Cold or hot showers?

>james bond shower
I do this and didn’t realize it was a thing

Wash the skin and hair with warm water first, then a cold shower for health and discipline benefits.

There's no way a cold shower is more relaxing than an hot one. Cold exposure triggers adrenaline, which is the reason it is claimed to be "energizing" but this is at the expense of detrimental effects from cortisol. And there is practicly nothing more relaxing than an hot shower, which is often why we have those "shower thoughts", when the body is completely relaxed we think more clearly and more creatively.

Cool shower. It’s how ancient tribal humans did it.

So before our intelligence and creativity increased exponentially ? Gotcha.

Checked, and great point. Not a lot of hot showers in nature.

Ancient tribal humans were virtually the same as us genetically, if not even superior since nowadays even the genetic lottery losers can survive thanks to modern medicine and a soft society. Most experts agree that cavemen were probably stronger and smarter on average than the current human.

Basically the best way to do this is take a long hot shower to increase body temperature and relax, and finish with 30 seconds of cold to close off pores and making your hair look better.

Cold always

>genetically

Yes, the only thing that matters. Not the environment, not the culture and mindsets. If you ever read an history book, you would have noticed that most of the greatest inventors, artists and philosophers were after we started cooking meat and eat less of it, and massively increased carbs intake (literally brain food). But yeah, let's live like the people whose whole life were based on killing and fucking.

Cold in summer, hot in winter

>using ancient tribal humans as an example to convince people why cold showers are better
You may as well just use polar bears to explain why cold showers are better.

How does hot water kill bacteria you fucking idiot?

there is also not a lot of civil societies in nature. should we do the same?

My great grandpa used to do this. He swore it made his heart stronger to shock himself with cold water after a hot shower.

He lived to be pretty old and died cause he drank too much so it probably helped?

Really?

Hypothyroidism is a major cause of bacterial/microbial infection since the body is chronically cold.

That why I store milk in the oven.

So your proof is that it increases feminity in women? Too bad they're attracted to masculinity.

What?!? Sure....

Bend over milkboy.

How cold do you cold shower anons have it? Like, people who have warm showers don't put it all the way to hot and I doubt you cold anons do it either, because that's madman.

So what is it, just not warm, marginally cold or freezing cold?

For me it's just colder than lukewarm because my water system sucks ass, I can't get it to be ice cold although I think that's preferable

Will milk increase the womens milkers? Asking for my mum

What a shit movie

I think that's from a movie

A movie is a movie. What does it mean to be human?

Having a taste

Taste is taste.

Sure, though at her age it also increases breast cancer risks. Could also make her drink from plastic bottles, eat heated meals in plastic containers and take contraceptive pills.

Bloodborne is fucking awesome

No it isnt you child
>>/v/

I wouldn't call cold showers relaxing.

redditcha

XD UPBOATED

It certainly didn't harm i guess. It's just one case but that's enough for me to not worry about doing that and to continue to. I smoke a lot and drink sometimes a lot so i hope this helps

Hot to clean dirt and poo, then cold. Apply industrial fan to genital area for cooling affect.

Here's my routine
>Turn on Hot tap
>Stick only head under while water is cold
>As water heats up turn cold on to balance it out
>Get water temp to just below warm
>Wash hair
>Lower shower head
>Decrease cold water until shower is hot
>Give the rest of my body a good clean, soap every 3rd day or so
>Clean foreskin
>Clean butt hole
>End shower

>Cold shower
>"Discipline training"
What the fuck do you fags honestly mean by this? Why would I ever need to prepare to be exposed to cold water in my future and what does it have to do with fitness? Why in OP's post do hot showers look like they actually benefit you but all the bullet points under cold showers are memes?

Do whatever feels better at the time. Hot day outside? Cold shower. You feel like upping the thermostat? Hot shower.

jfc you guys complicate everthing

I feel like fucking your mum, raw

Your grandfather died from overhydration?

Take freezing showers where your body does the weird shiver and stops breathing for two seconds until you can maintain a full erection and jerk off to completion under the torrent of freezing water.

yeah it's called drowning you stupid piece of shit

Not Bloodborne though

Morning - hot then cold if I need to wake up, post workout - cold

Is there any secret to stopping sweating after a post workout shower? I don't want to sit around sweaty for an hour and I don't want to stand in the shower for an hour either. Even if I take freezing cold showers I start sweating as soon as I get out again.

>hot wash
>cold rinse

i didnt mention that whatever nerd loser shit you're talking about.

to kill the bacteria on your skin with hot water you'd have to be using close to 70-80c water which would scald you. Scrubbing removes the bacteria, not heat.

Hot when I'm getting ready for work in the morning, cold after a workout in the evening

Scottish shower. Start hot, end cold. Open up the skin woth hot water, cleaning your body. End with cold to close pores again and to become alert from cold water

used to take hot showers. My skin became reddish and acne appeared all the time, both on face and back and chest.

Now I only take cold shower, skin is much better.

You dont drink when drowning dickhead.

this

it's not as simple as one or the other. i have fair skin. i start out with warm water to open pores. then i turn it off and uses products. then i turn it on again as slightly cold water to rinse.

Don't fucking mog me in a shower thread cunt

>Kills bacteria on skin
Doesnt that require min 90 C degrees

Are you stupid? 3 different categories of bacteria. 2 of them killed by heat starting at 38° Celsius. Other typ loves heat and is probably in spore state at this temperatur. Every bacteria on earth and probably nearer space works this way. Yepp some bacteria here are actualy not from earth in the first place. Spores are a sturdy hell of a condition to be in. Learn about denaturisation.

>and died at 26

kek mogged

>He dosn't take 100° pure steam showers

oh didn't know this mate thanks, it's just growing up bacteria growing more in hot areas was seen as fact

cringe

>our ancient ancestors lived life the way it was supposed to be lived
Adapting to shitty conditions with lower survival rate isnt what you think it is. Im sure your ancestors would slap your mug for romanticizing it.

Aren't hot showers really bad for your skin?
I find I have to moisturise more after them but idk if it's just my imagination.

Cold shower as soon as I get up in the morning and hot shower just before I go to bed at night. That shock to the system first thing in the morning gives me a rush, like cocaine. Which I used to be addicted to. And overdosed on. My friends put me in a cold shower while waiting for an ambulance. I'm starting to make a connection here. God I miss cocaine.

first hot shower with soap, after that a couple minutes of ice cold water

First I start with cold shower to make dem pory pory boiiis extra tight
Then it's hot water to reward them for their effort

you think you've discipline for washing yourself in cold water

do you also feel that you've discipline when you occasionally skip soda to dinner?

are you american?

You're literally a brainlet, please end your life.

Install 2 shower heads and take both at once.
