature.
Cold showers is also effective in getting rid of infections in the body through the cells. This is possible by aiding the lymphatic system, a pivotal part of the immune system which protects the body from invaders that causes illness and removes cellular waste.

Cold showers, more importantly, helps to deal with stress as a result of making the nervous system resilient. Like, I said earlier in the introduction of the post, I made mention of the fact that I had a cold shower when I got back from work to ease off the stress of the day.
Cold showers are also good to get over depression quickly, to have a smooth and glowing skin, also boosts testosterone level (a good news for guys), among others.
