Did you know that a cold shower every morning can be really beneficial (healthwise)? this has been scientifically proven. Btw, even during the freezing july/ august weather, i realized that one feels warmer and more rejuvenated after a cold shower as compared to the hot shower..here are facts about the cold shower that i stumbled upon;
1. Improves blood circulation
2. Relieves depression
3. Keeps skin and hair healthy
4.Strengthens immunity
5. Strengthens immunity
individuals who take daily cold showers see an increase in the number of virus fighting white blood cells compared to individuals who take hot showers. Researchers believe that the increased metabolic rate, which results from the body’s attempt to warm itself up, activates the immune system and releases more white blood cells in response.
6. Increases testosterone.
7. Increases fertility.
Cold showers are good for your little swimmers. Your jabulanis aren’t meant to get too hot; that’s why they hang outside your body. Sperm counts decrease when the temperature of a man’s testes increases. Experiments done in the 1950s showed that hot baths were an effective contraceptive. Men who took a 30 minute hot bath every other day for 3 weeks were infertile for the next six months. When the men cut this exposure out, their sperm count went up by 491%, and their sperm’s motility improved as well
8. Increases energy and well-being

You should all try this. of course its terrible at first but you get used to it.

Thats different. u cant compare the hot humid air @ mombasa with a hot shower. an average hot shower ranges from 40-60 degrees celcius

@Dmitry i personally like taking the cold shower every morning and one thing i know for sure is after that i never freeze or feel the cold as much as someone who has bathed with the hot water.
As for the jabulanis am not sure have never put them to test

...what are the temperatures in a sauna..are Jabulanis safe in that enviroment??

kama ni maji baridi mimi siwezi oga come rain come shine...even my mum used to know that.

I drink cold water so I guess the cold water thing is covered after all I believe what matters is what's on the inside.

A hot shower is my motivation for the day so uwes-make hiyo.

can't remember when i last used hot shower....ata maji ya karai lazima hiwe bariti tiiii!! So this thread is a motivation for me to continue with maji bariti showers.

And that is where a DNA test comes in handy!!!

That's why you might realize that even though you and your wifey used to understand absolutely nothing in maths, your kid is the best in his/her class!!! Je ni jirani wagani wanaelewa hesabu??? Na kwanini wanafanana na mtoto 'wako'?

I dont buy the cold shower theory,lakini the thread is interesting.. Where are akina @Burning spear and the other guys from the medical fraternity to confirm all this?

I dont know why people are dwelling too much on the fertility thing..si there are numerous benefits of a cold shower?! just try it. if u are used to the hot shower, do a cold one tomorrow morning. BIG difference. n by the way, u cant get a homa from taking a cold shower. thats just a myth
