The intense cold impacts the receptors in the skin, which send an overwhelming amount of electrical impulses from the peripheral nerve endings to the brain. Thus, it produces an anti-depressive effect.

Makes the Skin Flawless

Everyone loves their skin to be flawless and smooth. Surprisingly, taking cold shower regularly will help to achieve it. Due to coldness, the skin pores tighten and become sealed blocking dirt and dust from entering under the skin. Hence, the skin is kept clean.

Reduces Body Weight

According to Joslin Diabetes Center, an affiliate of Harvard Medical School, the body contains two kinds of fat; white and brown fat. White fat accumulates as a result of consuming more cholesterol than the body needs and it is deposited at the waist, neck, back and thighs. It is difficult to get rid of this type of fat.

Brown fat is considered to be better since it generates heat to keep the body warm. This body fat is stimulated by cold temperatures and it burns off easily.
