First Cold Shower

So I'm going to take my first cold shower.
What to expect? How cold do I have it?

Once you submerge your body under the stream fully you get used to it. The trick is to get your back wet asap. Your back is the most sensitive to the cold so once that is acclimated the rest of your body is fine.

I find it’s the opposite for me. I ease myself into it by going in back first.

That's what I meant you senseless dunderpate. Get your back wet asap and the rest of your body should be fine.

All the way cold pussy

Meme. Cold showers ruin your immune system, that's why people say they don't get sick anymore, not because they are stronger, but because their immune system shut down

You said “your back is most sensitive to the cold” implying the rest of your body is numb to it.

That sentence seems like a contradiction. They don't get sick because their immune system shut down? If somebody immune system shuts down wont they get sick more often?

That just seems stupid.

No what I meant was that once your back is acclimated to the cold, getting the rest of your body wet is easy by comparison.

Being sick is your immune response to kill the bacteria/virus. Fever/mucus/phlegm/shiver/sweat/coughing are all your immune system fighting.

You will feel a surge of testosterone flow through your veins.

hnnnnggg this is TOP TIER disinformation

No it's not

So basically what you're saying is if you have a weak immune system you can get a cold and not have the symptoms of a cold? Are you really this stupid?

100% cold and just get in. Don’t be a pussy.

The symptoms of a "cold" is your immune system fighting the virus inside your body. If your immune system doesn't work and you don't get these symptoms from the "cold" the virus is just running amok in your body doing damage and not getting stopped. This is very basic biology

I've only taken cold showers the last 2+ weeks and it feels kinda great, especially the first few times. I start my shower with lukewarm water and quickly, but gradually turn it to completely cold. You'll feel your body adapt, so it's not the same as jumping in ice water and imo it feels coldest before you have reached the minimum temp. After your shower, dry up and put on some warm clothes, so your skin can return to normal temperature. There's also that little feeling of accomplishment after you "survived" a fully cold shower..

About the effects, well I definitely feel an improvement in cold tolerance, also I do feel healthier. I have no intention of stopping anytime soon and would recommend you try it out for yourself.

The common cold rhinovirus is harmless and any symptomatic immune response is unnecessary.
When you get more "immune" to the cold it isn't because your immune system is weaker. It's because the virus can't reproduce because the body temperature isn't affected by the cold outside.
In other words cold showers make you not feel as cold.

>having a thread about what to expect from feeling cold water
the absolute state of Jow Forums

I read this and the replies I don't know what to believe anymore

>The common cold rhinovirus is harmless
Not true. It's harmless because the immune system can handle it and fight against it. No immune system means the cold can harm you. This is why AIDS patients who get the cold are treated immediately and swiftly.

>When you get more "immune" to the cold it isn't because your immune system is weaker.
You cannot get immune to virus'. Your immune system just becomes stronger and stronger to fight it quickly, but you still show symptoms because it IS your immune system creating the symptoms.

>It's because the virus can't reproduce because the body temperature
Body temperature does not change unless harmful effects occur. Homeostasis my dude.

>In other words cold showers make you not feel as cold.
Cold showers ruin your immune system and ruin your hormone production.

Just shower in room temp/luke warm water.. eat healthy.. and exercise.. no need to ruin your immune system with cold showers

And how would people with AIDS even know they have the cold if there's no symptoms?

>florida with outdoor above ground water lines
>coldest possible setting on shower is lukewarm

Have it cold.

Expect to forget to breath.

I'm not joking. Just breath and don't hyperventilate. Count 30 breaths and then close the water.

On face and on shoulders is where it really feels cold.

>Don't get sick because immune system shut down
Imagine being this fucking retarded. You'll die if your immune system "shuts down" you absolute imbecile

this. that guy is fucking retarded

OP here. I live in northern Scandinavia. I think I would die if I put it on coldest.

Because they get severe degeneration, get tested for it to confirm, or end up dying

AKA they get sick

reminder folks that there are literal retards on here that are giving advice like cold showers will "shit down the immune system"
t. medical student

Imagine typing this yet not refuting the point lol

You don't die always, you just get severely damaged and harmed like how most vegans are damaged after 5+ years because they don't have a proper immune response due to lack of cholesterol, but htey aren't dead, just severely sick

You are a student, you are nothing

>Imagine typing this yet not refuting the point lol
You didn't even make a point. Only gave out utterly retarded disinfo

and yet you give out utterly retarded disinfo saying cold showers are healthy
