There is a lot of talk about showering - and the benefits of it being hot or cold.
My local gym has one shower head that is cold - I admit that I prefer the hot ones though.
Bur which is better - or do they both have their uses: This comes from a website, but I am not too sure about a couple of the claims - in particular the cold.
A Hot Shower
Relaxes the muscles
Lowers Body tension
Can help alleviate migraines
Reduces swelling
Reduces anxiety - through relaxation
Acts as a nasal decongestant
Removes toxins from the skin
Opens pores while cleaning
Good to do at night
A Cold Shower
Stimulates the immune system
Increases alertness (well it would certainly wake me up)
Can help prevent colds (I thought a cold was down to germs)
Anti-depression hormones
Accelerates metabolism
Frees up the mind
Tightens the skin
Reduce hair loss (this is a strange one)
Good to do in the morning
