Red Pill me on cold showers

not sure which benefits are true or not, but i've always seen it as something to train your self-discipline, if you can routinely do something like a cold shower that's not overly comfortable, it means you have greater command over your mind and body.

Thsi

I never feel clean after a cold shower. Wouldn't trade that feeling for any amount of meme science.

cold showers - cringe and bluepilled
scottish showers - based and redpilled

Cold showers outside of 95+ degree weather are a meme

>cleanse your circulatory system
Lord thunderin jesus who buys this shit?

>>Getting horny after the shower (Why lul?)
test booster

>detoxify

Redpill me on Scottish showers

normal shower with hot water where you wash yourself, then you finish it off with cold water

Pussy version

in one week i did it for one year (coldest water possible) and recognized no benefits at all except for mirror and windows not being foggy.

>reduces blood pressure
My resting blood pressure is already around 110

enjoy going bald i guess lol

Holy shit, one mention of cold showers and all these shills come out of the woodwork. I think you're on to something OP

Cold-showers are just an outgrowth of the broscience meme "if it hurts it make you strong".

Your cortisol levels will go through the roof. Then your hair greys/falls out if you do it long enough

Is that why top level athletes take ice baths?

Yeah, like (((rats))) out of their holes

BTFO'd

My great grandfather always took cold showers, he still has his hair perfectly intact, and he's 100 years-old still walking around town to this day.

Muscles regenerate faster in cold, harsh environment. Its proven and its the only reason why cold showers are good for you.

>my anecdotal case disproves established science
very big brained post

You might want to read up on correlation vs causation

>toxins

Why the fuck would cold showers raise my cortisol levels?

the shock of the cold water causes a SNS response, causing cortisol to be released

I'd bet the longer term reaction is for your head to grow more hair to adjust to the cold.

start taking cold showers for a few months and report back to us if you got thicker hair

Okay but I'm not sure how much thicker my hair can get.

A cold shower is like doing stationary cardio.
>lowered body temperature and lowered immune system have been correlated for ever
Point is that it's different when you're suddenly cold due to cold water. In which your body responds by putting more emphasis on defense mechanisms and increasing body heat using your own adipose tissue.
>how, it's taking blood away from the extreme ties
Because of your increase heart rate and breathing = more oxygen in blood(you're supposed to control you're breathing and not succumb to the extreme urge to hyperventilate). Overall, you end up taking in a lot of air. You even feel light headed by the end of it and it's an immediately noticeable effect that you can try for yourself.

Contracting muscle is really just another blood flow thing, so not necessary.
The toxins shit is probably horseshit, no idea how that would work. You're already showering as it is lol.

>blood pressure
Blood pressure shoots up suddenly during cold shower, then lowers significantly after. Like cardio

>strengthens nervous system
Exaggerated way of saying it conditions you. It conditions you to the cold, specifically. So you tolerate cold better, how significant this bonus is to you depends on where you live.

There is a lot of exaggeration to cold showers. The reason to take them should be more to avoid the negative effects of HOT showers, and it's a better alternative to coffee to wake your ass up.
One thing I never felt after a cold shower was sleepy.

>eliminates toxins
into the trash it goes

Cold showers are MUCH better for your scalp and hair than hot so if anything, your hair will stay looking younger.

Oh yeah, and crystals balance my chakra

>Eliminates Toxins
>Detoxify your organs
its always a blast reading these idiotic memes as a chemist "Toxins". "Eliminate" "Toxins" hahaaaaaaaaa god save us

The good old "How to raise your cortisol levels" meme

>he doesn't balance crystals on his chakra
youre fucked dude. I do 5xF crystal chakra balances in the cold shower while sleeping (no pillow or bed) natch. all while vibrating my tongue at 5000rpm on the roof of my mouth and speeding up time so as to NOFAP for longer periods of time than humanly possible.

for whatever reason my benchpress is still 25kg though

Don't forget your hippie vitamins and kale super foods.

No vitamins a re a jewish led conspiracy to kill my gains personally. Eating my own cum while watching Jordan petersen videos (And donating) is 100% redpilled though

>if you do this uncomfortable thing every day

you can tell these are kids. Otherwise, they would already have jobs and not worry about being uncomfortable nearly every day

>its proven
is it though? I think I even heard coaches of top level athletes saying they don't really know what the ice baths do but it seems like it helps

>everyone around me is saying I am wrong
>it is them who are in delusion

Start with a warm shower, heat it up in the middle, end with cold.

Not for any of the bullshit in your OP, it's how you get clean. Open your pores, get rid of the dirt, tighten them up again. That's all.

>implying the Jewish Lizard Elite arent spending millions of man hours shilling against cold shower on 4channel.org to goblin your gains

>cleanse
>detoxify
>eliminate toxins
It's like this is a checklist of pseudoscience bullshit to watch out for in infographics

such funny. makes everyone laugh when jew is typed out

Yup. When you have a career and a family to support, you come to appreciate that living in civilization gives you the luxury of hot water.

>cleanse
>detoxify

I take cold showers, but that image is bullshit

I do this all the time. Based af

No, that's to stop the negative affects of inflammation. Are you a top athlete, user?

Who are they shilling for? The gas companies? Fucking retards who believe in shills

Based answer. All these skincare threads and no one ever thinks about opening and closing their pores.

Fuck all these "benefits." Cold showers wake you up better than a hot shower for some nice early morning lifting.

and this after 1yr+ of a strictly showering only in cold water

I do sunrise surfing in 50-60 degree water. Similar to a cold shower, and it makes me feel so good.

stay cucked showerboi
bathing in icy streams grew my dick by two inches

All the nibbas who hate on this are pussies whomst'd've can not stand the cold, but only bathe in super warm water with rubber ducks

Don't worry, you'll understand when you're older.

Luxury makes you weak

I live in a tropical shithole so the benefits for me are refreshing and I stop sweating for about 3 minutes. I haven't used hot water in years - I don't even know if my hot water heater works anymore.

>Eliminates toxins
Every time I see this shit I disregard any information that it comes with.
>HURR DURR ITS GOOD, TOXINS GO AWAY
What are toxins exactly? What toxins get removed? Can you give me names of the chemical compounds?

>What are toxins exactly?

Faggotry Toxins

>redpill me on cold showers

Cold showers are objectively better for you, and I can prove it.

Cold showers feel like absolute shit. They ruin your fucking mood, make you feel cold, you want to be done with it as fast as possible and don't feel clean afterwards. That doesn't mean what you think it means.

Truly, it means that your day will not get lower than that, your day gets progressively better, it won't get worse than the shitty fucinking cold shower you had in the morning. The anger that it brings will make you grateful about everything else. You will save money on water and gas or electricity, and waste less time on it. You won't feel clean, even though you are as clean as you would be after a hot shower, it reminds you that nothing, not even yourself, is ever enough and you will constantly desire being nearer perfection.

From the cold shower, you shall rise, like a penguin phoenix that dives too low.

>new blood
What happens to the old blood? Do cold showers make you shit blood or something?

t. sissy ass gain goblin

take cold showers after exercices and your feel high and happy
also it's better for recovery

Usually old blood is metabilized I think.

Just take lukewarm showers.
>not super uncomfortable
>not so comfortable that you stay in to long
>doesn't dry out skin like a hot shower

Everybody posting up until now is talking out of his ass.

The short answer:
Yes, it objectively has health benefits.

>detoxifies
>eliminates toxins
>destroys poison
>ruins everything toxic in your body
>bane of bane
>toxins don't stand a chance
>removes toxicity

>Do cold showers make you shit blood or something?

>Such people post on Jow Forums and give you health advise

Just proving my point kek
(checked)
I'm not a top tier athlete. Should I stop lifting? They do that too, it's obviously not for plebs like me
Yes, so why shouldn't I take them after lifting? I'm not supporting "detox ur body" shit, but they have to be better for you than warm showers that dry out your skin, strip your hair of oil, and don't help muscle recovery

>Red Pill me on cold showers
It's yet another meme fad. Most claims are flimsy at best. Yes, there are some measured health benefits, but they're pretty much imperceptible.

When I was younger and more impressionable, I did try ice cold showers for a year. The change you feel is placebo effect, which will wear off in time.

Anything that has the words "detox" attached to them and isn't dialisis can be safely assumed to be snake oil.

What happens to the old blood

Ok retard then explain how my grandparents AND great grandparents would take cold showers and looked great for their age

Did cold showers for 2 years straight for the lulz, literally never noticed any effects, like I feel the exact same now that I've gone back again to warm showers

And yet you can’t actually dispute it with real facts. Kill yourself tranny
