I hate cold showers ... I've only taken them when the water heater is broke, or when I'm in a hurry and someone else in my house used all the hot water available and I just can't wait for it to warm back up ... I don't care how many benefits a cold shower is supposed to have... The only cold liquid I like is one that I want to drink ... not get dunked into...



Aside from the physical benefits, cold showers could have mental health benefits too. There is a school of thought that cold water immersion causes increased mental alertness due to the stimulation of the previously mentioned fight-or-flight response. In older adults, cold water applied to the face and neck has been shown to improve brain function.
