Pivotal Chiropractic Shares the Shocking Benefits of Cold Showers

ANN ARBOR, Mich. - July 10, 2024 - PRLog -- Are you looking for easy tweaks to improve your overall wellbeing?

Have you noticed that your skin or hair feel dry after a hot shower?
If you're tuned into the fitness world, you may have been recently hearing about the benefits of cold plunges: reduced inflammation, improved immune system, improved sleep, better mood, etc. Well, you can get very similar benefits by simply taking a cold shower!

To enjoy a boost to your health and energy that lasts all day, start off with hot water and slowly adjust the temperature until it's cold but tolerable. Spend at least five minutes under the water before getting out.

Here are three powerful health benefits that come from taking a cold shower:

Increased Energy
Stepping into a cold shower instantly ramps up your heart rate, and the rush of blood through your body will quickly wake you up. You might even find that a few minutes under cold water is just as effective as a piping hot cup of coffee.

Natural Depression Treatment
Research from the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine revealed that short, cold showers can activate the "blue spot" in a person's brain. This area is the brain's main source of nor-adrenaline, a feel-good chemical known for relieving feelings of depression.

Healthy Skin and Hair
Does your hair or skin feel extra dry after a hot shower? Hot water strips moisture from your skin and hair almost instantly. To avoid moisture loss, turn down the temperature when you jump in the shower—your hair and skin will look and feel a lot better in the long run.
