If you don't know what is best for you, taking a cold or hot shower, then be aware that there are many unknown benefits to both.

In his article published in SaintePlus magazine, author Patrick said that while some prefer to relax after taking a hot bath, others choose a cold-water bath after a long and tiring day.

Here we present the features of each type:

Cold bath features

Therefore, doctors recommend taking a cold water bath, especially before going to sleep.

2- Helping to burn body fat.

3- Promote blood circulation and better blood circulation in the body.

4- Reducing pain and inflammation, as it is a favorite among athletes.

It is often recommended to soothe bruising or redness.

What are the risks of taking a cold shower?

A cold shower puts pressure on the body, and may lead to fatigue or a feeling of shock.

If you have any chronic infection or disease, consult your doctor before taking a cold shower.

Hot bath features

1- Helping to relax, people who suffer from stress and irritability, can get some relief by bathing in hot water.

2- Calming muscle pain.

3- Helping to release mucus in the respiratory system.

What are the risks of bathing in hot water?

While a hot shower has many health benefits, it may not be beneficial for everyone.

Those with sensitive or dry skin, and skin disorders such as dehydration, redness or eczema should avoid exposure to hot water, similar to those who suffer from high blood pressure or dizziness.

What is the best bath in the morning?

According to the author, in the morning it is best to soak in a cold bath in order to be active throughout the day.

To take advantage of all the benefits mentioned above, you can juggle between them to boost your energy, burn body fat, and improve the performance of your muscles.

The writer added that you can spray some cold water after showering with hot water, which will help tighten body tissues and facial skin.

It must also be emphasized that the bath is not a cure for any disease, and it is not a substitute for consulting a doctor. If you suffer from any health problem, you should consult your doctor before changing your bathing habits, especially bathing in cold water.
