    Showering and staying clean is very important for a humans health. It is vital that we stay clean in order to protect ourselves from diseases and infections. It is entirely normal that people shower every day. But there are very few people who opt to take cold showers. Despite their benefits, most people decide to take showers with hot water.

    Taking a cold shower does more than just make you clean. For starters, it will surely wake you up. Waking up in the morning can be a challenge, and I find many people come so school tired and groggy. That’s where cold showers come into play. When the frigid water hits you, your body immediately wakes up. It is essentially an energy shot that gets you ready to start your day.

    The second reason cold showers are beneficial is that the uncomfortable condition forces you metabolism to start operation despite no food being in your system. This means that by the time food enters your system, your metabolism is already in full swing, digesting food quicker. This promotes healthy weight loss and is a great start for someone trying to lose weight.

    The third reason that cold showers are better for you is that they promote healthy skin. When you take a hot shower, the warm water dries out your skin. But with a cold shower, your skin gets rejuvenated. The cold water acts as lotion and moisturizes your skin. It is for these reasons that cold showers are better for you.
