Take cold showers

"That’s because water that’s colder than our natural body temperature causes the body to work slightly harder to maintain its core temperature"

Explain your reasoning that cold ages you

Your body panicks when you get into the cold shower and produces cortisol

The fact that it increases metabolism is proof enough. It means your body is eating itself to keep up.

Animals that undergo daily torpor include birds (even tiny hummingbirds, notably Cypselomorphae)[2][3] and some mammals, including many marsupial species,[4][5] rodent species (such as MICE), and bats.

Bro just go outside with minimal clothes, sleep for 8h naked with no bed cover then your body will work to heat you.

So you mean autophagy? Autophagy is anti aging.

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.

100% right. Skin + anti-aging yes but ESPECIALLY for brain health. Cold showers are a god's gift but people don't want to understand because they are too afraid to suffer.

Autophagy is when you abstain from eating to eat yourself instead. When you eat you raise insulin which ages you. Here you have to eat to compensate what you lost in the cold shower. So you still raise the insulin. So you actually have to eat more. So you age more.

Autophagy is increased when you don’t eat but it’s always occurring at some degree. Other factors besides food can influence autophagy. You said your body “is eating itself” which is what autophagy is. Idk if cold induced autophagy or not.

The mice that were put in the cold puddle 4 hours daily ate 44% more calories yet lived slightly longer than controls.

cold showers is hormetic stress, you stress your body for some minutes for benefits. Taking a cold plunge /shower for 5 minutes shoudn't be detrimental for your body . For 2 months I've beedn doing it , if you are tired you can fight it off for a bit , in the morning it wakes you up at times more than caffeine . Mild stressors are good , look at sauna ,the same thing .

Taking faster breaths it is a good sign , but you can also control the breath. At most it is slightly uncomfortable , nowhere near suffering when you get used to it.

Unless you have heart problems, or certain health problems it is all good.

What to you gain??

Absolutely nothing

People that implement no hot water in there showers are stinky wierdos
Dirt is soluble and goes away with hot soapy water not cold water that will close the poors

Based, there is no one thing that stands out but there are so many small benifits to cold showers that add up, i started taking warm/hot showers for a little while but went back to cold because it’s so much better. Hair, skin, ets… as well as lots of health benifits.
