JAKARTA - The best thing you can do in the morning is to take care of yourself, mind, and body. By taking a cold shower in the morning, it can really help the body feel fresh again.

Quoted from The Hindustan Times, Thursday, before leaving for work or school, many people choose to take a shower in the morning. However, it must be ensured to bathe in cold water for this extraordinary benefit.

When it switches suddenly from a hot shower to cold water in the morning, it helps stimulate blood cells that can fight infection. It also helps increase overall immunity.

Cold water therapy has health benefits for mental and emotional health. Research shows that people bathing in cold water every morning show a drop in signs of depression. It can also help improve mood and cope with signs of anxiety.

Cold water makes the body enter a defensive mode to maintain the core temperature. This can stimulate the body to increase blood flow. Further increase oxygen circulation and also help muscle recovery after exercise.

When bathing with cold water, the body consumes energy to maintain the core temperature. This leads to burning minor calories. This can increase the body's metabolism.

The sudden cold temperature due to a cold shower can make blood vessels narrow, with blood flowing into the body's vital organs. When the body returns to normal temperature, blood vessels expand and carry oxygenated blood to the tissue. This can help reduce inflammation, usually caused by muscle aches.
