Method of bathing
Start with a warm shower, and ending the last few minutes with cool to cold water. Here are the benefits that you gain by incorporating this practice into your shower routine.
- Better Circulation:
Warm water makes the blood rush to your skin, and cool water makes
the blood rush to your organs. This switching between hot and
cold triggers better circulation in your blood by forcing the
blood to move. It prevents problems as hypertension, hardening
of the arteries, and the appearance of varicose veins. Good circulation
improves the performance of your system and thus help looking
and feeling better.
- Better looking skin:
When you shower with warm water, it opens up your pores. When
you end, it would be best to close your pores and cold water does
just that. It’s good to close your pores after you are all cleaned
up because it will prevent the pores from being easily clogged
by dirt and oil, which causes skin imperfections such as acne.
cold water makes your blood vessels constrict which reduces swelling
and the appearance of dark circles under your eyes (where skin
is at its thinnest). This provides you with a young, healthy glow.
- Healthier hair:
Cold water makes your hair look healthier and shinier. What the
cold water does is that it closes the cuticle which makes the
hair stronger and prevents dirt from easily accumulating within
your scalp. Basically, the same principle with how it closes the
pores of your skin as mentioned above. Stronger hair, it helps
in slowing down overall hair loss.
- Mental benefits:
There are plenty of mental benefits to ending your shower with
cold water. It energizes you and invigorates your entire being
with the essence of life. Give it a try, you will definitely feel
more alive! It can also lift you up if you are feeling a little
down or unmotivated.
