Question 8

is cold shower good?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: It is definitely unpleasant especially for a novice to this practice. I am not aware of any positive effects of cold showers except for possible training to endure cold temperatures in someone who may expect to be exposed to those w/out having adequate clothes. Some popular beliefs are that cold exposure may raise one's body resistance to colds, but that's more of a unsubstantiated myth.
