Scottish Shower

A good way to prove it, is by starting a cold, extremely short bath to catch the normal process. Try a simple 30-second rinse at a cooler temperature than normal at the end of your bath. Increase the duration by 30 seconds and lower the temperature slightly after each shower. Once you have reached a few minutes of completely cool water, you will have given yourself a proper Scottish bath and you will be ready to indulge in cold showers, always if you want to. A cold bath will make you a healthier person.

Scottish Shower Benefits:

• Better hair and skin – Cold water strengthens your skin and narrows your blood vessels. This reduces the pores, swelling and dark circles under the eyes. With cold water, your hair shines and looks healthier because it flattens your hair follicles.
• Strong immune system – After a cold shower, your body reacts to temperature change by trying to heat it. The metabolic rate increases and the body activates the natural defense system against viruses with a rapid release of white blood cells. The body stimulates antibodies when exposed to cold water for short periods of time.
• Weight Loss – According to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2009, it was found that the participant had the potential to lose up to 9 kg of additional fat per year simply by taking cold showers.
