Only here at 430 cold showers and cold plunges are all the rage right now. Everyone from athletes to the average Joe is turning the faucet from hot to cold hoping it will improve their health but is taking a cold shower actually good for you. Several claims online to a cold shower could be better for your health. Jane is getting the facts in today's verify. I like a face plunge every morning myself. But when it comes to taking a shower, do you prefer a cold one or a hot one? Several claims online say a cold shower could be better for your health. Let's get the facts. Sources are the Cleveland Clinic and UCL A health Melissa Young with the Cleveland Clinic says research is limited when it comes to the full health benefits of taking a cold shower. I think some of the most supportive um literature is in decreasing pain and inflammation, improving muscle recovery after exercise and the that taking a cold shower can help you lose weight. An article from UCL A health says probably not. They say while your body does expend more energy trying to stay warm in a cold shower. The result is only a small amount of calorie burn and increased metabolism. They stress there are better, more efficient ways to lose weight like regular exercise and maintaining a healthy diet. But doctor Young does say cold showers can reduce inflammation, prevent muscle soreness and relieve localized pain. That's why Young says this method could be good for people go to the gym or people who are just trying to wake themselves up in the morning. However, Dr Yang adds, people should slowly ease themselves into colder water. And for some people, she suggests avoiding the chill altogether. This does impact your sympathetic nervous system. Um And so anyone who has heart issues um should avo avoid cold showers, you know, with concerns about, you know, arrhythmias, abnormal heart rhythms, things like that. Doctor Young's advice, check with your doctor before you try anything new and I'll do it for the news at four.
