A contrast shower is a wonderful procedure that, without investment, will help you feel younger, improve your mood, and stimulate brain activity in the morning.
In ordinary people, who are not interested in a healthy life, the body is weakened, the blood circulation, due to which nutrients are transported throughout the body, is disturbed, however, if they “shocked” the body with changes in water temperature daily, they would become resistant to many diseases.
A contrast shower strengthens a weakened body, thanks to which the blood circulates more actively through it. It cleanses of toxins, defeats the fungal disease of Candida, bacteria, yeast, lactic acid. The fact is that soft tissues will give an immediate response to temperature changes, blood circulation and metabolism are stimulated. The parasympathetic nervous system is activated, which is responsible for energy, awakens the brain and releases endorphins. When exposed to cold water, the body is under stress, the adrenal glands become resistant to this.
There is still debate regarding the benefits of hot and cold showers. It is recommended to combine these two approaches to get the most benefit. The standard water procedure lasts 20 minutes: the first 3-4 minutes you stand under warm water, and then abruptly turn on the cold water tap for a minute. Then you make a new turn. Be sure to finish the procedure with cold jets of water, then rub the body with a towel.
If you are a pioneer in this business, do not fall from one extreme to another: turn on water of different temperatures for 15-30 seconds, alternate. After a few months, you will be able to experience significantly high or low temperature changes, you will not be bothered by a runny nose due to the fact that you just walked down the street without a hat for half an hour. This procedure is also recommended for people who lead a sedentary lifestyle.
