Dream- Bathing with warm water can indeed soothe the body and relieve muscle pain after exercise, it is important to remember that bathing with cold water can also provide similar benefits.
Bathing with cold water not only provides a refreshing sensation, but also has a number of proven health benefits. Research shows that taking cold showers can help alleviate symptoms of depression, overcome insomnia, and improve sleep quality.
"So, making it the right choice besides taking a hot shower. Not only that, taking a cold shower also has other incredible benefits. Curious about what the benefits are? Check out the following explanation, Dream friends."
To experience the benefits of cold showers, one way you can try is by immersing your body in cold water. This has been proven to be beneficial as a relaxation technique. Majdoline Jayoushe, a specialist in Internal Medicine, suggests taking cold water baths by swimming in an unheated pool and using only cold water.
"Taking cold showers provides benefits such as reducing inflammation and swelling, chronic pain in joints and muscles, improving the immune system, metabolism, and maintaining a healthy weight," said Jayoushe.
In addition, cold showers can also increase insulin sensitivity, which can ultimately reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes and help fight symptoms of depression. Cold showers can divert the brain's focus from negative thoughts to the sensation of cold. The body's response to cold water can trigger the release of stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol. This is balanced by an increase in "feel-good" hormones such as dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins after the skin adapts. Thus, providing a feeling of relaxation and happiness.
Louisa Nicola, a Neurophysiologist, added that taking cold showers also brings benefits for skincare such as tightening pores, reducing excessive oil production, and improving overall skin health.
To take a cold shower, Jayoushe provides practical advice by adjusting the water faucet slowly from hot to cold until reaching a comfortable temperature. After that, it is recommended to take a deep breath and stand under the shower so that the water flows evenly throughout the body.
Ideally, the water temperature for taking a cold shower should be less than 15°C. Experts recommend taking cold showers in the afternoon or evening to maximize the benefits. Considering the body's sensitivity to cold is higher in the morning when the core body temperature is at its lowest point.
The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any HTML tags: "A study in the Netherlands in 2016 showed that taking a cold shower for 30-90 seconds can reduce the risk of getting sick by 29% compared to those who do not take cold showers at all."
Jayoushe expresses.
Taking a cold shower can cause some side effects that need to be taken into account. Jayoushe explains that prolonged exposure to cold temperatures, especially for more than 15 minutes, can increase the risk of hypothermia, which can damage nerves and cause serious injuries. Nicola advises caution when taking cold showers for those with cardiovascular conditions, hypertension, or other heart problems.
This also applies to elderly patients with uncontrolled heart conditions and high blood pressure. People with Raynaud's disease, asthma sufferers, those with extreme cold sensitivity, and circulation problems should avoid exposure to cold temperatures.
