showers

are nice, but the drop in body temperature when you finish the shower puts you in danger. a sleepy mood, cold showers, on the other hand, increase your alertness. Try standing under a cold shower and feeling drowsy as soon as the cold water hits you, you will probably take a deep breath and continue this deep breathing while your body is in shock. So why does your body force you to breathe this way? Your body is increasing its oxygen consumption to help keep warm. Our heart rate will also skyrocket, which cheers us up and gives us a boost of energy.

Cold showers make your skin look healthier because they close your pores, which prevents them from breaking out.
