New Experiment

So I have been doing a lot of studying lately on the benefits of taking cold showers in the morning. When I first read this concept I thought that there was no way that I could do it. I love my hot showers. The listed benefits eventuall won out and I tried it. At first I could only do 15 seconds and I thought that was enough because I could say that I was at least doing it. Then I decided to take it a step further and do it for real. So now I take a 3 minute cold shower every morning. The benefits are supposed to be healthy hair and skin, increased circulation, and increased metabalism. The cold water hits your skin which makes your blood rush to your skin. The immediate rush of blood is said to help with depression as well as increasing brain stimulation. I also massage almond oil into my skin while I am showering. Not only does it distract from the intense cold but it is great for my skin. I am not sure yet how many of these positive results I am receiving yet but I can tell you that I now am much happier in the mornings, so that's one good thing!!!
