Have you ever heard about taking a cold shower? All the benefits? It helps to close up your pores. Also, after 30 minutes of shaking in a cold shower you burn calories. Although it's very unpleasant (especially in the winter), it's very beneficial. I know very little about it and wish to know more. What are all the benefits of a cold shower? What do you think of cold showers?

well, i`m habing cold shower almost every day, in the summer, when i`m going to the pool. I`m not getiing ill or something like that, but i can`t stay more than 5 minutes, and in that time, i get in with arms, then with my feets... you need to get under the shower slowly, and stay just for a couple of seconds, until your body will be cold as the water, and then you can stay even minutes. I guarantee that in summer you will not get any ill if you stay just 5 minutes under a cold shower.

this ms be the case, but while your in the shower freezing you are raising your risks of getting arthritst. Also couldn't you get sick, you would have to be really crazy just to do that.
