How Cold Showers Helped Reduce My Anxiety
Massive results after only 14 days
Firstly, let’s make it clear that I’m a ‘shower in the evening’ type of person.
I never have the energy nor motivation to shower in the morning. However, the evening is also when I typically feel the most anxious, so showering is often something I don’t really want to do.
Secondly, I can’t be the only one who always thought that the people splashing cold water on their faces in movies to calm down seemed unrealistic. Surely that’s not a thing that people do, right? No one I’ve ever known does that when they feel stressed or anxious.
But now, after reading a lot about the benefits of cold showers and trying it for myself, I think I understand how some cold water could help us relax.
The benefits of cold showers
There are many articles, studies, and research papers on why cold showers are beneficial to our overall health, so I won’t go into too much detail.
But multiple studies support the fact that our bodies love cold water. Here are a few benefits to chilly showers:
- Improved mood
- Reduces anxiety, depression, and stress
- Increased energy levels
