That's funny and way off base.
These aren't testimonies either.
Like I said it's a placebo effect.

I usually take cold showers before I go to work and warm showers before I sleep.

It all just sounds like the placebo effect.
What's the point? How is it healthy for you?

first 5 minutes or so HURT...but as your body adjusts it gets easier and easier...and getting out of a cold shower feels WARM rather than cold like you are used to.
I have to say, every time I did it I came out feeling energized and alive as ever...not sure if it was pure placebo effect or not but it I definitely "felt good".
Yeah that was me. I'm still doing it a year+ later and my body (at age 28) feels better than it has at any point in my life. I started to have a bit of hair loss last year as well and my hair has gotten back to full strength now (plus added some products that I use to fight it). I started doing it because I heard it might help my lower back pain/recover from playing bball faster. I've had lower back pain since I was 16. My lower back has never felt better than it has the past year.
It is incredible how much better my life has been/my body recovers/no aches/pains etc etc etc etc etc
Also, it's not hard..i dunno why everyone is making it out to be some mountain of a thing.
My method:
-Super nice feeling hot water (not on hair) 2 minutes
-Luke cold water (on hair) 1 minute..just cuz it feels nice to get hair wet
-Back to hot water while I soap up/brush/etc/rinse off soap 8 minutes
-Just man up and turn it to ice cold...turn around and let it hit my lower back for 2 minutes...turn around and just get hair/body 1 minutes
Donezo. Feels good + wakes me up + recovers me faster + helps my hair + helps my skin. Well worth it...you get used to doing it. It's not difficult at all. By the way, the weather is 32 degrees here (freezing) so it being cold OUTSIDE has nothing to do with it. You feel warmer going outside after using ice cold water anyways.

Re: Cold Showers.
i can't even remember the last time i took a purely hot shower. maybe a decade ago or summin.
but i'm not in to pure cold unless it's summertime. otherwise i keep switching between hot and cold as my body prompts me. sort of a hot ice treatment. feels great.
