I’m serious. What do you have to lose? Literally nothing. You’ll probably GAIN time because you’ll take showers quicker. Heat accelerates aging so taking cold showers prevents that, and the cold will burn some calories and the mild shock will help your mental state.

It’s fine to stress your body with cold showers. It makes me feel better. Jfl if you are scared of some mild stress on your body

I agree don’t use soap or any thing on your body
 
Cold showers increase cortisol which makes you age faster

Cold showers offer many benefits, including increasing endorphins, improving metabolism, and enhancing circulation. They may also help fight off common illnesses, like colds and flus.
Cold showers are any showers with a water temperature below 70°F. They may have health benefits. Water therapy (also called hydrotherapy) has been used for centuries to take advantage of our body’s tendency to adapt to harsher conditions. As a result, our bodies become more resistant to stress.

Cold showers are not a main source of treatment for any condition, but they may help improve symptom relief and general well-being. Check out the benefits of a cold shower below.

Increases endorphins​

Depression affects at least 10 percent of American adults, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Many drugs treat depression, depending on the severity or duration of symptoms. One holistic method of treatment that’s gaining popularity is hydrotherapy. Taking a cold shower for up to 5 minutes, 2 to 3 times per week, was shown to help relieve symptoms of depression in a clinical trial.
For people with depression, cold showers can work as a kind of gentle electroshock therapy. The cold water sends many electrical impulses to your brain. They jolt your system to increase alertness, clarity, and energy levels. Endorphins, which are sometimes called happiness hormones, are also released. This effect leads to feelings of well-being and optimism.


Helps improve metabolism​

White fat is the fat we associate with conditions such as obesity and heart disease, but we are all born with brown fat. Researchers have found that brown fat plays an important role in adult health. Healthy levels of brown fat also indicate that white fat will be at a healthy level. And brown fat is activated by exposure to cold temperature.
People that are obese can’t simply start taking cold showers to lose weight without changing other lifestyle habits. But taking a cold shower 2 or 3 times per week may contribute to increased metabolism. It may help fight obesity over time. The researchTrusted Source about how exactly cold showers help people lose weight is unclear. Still, it does show that cold water can even out certain hormone levels and heal the gastrointestinal system. These effects may add to the cold shower’s ability to lead to weight loss.

Improves circulation​

It can feel uncomfortable to immerse our bodies in cold water, but it can also be invigorating. That’s because water that’s colder than our natural body temperature causes the body to work slightly harder to maintain its core temperature. When taken regularly, cold showers can make our circulatory system more efficient. Some people also report that their skin looks better as a result of cold showers, probably because of better circulation.
Athletes have known this benefit for years, even if we have only recently seen data that supports cold water for healing after a sport injury. It’s the same reason that ice brings down inflammation when we bruise or tear a muscle. By bringing the temperature of an area of the body down, we speed up the delivery of warmer, freshly oxygenated blood to that area. And that speeds up recovery time. Some people may benefit from cold showers as a way to help their blood move through their body more quickly. These include people with poor circulation, high blood pressure, and diabetes.

Helps fight off common illnesses​

Our bodies are designed to become resistant to the elements we are exposed to. For example, leukocytes help fight infection in the body. The shock of cold water in the bloodstream stimulates leukocytes. This means that taking cold showers can help your resistance to common illnesses, like colds and the flu.
One studyTrusted Source even indicated that cold showers could make the body more resistant to certain types of cancer. And a clinical trialTrusted Source in the Netherlands showed that people who took cold showers called out of work less.
People that are preparing for surgery or other disease treatment that could lead to decreased immunity might want to start taking cold showers in preparation.

Limits and risks​

Cold showers are not a magical cure-all for any condition. They should be used as a supplement to traditional treatments, but not as a replacement.
Please remember that people taking medication for their mental health should not stop their drugs abruptly in favor of any alternative treatment. People with long-term clinical depression or a diagnosis of bipolar or borderline personality conditions should not use cold showers as a replacement for what their doctor has prescribed under any circumstances.
If you’re feeling sick, have recently been released from the hospital, or are otherwise immune-compromised, wait to try out cold showers. While the cold shower habit is beneficial for most people, the habit takes some getting used to. The body may be taxed by the process of getting used to it.

ADVERTISING

Outlook​

The ideal way to take a cold shower is to ease in to the habit.
Start by slowly lowering the temperature at the end of a usual shower. Get the water cold enough that you start to feel uncomfortable. Then, stay underneath the water for 2 or 3 minutes. Breathing deeply will help decrease your discomfort in your mind. The next time you try this exercise, make the water slightly colder. Try to last for another minute or two in the colder water. After performing this activity 7 to 10 times, you’ll find that you might even look forward to turning the hot water down.

Pussies. Exposure to cold water is natural. Hunter gatherers got rained on, swam in cold waters

Hot showers are unnatural, the water should be the same temperature as your environment

Yes you re more alert because your body thinks you re gonna die of hypothermia so it uses up every single resource in your body to survive. You're depleting yourself.

Same as an early teen I would take cold showers and expose my self to the cold I guess as a way to feel something due to my then horrible gut microbiome.
But clearly putting stress on your body prevents it from focusing on growth.
 
It’s fine to stress your body with cold showers. It makes me feel better. Jfl if you are scared of some mild stress on your body

I agree don’t use soap or any thing on your body
