You should try it, really, it’s quite invigorating! Here’s why…
- Short term cold exposure leads to increased metabolic rate and increased use of fat as a fuel.
- Activate brown fat cells – these are the fat cells which burn other fat cells.
- Cold water improves your immunity.
- Depression – Studies have shown 2-3 minute showers at 20 degrees Celsius to be an effective treatment for depression. I certainly feel alive after these cold showers!
