Cold showers really work

[Acia]

hmm wtf i've never heard of this before.
i might try it but i think its all placebo.

 

[Aulig]

I get cold showers quite often because of the humidity, and trust me, there ain't anything special about it. But then again I'm not looking for any benefits so I don't get the ye olde placebo effect.

Whats bad about the placebo effect though

You might need a psychiatric evaluation.

i know this is about cold showers....
but i thought if you scale it up to maybe an icebath?

True that pal that first shock is always present

When you live in the desert, the cold showers are still hot showers.

 

[blogzandstuff]

I’ve often thought about it. But hot showers are just so nice

Especially in Scotland lol! Well the whole UK come to think of it

 

[contentcreators]

Wow, I had no idea cold showers could have so many health benefits!

I just can't do it though, I hate them! How long does it take to get used to doing it?

I did it for a few motnhs and more of a life changing thing, to me was a way to gain tons of willpower to be able to cut time wasting habits and unhealthy habits. For example League of Legends and alcoholism now I only drink during weekends and dont play LOL anymore since I have quite an addictive personality and these things do no good to me.

I will probably restart those cold showers whenever I go back to college in september.

One thing you should definately try is No-fap, I know there is a lot of bshit around it. But again it does develop a lot of willpower and it decreases the amount of dopamine released each day which increases your desire to do things that you would never thought of doing such as approaching girls that you wouldn't if you were releasing ez dopamine every single day by fapping hard. You will also notice a increase in your self esteem, at least I did

heres my trick for getting the effects of a cold shower + the pleasure of a hot shower:

take a regular hot shower. then at the end stick your head under cold water. duno the health effects if any, but i usually feel too relaxed after a hot shower, so the cold dunk is a way to wake up instantly

Thats the other way although it does not have the same effects on your willpower, it is healthy though since it stimulates circulation and each type has differents positive effects on your body.

That's the blackhat version. If you want full benefits then go the white hat way.

 

[Mediawiz]

Anyone else take cold showers?

Yes, always start with warm and end always ice cold. Sometimes I do 30 sec cold, 30 sec warm and ending with 30 sec cold.

it is my black hat outlet since i work at a white hat agency

Instead of full cold showers, I start with hot water and decrease the temperature until the water becomes cold and stay under the shower during the last 2/3 minutes.

 

[super11]

Cold shower? As in ice-cold shower or just regular cold tap water shower?

All the benefits mentioned I guess are for ice cold water and not the routine cold tap water (which I bath everyday)
