I have been taking cold showers regularly and they definitely wake me up and boost my mood, but I'm curious what's the biggest benefit others have noticed from them?
 
I used to do it for mental reasons, I believed that this and many other things make you more hardcore tough/prepared to survive in harsh conditions. Now I am spoiled and prefer hottub!
 
Cold showers have removed caffeine and nicotine for me.

The same sort of hit but all natural.

Hell yeah.
 
It's a good jumpstart to the day, even for colder mornings (within reason). Could just be placebo but damn that it shake the dust off of good sleep.
 
i don't hate myself so much, it's almost winter here, I prefer to burn my ass in hot water, it also has benefits
I like burning my ass, too, with hot showers now but when i was younger, i used to take cold showers early morning and i used to love them.

I used to do ice baths, and they were great, but the logistics are a pain in the ass.

Unless you have an ice machine, you're constantly filling big bottles with water, freezing them, throwing them into the bath, then repeating the whole process over and over again. On top of that, you need to fill the tub, clean it, change the water, and deal with all that nonsense first thing in the morning.

Cold showers are definitely easier, but they never have the same effect as a proper ice bath.

The downside is that all this cold exposure puts a lot of stress on the body. You might feel amazing, but that feeling comes after you put a lot of stress on your nervous system, and that stress is what ages people.

Wim Hof looked +60 when he was 40 years old. It is because of the cold-induced stress.

Really , but Celebrities taking ice bath and makes feel like healthly benefits.
 
I stopped it, and started to smoke. Evrything start getting better in business. Sport, natural food, self-development is waste of time and energy. If your business is going well - you dont need these things
 
I tried cold showers and realized that I already have enough misery in my life. There's no need to add to it.

I dont think so
First thing that everyone notices is an increase in their mental discipline and stress resistance
Energy boost works for a little while, but adaptation effect works much longer than the initial boost
yes
I used to take cold showers, and yeah, they helped for a little while. It's basically just a signal to the brain. Nothing more than that. Now I prefer good sleep and dietary supplements.
good bro
 
I take cold plunges a few times per month, mainly to become comfortable with discomfort.
