Are cold showers or cold baths really good for your body? Or is that just a meme? I've been taking cold showers when needed for the last two months and only notice my tolerance for being in thee gets longer.
it's good as a breathing exercise and for the skin.
I cannot confirm other praises sung.

Both hold benefits
Just do hot to cold

what is hot water good for besides cleaning/soothing?
>>37924826
Great for discipline and skin. Hair too. Really whenever something is good for your skin, you can assume your hair is happy about the situation as well.

icing muscles immediately post workout is a benefit to reduce inflammation. Muscle cannot optimally heal or do protein synthesis in an inflammatory situation.
>>37925244
That makes no sense. Inflamation is part of the body's normal reaction to injury. It's part of the healing process. That's what it's for.
>>37925843
This. Without inflammation there's no repair of tissue.
Fucking dyels
>>37924826
There isn't much science into hot / cold shower.
But a lot of broScience!
I take cold shower only after sauna. Because otherwise i would feel as a poor man who can't afford hot water...
>>37925244
Completely debunked. That was the reason cryotherapy became so popular for a good while but it turns out reducing inflammation and swelling only reduces symptoms (short term soreness ect.) and actually impedes recovery and muscle growth.
>>37924826
the most important benefit is the extra calories you burn from shivering.
>>37925085
Why is there a besides? You listed 2 benefits already faggot
>>37925232
>discipline
hahahahahahahahahaha
>>37927294
being soothed isnt a benefit/cold showers also clean you
Its a meme you dummy.
>>37927317
How is being soothed not a benefit? It's a positive outcome of a certain choice. That's a benefit.
Aren't cold showers good for your CNS? Thought they talked about this on Fight Science.
>>37927357
cold showers can be soothing
>>37927378
Yes they can be faggot
>>37927373
Oh then it must be true!
>>37927357
choice of being a pussy
>>37924826
One thing they do is boost my cold tolerance so I like them for that.
With it being summer and humid as fuck now though it's not so immediate. Once winter rolls around though I'll do them more often.
>>37927435
Drop the attitude fuck boy.
>>37927468
No you
>>37924826
A whole fucking meme.
>>37927311
ahahahhahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha alrightey, okay brah you get me on that one. Haha, dang what a dumb shit!!!! Gomen, gomen bro-chan. Itsakoybyame-arino!
>>37927430
don't take that tone with me
It improved my posture a bit. The cold water made me stand up straight and I realized how awful my posture and body language still is. My skin might be a bit less dry, too.
>>37924826
Started cold showers last year since then my acne has gone away.
My anxiety has lessened, I've made mental gains and my dick has grown 12 inches
Of course it's a meme
>>37924826
Seems to help my skin, maybe my hair a little too, but that's more likely due to starting no poo around the same time.
Hot to cold is good for circulation, and circulation is good for all sorts of shit.
