Method of bathing & Uses of taking cold showers

Method of bathing
Start with a warm shower, and ending the last few minutes with cool to cold water. Here are the benefits that you gain by incorporating this practice into your shower routine:


1- Better Circulation
Warm water makes the blood rush to your skin, and cool water makes the blood rush to your organs. This switching between hot and cold triggers better circulation in your blood by forcing the blood to move. it prevents problems as hypertension, hardening of the arteries, and the appearance of varicose veins. Good circulation improves the performance of your system and thus help looking and feeling better.


2- Better looking skin
When you shower with warm water, it opens up your pores. When you end, it would be best to close your pores and cold water does just that. It’s good to close your pores after you are all cleaned up because it will prevent the pores from being easily clogged by dirt and oil, which causes skin imperfections such as acne . cold water makes your blood vessels constrict which reduces swelling and the appearance of dark circles under your eyes (where skin is at its thinnest). This provides you with a young, healthy glow.


3- Healthier hair
Cold water makes your hair look healthier and shinier. What the cold water does is that it closes the cuticle which makes the hair stronger and prevents dirt from easily accumulating within your scalp. Basically, the same principle with how it closes the pores of your skin as mentioned above. Stronger hair,it helps in slowing down overall hair loss.


4- Mental benefits

There are plenty of mental benefits to ending your shower with cold water. it energizes you and invigorates your entire being with the essence of life. Give it a try, you will definitely feel more alive! It can also lift you up if you are feeling a little down or unmotivated.
